I deleted a tweet in the comment that was an afterthought, not the comment itself. The comment itself still holds true. I am not an anti-vaxxer, and you couldn't have drawn that conclusion if you had actually read the comment. I was simply stating why this happened. I don't like that it's happening anymore than you apparently do, nor did I render any opinion on whether or not I agreed with the pilots and ATCs that are doing this.
Where did I say that I was surprised? I knew that most people wouldn't read the comment. Both vaccine zealots and anti-vaxxers tend to fly off the handle after reading a word or two that they disagree with and make the rest up in their head. I didn't make anything up, I was merely posting what someone else said and which is the only reasonable explanation for what is happening.
Since you're deriding mine, you seem to have a better explanation for why a huge part of our transportation infrastructure went dark a day after the Southwest pilot's union went to court to try to stop the vaccine mandate. Would you care to share it? I'm certain we would all love to hear it.
I don't have an explanation. I don't have any insights into Southwest's infrastructure and because of that I'm willing to not post any theories - I would be making shit up. Likewise, I wouldn't repost poorly sourced explanations and potentially spread more misinformation. I think all that makes for poor discussion and are the types of comments that would get downvoted.
