Re Vaxx Requirements Extended for Entry to US:
I’m so sorry, LL. That really sucks.
Does this just apply to non-Citizens or do Americans that go abroad have to get jabbed to re-enter?

Citizens cannot be denied entry upon return to their country, so it applies only to non-citizens and people living in the US on a temporary visa. I’m 95% sure that permanent resident non-citizens are exempt from the vaccination requirement as well.
The latest TSA security directive (pdf) states that effective to at least Jan. 8, 2023, aircraft operators must require each non-U.S., nonimmigrant citizen to present paper or digital documentation for “proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19,” or documentation proving the person is excepted from taking the vaccine, before boarding a flight to the United States.
A “nonimmigrant” means not a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, lawful permanent resident, or traveling to the United States on an immigrant visa.
