FAA Vaccine Policy Violates Its Own Rules, Attorneys and Doctors Say - [your]NEWS

1. This article is from yournews website, but it cites far-right leaning Epoch Times.
2. The doctors and lawyers wrote a letter, but FAA has not responded yet based on need for review
2. The FAA link that the article cites refers to "therapeutic medication" or drug policy. It does not mention vaccine and likely classifies it under a different category

As a person who worked for 29 years as an Air Traffic Controller, never heard this rule, doesnt mean it not real, I was just never told I couldn't take something or work after taking something because it was a new medicine. All medicines that we where allowed to take or not allowed to take and how long after taking it, before we could work was determined by the Flight Surgeon, plain and simple and from my years working for the FAA, the Flight Surgeon will do what the White House wants. The main word there is GENERALLY, opens a big can of worms.

From a link at the FAA,
FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved less than 12 months ago. The FAA generally requires at least one-year of post-marketing experience with a new drug before consideration for aeromedical certification purposes. This observation period allows time for uncommon, but aeromedically significant, adverse effects to manifest themselves. Contact either your Regional Flight Surgeon or AMCD for guidance on specific applicants or to request consideration for a particular medication.

PS; Controllers are required to be vaccinated

Maj Robert Thornton biggest problem with this is that the vaccines are not medicine and they have been approved by the FDA.
