EXCERPT:
CARLSON: "One of the reasons that commercial air travel is so safe in this country is that the FAA has stringent guidelines for the hang of pilots, and that’s, of course, important. You don’t want your pilot dying with a planeload full of passengers. And yet, here is something pretty amazing that happened without much notice at all. Without any explanation publicly, the FAA just made a major change in the health requirements for pilots with heart damage. The FAA has significantly broadened the acceptable EKG range for commercial pilots. Steve Kirsch reported this on the Substack. The change now allows people with injured hearts, cardiac injury, to fly. Now, the FAA made this change last October, just after the vaccines were rolled out and made mandatory. Why? Well, we reached out to the FAA today for an explanation, they claim they 'follow standard processes based on data and science,' whatever that means.”
