    I'm really very tired and jumped to the conclusion that you meant Wednesday night. My bad.

    Proof of vaccination is required everywhere inside in LA right now. I’m at LAX about to fly home. Been a fantastic trip!

    I’ve never been asked once to show my vaccination card.

    How was it? Did it take longer or didn't add that much extra time?

    I mean, it was the Winterhawks so nobody was really breaking down the door. The line moved just fine and didn't add any time at all though.

    No, actually. It's far better to have people like that ignorantly get vaccinated than refuse vaccination.

    Just post the numbers.

    Or if you were going to post about it, this would be better.

    We don't even know the circumstances of General Powell's death. We don't know if he contracted COVID or if he had a possible adverse reaction to a booster or if he even have a booster. We don't know if the vaccine he had "wore off" or what. Not a lot of info out there.

    He could have died with COVID instead of being a COVID death, but that's how they count COVID deaths.

    Isn't the J&J totally different from the mRNA vaccines? Seeing as there were more problems with J&J to begin with, this seems odd.

    well I was thinking maybe Andrew Wiggins would have been the first sports athlete to pull off a fake vaccination card.

    No, it isn't. Covid has to be a contributing factor to the death to be counted.

    If you fall out of an airplane and splat on the ground, and you happen to have covid at the time, you aren't counted as a covid death.

    You have to wait for the NTSB report, which can take years to complete. Therefore no plane crashes are counted as covid deaths so far.

    Also any decent pilot would put it on autopilot while he hacks up a lung.
