Original Note:
The US DoD study only said that the risk of *aerosol* transmission on planes is low. It specifically didn't consider droplet transmission. So while masks help, the opinion that unvaccinated fliers are unsafe isn't based on misleading information. https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/AD1118088 More on aerosol vs droplet: http://www.cda-adc.ca/_files/about/covid-19/The%20Difference%20Between%20Droplet%20and%20Airborne%20Transmission.pdf
