Yes - unfortunate if that turns out to be the case, but the medical prognosis seems pretty vague at this point.That he can't fly again.
Even though he decided he was doing himself a favor he found out differently. Even the FAA was promoting a specific vaccine, I think it was Moderna. He doesn't specify which one he took, did he?Yes - unfortunate if that turns out to be the case, but the medical prognosis seems pretty vague at this point.
It was stated in several reports to have been Pfizer. If that was the cause of his condition then obviously he was just really unlucky.Even though he decided he was doing himself a favor he found out differently.

What I read is that it doesn't violate your controlled medications with the FAA only based on the Emergency Use Authorization. That EUA is risky business. The FAA should know better. The FAA maybe isn't giving a mandate, but most likely it is the government subsidized airlines. There were some pilots that have reportedly passed out or died in flight on commercial airlines, but they have tried to deny that those events have happened. Flights being canceled over the holiday season over Corona virus, but next week it migt be a complete walkout as per the deadline.Does the FAA mandate every pilot be vaccinated before they can fly?
A day after I took my first Moderna vaccine shot, (unknown to me) my heart rate shot up to 135+ and my BP dropped to very low rates. I did feel kinda tired after the first shot but nothing alarming. About a week later I suddenly passed out while sitting at the table and woke up on the ground confused to what just happened. Glad it didn't happen while preforming my line of work, or while driving a vehicle. After a bazillion tests and taking amiodarone, I was back to normal within a couple months. But nobody could say the vaccine was the cause and a few weeks after passing out I took the second Moderna shot. The only other time I've passed out was due to altitude sickness about 30 years ago driving at 10,000 feet. But I regularly drive to and above 10,000' yet I've only have had altitude sickness the one time in my life. There are a lot of medications that cause issues with people but in most cases it's rare just like my altitude sickness. I'd guess the FAA might be more concerned with a pilots known medical issues rather than possible side effects of medications that don't generally affect the majority of the population. I wonder how many airline pilots who have taken any of the covid vaccines have passed out?
So sad
Blacked out while flying agriculture spraying plane and somehow made it back to his runway in one piece after getting the vaccine.
Other than the regs stating no use of drugs especially EUA or alcohol while operating drones. Might not quite be the problem this guy experienced while he was lucky nothing more than that happened.What does this have to do with drones?
Not sure how long he was blacked out for either.If he noticed he wasnt feeling right immediately upon take off, why did he continue flying for another 2 hours?
