Biden imposes new international travel vaccine rules, lifts existing restrictions

U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday signed an order imposing new vaccine requirements for most foreign national air travelers and lifting severe travel restrictions on China, India and much of Europe effective Nov. 8, the White House said.

Goes into effect November 8th.

Basically only vaccinated travelers will get the 3 day window for testing, now unvaccinated travelers will only have a 1 day window.

There are other rules for foreign visitors coming to the US, but they don't really apply to most in this forum.

That's significantly different from the expected changes pre-released a month ago which I posted about. Then they were saying the vaccinated wouldn't need testing and the unvaccinated would need test both before flight and after arrival. It's not as much benefit for the vaccinated or as much hardship for the unvaccinated as I had expected. I'd say this amounts to little change at all since almost everyone from the US was using the rapid test and seems most were getting it on the day before flight anyway.

Instead of using the carrot they are using the stick. They seem to forget that many people don't respond well to the stick.

Depends on how big the stick is, and how hard you get hit by the stick.
Getting over oneself seems to be a good idea.

Governments operate on the consent of the governed. That is even more true with countries with democratic elections.

And don't think that just because people are vaccinated that they approve of the methods. I am vaccianted but I will also refuse to show proof as that is none of anyone's business.

There's more than one way to make a jackass move in the right direction.

Are you a foreigner to the US? Why are you worried about this? I presume you cave into government authority and show your passport when entering the US or is that kowtowing to oppressive government rules too?

Oh please don't pretend that you are making an apples to apples comparison. This testing requirement is for all people entering the US.

LOL. You say you ate the carrot. So prove it, (show your card), or face the stick. Seems simple enough.

I was raised in an era when vaccinations were not looked on as a threat to our "liberties" but rather a gift to our children.
