I'm sure freedom loving anti vaxxers will apply some sort of twisted rhetorical reasoning why it would be illegal for an airline to make the decision to provide the most secure travel in the industry when it wasn't even mandated.

United is leading the pack in vaccine mandates, they are firing over 500 employees that refused to get vaccinated...they can go to another airline that doesn't require it...yet.

United would find the benefits of requiring passengers to be vaccinated to be profound...
...Business among vaccinated people would be far greater than the people they lose that are not.
...no more costly delays for idiots acting up about masks and holding up flights or causing turnarounds
...no more flight attendants being attacked
...heck, no masks needed at all

Flights for United customers could go back to some semblance of normal, which it is not at this time. In fact I would be willing to pay a substantial premium for the airlines that go here.

This is where we are headed folks, I actually have no problems with not forcing all airlines to go here, leave some that want to cater to the people that vaccinated people would just as soon not have to be locked in a closed environment with. We are headed for a somewhat segregated society.

After 16 months of my own family and friends experiencing Covid-19, some getting "vaccinated", some not, some using holistic treatment like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine, and some not, we have observed:
Unvaccinated people who get serious Covid-19 and don't treat it, are much more likely to be hospitalized and/or suffer longer than those who used treatments of Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin.
"Vaccinated" people still contract and spread Covid-19 but typically suffer less and/ shorter duration than Unvaccinated, but with unknown long term effects.
Take your pick, but beware of door #1.

No, Vaccinated People Are Not ‘Just as Likely’ to Spread the Coronavirus as Unvaccinated People
This has become a common refrain among the cautious—and it’s wrong.

Among this last group, a common refrain I’ve heard to justify their renewed vigilance is that “vaccinated people are just as likely to spread the coronavirus.”

This misunderstanding, born out of confusing statements from public-health authorities and misleading media headlines, is a shame. It is resulting in unnecessary fear among vaccinated people, all the while undermining the public’s understanding of the importance—and effectiveness—of getting vaccinated.

So let me make one thing clear: Vaccinated people are not as likely to spread the coronavirus as the unvaccinated. Even in the United States, where more than half of the population is fully vaccinated, the unvaccinated are responsible for the overwhelming majority of transmission.

if someone isn’t infected, they can’t spread the coronavirus. It’s truly that simple.

That’s why getting more people their shots is crucial for controlling the spread of the coronavirus: Every vaccinated person helps limit the virus’s ability to hide, replicate, and propagate.

Among the unvaccinated, the virus travels unhindered on a highway with multiple off-ramps and refueling stations. In the vaccinated, it gets lost in a maze of dead-end streets and cul-de-sacs. Every so often, it pieces together an escape route, but in most scenarios, it finds itself cut off, and its journey ends. It can go no further.

This is borne out by recent data from New York City that show that more than 96 percent of cases are among the unvaccinated. Only 0.33 percent of fully vaccinated New Yorkers have been diagnosed with COVID-19.
