Some airlines, most of them international, ban fabric face masks
https://www.seattletimes.com/life/travel/some-airlines-starting-to-ban-fabric-face-masks/
Now that the face mask mandate has been extended through January 2022 by the federal government, a new wrinkle.
It’s no longer a question of wearing a face mask on some airlines, but the right face mask.
Turns out, some airlines are banning fabric face masks.
Finnair became the latest to do just that, tweeting its new policy out earlier this week:

This could get interesting. Let’s see how much they support science now. :lmao:
Someone is going to be butt hurt!

Does DUmmie SheltieLover realize (s)he posted an almost identical thread about this on August 21? https://conservativecave.com/cave/index.php?topic=125851.0 . My post from the Cave thread:
Perhaps DUmmie SheltieLover doesn't fully understand the article (s)he posted. Let me use myself as an example. The masks I use most often (when required, not as a Panic-Fashion statement) are homemade, of two layers of cotton fabric. They would not be accepted on the few foreign carriers listed in the article, but would be acceptable on US carriers (and were, without comment, in airports and aboard planes during my recent multi-stop trip to KC). Pretty much all that US carriers decline to accept are things like bandannas, scarves, and neck gaiters (aka runners' buffs).
BTW, domestic air carriers' standards are impose by the Feds, and also apply on US airport properties, not just on planes. However, I doubt US air travel standards will be changing to exclude fabric masks.

I forgot about that thread. LOL
It makes me wonder ... some of the vaccines produced have been found to have stainless steel particles in them and, if memory serves, 2 people in Japan died when they received doses that were tainted. My question to anyone who thinks wearing a mask helps, would you be willing to let your physician pour the tainted vaccine through your mask before administering it to you to ensure there are no particles of stainless steel in it?
I'm thinking I wouldn't have very many takers on that offer.

What is known at this point is that that was a single batch, used in Japan, produced by Rovi, a Spanish contract manufacturer. Two people died, though their symptoms and the timing were not consistent with heavy metal poisoning ... out of a couple hundred thousand who received doses from that batch. Probably a machine with a mechanical breakdown. Moderna doesn't use Rovi for US vaccine production, nor do, AFAIK, Pfizer or J&J use Rovi at all.
BTW, magnets and ferric metals aren't attracted to the injection site for the Pfizer vaccine, a common dumb anti-Covid-vaxxer claim. I tested it, because of the :rotf: .
