White House COVID-19 adviser Anthony Fauci responded to questions and concerns that the COVID-19 vaccine may trigger adverse health reactions among pilots.

On Oct. 8, a Southwest Airlines pilots union filed a lawsuit against the firm to block the airline’s vaccine mandate. Southwest’s pilots’ union, as well as other pilots’ unions, has warned that vaccines could impact their ability to do their jobs or get medical clearance, citing federal health data suggesting a link between the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines and myocarditis or other health concerns.
