The implication of aircrews and blood clots is a false inference.
There IS a lack of aircrews causing delays. High altitude isn’t shown to cause blood clots, but the lack of movement DOES show an increase of causing blood clots. Pilots sit at the controls for many hours at a time.
Therefore, No...a lack of aircrews is not because of blood clots.
During the shutdowns some airlines layed-off pilots, and now they must get them trained and current. People don’t understand that pilots are highly regulated and can’t be off flying status that long without having to undergo a review in the simulator.
Take an industry with a high incidence of blood clots like airlines - you have yourself noted the correlation, due to lack of movement and exercise.. which if done would allow circulation to improve. Add any additional factor that increases the risk of clots, like the death vax. How much more exponential is the problem likely to be for pilots?
Add to that word getting round how deadly it is, boycotts and threatened walkouts just like how hospitals are 'overworked' because they were stupid enough to fire large sections of their workforce due to vax refusal. And what you have in airlines is a perfect storm.
Nope, I did not mention a “high incidence of blood clots like airlines.” I said it happens. And I didn’t say it was a lack of exercise....I said it was for sitting for long durations....no different than a truck driver.
Again, you want the narrative to be -airline crews are not covering trips because of the vaccine blood clots.” That is not true.
That is the correlation, those are your own words. I didn't say it was airlines only either, and nor did I accuse you of saying it.
My point still stands. Take two risk factors (already significant when in isolation) then multiply that risk by stacking them together.. its not going to work out well.
Why didn't you just say from the get go, "I don't believe that to be true", instead of talking in circles? Sure, you're entitled to an opinion, but let's keep it real, shall we? That's all it is at this point; an opinion.
Blood clots have always been very common in flying.
Once in a blue moon, the CDC doesn’t provide trash health advice: https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/dvt/travel.html
Because DVT is common for anyone, even passengers that sit a lot....
It is not about altitude. Bus drivers get DVT too.
This quote is from your article.... “However, anyone traveling more than four hours, whether by air, car, bus, or train, can be at risk for blood clots.”
