Airline analogy - how ironically appropriate. FAA signed off on the newly designed Boeing 737 Max and then suppressed pilot reports of malfunctions. After two tragic disasters, the world grounded the aircraft as an investigation was launched.

Sounds like FAA and FDA share the same working model.

I did not get on the plane - I knew not to the day they said pregnant women could/should get on the plane. I am a prenatal genetic counselor who now works in human genetics research doing the consent forms and regulatory paperwork and it all felt wrong to me. Nothing new has ever been said to be safe for pregnant women! I called BS. I have type 1 diabetes and went on the FLCCC prevention protocol ASAP and put the rest of my family on it too and I isolated when people in my family were sick. I even left the house three times for 2 weeks at a time. My daughter is a PICU nurse and my husband is an airline pilot. My youngest had the alpha variant at college - the nurse had the delta variant and eventually my husband and I got Omicron and we all went on the early treatment protocol and were fine - for me Omicron was nothing but a head cold for 4 days. Only my husband (the airline pilot) has ironically boarded this plane - because he was trying to protect me :( and his job - he did it without telling me at first. He has not gotten back on the plane since the initial series. I will say of all of us - when he got sick - he was the worst and yet in the best shape other than the college student.
