Signal boost: Delta Airlines and anti-vaccination propaganda

[ritaxis]

The Bad Astronomer tells us that Delta Airlines has contracted to show commercials produced by the anti-vaccination group that sarcastically calls itself "The National Vaccine Information Center."

I wasn't sure how best to contact Delta over this, so I used the customer complaint form. This is what I said:

I have used Delta almost exclusively

I still need to get my flu shot. I appreciate the reminder.

As far as possible, I avoid using Delta anyway, ever since they swallowed up Northwest and then ruthlessly crushed all the employee unions for all their employees. They are run by right-wing Southern scum managers of the unscrupulous sort. I fear they are not likely to listen to us.

I am prejudiced against Delta for eating Northwest Airlines -- not that NW, generally called Northworst hereabouts, were anything to write home about either -- but I do live in their hub city, where their existence raises our prices and makes it difficult to avoid them. I don't know whether my being a captive audience would make my opinions more or less valuable to them. Probably less. But I'll add my mite.

I get the flu vaccine every year, though it helps that I've got asthma, and it's free for asthmatics here. But I probably would anyway. Influenza sucks.

I had the T-DAP, but I can't have a flu shot (egg allergies). We've not been using Delta but Southwest around here....
