Unvaccinated People Belong on the No-Fly List

Unvaccinated People Belong on the No-Fly List

Beyond limiting the coronavirus’s flow from hot spots to the rest of the country, allowing only vaccinated people on domestic flights will change minds, too.

When you go to the airport, you see two kinds of security rules. Some apply equally to everyone; no one can carry weapons through the TSA checkpoint. But other protocols divide passengers into categories according to how much of a threat the government thinks they pose. If you submit to heightened scrutiny in advance, TSA PreCheck lets you go through security without taking off your shoes; a no-fly list keeps certain people off the plane entirely. Not everyone poses an equal threat. Rifling through the bags of every business traveler and patting down every preschooler and octogenarian would waste the TSA’s time and needlessly burden many passengers.

The same principle applies to limiting the spread of the coronavirus. The number of COVID-19 cases keeps growing, even though remarkably safe, effective vaccines are widely available, at least to adults. Many public agencies are responding by reimposing masking rules on everyone. But at this stage of the pandemic, tougher universal restrictions are not the solution to continuing viral spread. While flying, vaccinated people should no longer carry the burden for unvaccinated people. The White House has rejected a nationwide vaccine mandate—a sweeping suggestion that the Biden administration could not easily enact if it wanted to—but a no-fly list for unvaccinated adults is an obvious step that the federal government should take.  .  .  .

What about all the illegals Biden is flying all over the country?
Will they be on the No-Fly list?
Or do illegals have "super-rights" above an beyond the rights of an ordinary American citizen?

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

If vaccinated people are getting the Delta Variant, at this point, what difference does it make?

Or are only the people who can afford private jets going to be allowed in the sky?

Maybe they should dig out their Poe and read "The Masque of The Red Death"

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

If the CDC and Fauci are saying that vaccinated people are as much a risk as unvaccinated people, then shouldn't everyone be on their No-Fly list?

Yes, comrade citizen, they do.
Sorry to be blunt, but The Party decides these things.

The "vaccination requirement" for "legal" citizens to fly is likely to be imposed.
What are you going to say to the airport security guys when they say, "no"?
