US health officials are pushing ahead with a Covid vaccine mandate for travelers entering the country — despite no evidence it reduces infection rates.
There was an expectation the unpopular policy would be ditched when the federal government officially ends the nation's public health emergency on May 11, when any still-standing pandemic measures are expected to be ended.
But, in an announcement Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated the policy rather than dropping it.
The US will allow travelers that have received at least one vaccine dose on or after August 16 into the country. The CDC says this is because many who have received a one dose since this date may have received the more-protective bivalent shot.
Sticking with the vaccine mandate rule makes the US an international outlier. Few countries still require visitors to have received a Covid vaccine to gain entry, including Angola and Indonesia.
The CDC says it will allow people to enter the country who have received just one Covid vaccine since August 16, 2022. They will be considered fully vaccinated
Recent studies have shown the Covid vaccines, while able to prevent hospitalization and death, are not as effective against transmission of the virus.

Just fly into Mexico and cross the border.
It’s all about big pharma’s bottom line. We know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying and we know that they know that we know they’re lying, and they just keep lying. Our government has evolved from hidden incompetence to open maliciousness.
Except for Southern border crossers.
Noting that ordinary citizen voters didn't originally have the power to vote for federal senators or POTUS, what stinks is that constitutionally low-information voters are now electing senators and POTUS who either don't respect, or understand federal government's constitutionally limited powers any better than the voters who elect them do.
Voters then reelect career lawmakers, expecting different results every time.
The bottom line is this imo. As a consequence of ill-conceived 17th Amendment, along with politically correct citizen power to vote for POTUS, media-indoctrinated voters have effectively nullified the idea of a constitutionally limited power federal government.
And I presume we’re verifying all the illegals crossing the border……never mind.
Of course the CDC mandate does not apply to black or brown people entering our southern border.
When Trump restricted people with COVID from entering the country, the media said it was racist. So what’s different now? Oh, wait ...
I would never suggest downloading the covid vaccine card template and using the local pharmacy as the reference on the card.
200% money
5 million+ with no vaccines or masks. How stupid are we?
Good question. I thought returning American citizens did not need to have a vaccination proof?
