British airways pilots death vaccine is not true
News claim: Multiple users on social media shared the news on the death of British Airways pilots died after taking COVID-19 vaccines.
Viral News Information:
Four British Airways pilots dead in one week (post jab). Please don't fly British Airways. First they are directly responsible for mandating these deadly requirements, and morally liable for the death of their employees,
I think people need to wake up and see if the airlines are banning pilots from being jabbed that there is something seriously wrong with the vaccines, especially the mRNA shit. British Airways forced their pilots to get the jab, 4 died in the same week, what does that tell you? pic.twitter.com/Z0jAm4q80e

A Facebook post on June 21, claimed, "Airlines begin to ban vaccinated people after pilots die due to vaccine." The comment under the post said, "4 jabbed British Airways pilots die in one week. However, the airline denies any link to the jab."
Another Instagram post claimed that in a single week, four British Airways pilots and one Delta pilot died and a Canadian pilot became unconscious on the runway. It also claims that these events were linked to the vaccine.
The claim about the British Airways pilots has been debunked by Snopes, Lead Stories and Reuters.
