The Coronavirus, not the beer

The US, for example, is still requiring a virus test to enter the US but not proof of vaccination. In other words, a fully vaccinated citizen can now travel to Canada (with Canadian requirements) but if they want back in they need to have had a virus test. Ridiculous.

Even more ridiculous, Chinese, European and British citizens are still not allowed into the United States. Why? China, for example, has almost no COVID cases–thus there is no reason to restrict Chinese citizens from traveling to the United States. Indeed, President Trump rescinded these restrictions at the end of his term but Biden reinstated them immediately. Why? Travel is now banned from many countries with low COVID and high vaccination rates while allowed from many countries with high COVID rates and low vaccination rates. There is no rhyme or reason to the travel bans and restrictions.

I propose we eliminate the farrago with a simple rule. Anyone vaccinated with a full dose of any WHO approved vaccine should be allowed to visit the United States without restriction. People on twitter responded “but even a vaccinated person could still be a carrier!” No kidding. So what? We cannot eliminate all risk. The logic of allowing vaccinated travelers into the United States is simple–a fully vaccinated visitor is safer than the average US citizen. Thus, allowing more vaccinated people into the United States is not especially risky and is having beneficial effects on the economy.

I'm reminded we had to get rid of Trump to return to competence

[cajunrevenge]

Shows just how incompetent Trump was that he makes Biden look like Einstein

[sturg33]

That you think that makes me never want to smoke weed

[cajunrevenge]

I **** on almost every politician but it's my criticism of Trump that bothers you?

[sturg33]

No that you think Biden looks good relatively

[nsacpi]

anyone is going to look better than he/she really is when following a malign idiot like very poorly chosen one

[sturg33]

Sure thing mask boy

[sturg33]

The guy who consistently praised Cuomo, Whitmer, and Fauci is a great source of judgement on who malign idiots are

[cajunrevenge]

No that you think Biden looks good relatively

Biden will atleast listen to the competent people

[sturg33]

Imagine being so pathetic to thank the government for not allowing you freely move

[sturg33]

It's legit hilarious that there are morons on this board who lecture me that I don't follow the science.

Apparently the science is a boomerang that changes direction literally weekly

"I BELIEVE IN SCIENCE" lol

Man, you could have just said you don’t understand what science is instead of all your posts in this thread and elesewhere

Science does change. It’s a fluid situation when new facts and idea have been tested etc

Put down the bourbon and get some sleep man

It’s gonna suck to know I’m in the same state as your loser ass next week
