Did Pilot’s Union Magazine (ALPA) Reveal That Pilot Deaths Increased After Vaccine Mandates?
Tweet with a piece of information from pilots’ union magazine (ALPA) caused a lot of controversies which was even banned by Twitter even though a picture was taken from official magazine of ALPA.
The list is from the Oct/Nov 2021 edition of Airline Pilot Magazine out of the US.
ALPA represents and advocates for more than 61,000 pilots at 38 U.S. and Canadian airlines, making it the world’s largest airline pilot union. ALPA provides three critical services to its members: airline safety, security, and pilot assistance; representation; and advocacy. Through unbiased, fact-based evaluation of airline safety and security issues, ALPA works to ensure that the airline industry remains safe. ALPA represents pilots’ views to decision-makers, including Congress and federal agencies, and ALPA pilot groups have negotiated hundreds of contracts with airlines.

Response from the ALPA association for people who were sharing post with list of pilots relating them to Covid vaccine is as following :
What remains unclear is if those pilots all received for sure Covid vaccine before their death, which most pilots have to, due to vaccine mandates. Detailed study on this data would be great. Knowing that vaccines do indeed cause thrombosis and risk increases when flying, this is definitely making a case to be investigated in more details.
