Fully vaccinated people can travel again, new CDC guidance says

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its guidance to say fully vaccinated people can travel within the U.S. without getting tested for the coronavirus or going into quarantine afterward.

Previously, the agency had cautioned against unnecessary travel even for vaccinated people, but noted that it would update its guidance as more people got vaccinated and evidence mounted about the protection the shots provide.

According to the CDC, nearly 100 million people in the U.S. — or about 30% of the population — have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. A person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the last required dose of vaccine.

You aren’t sick. Covid doesn’t exist. Who are you going to believe; me or your old lying body?

[Sacajaweau]

30% have received the vaccine and bet another 30% have had Covid.

[SgtHooper]

For heaven’s sake do not end up in the hospital for any reason! You may get it while under.

[petitfour]

Again?

Never stopped.

My perennial question: how about those who’ve recovered and have antibodies?

So, I'm going to Mexico tomorrow and have looked this up. I tested positive for Covid on March 5th and had a pretty mild case. I happened to have been vaccinated on March 3rd. The CDC Attestation form has an option for me. It basically allows re-entry to the US with either of the two options:

1. If you have tested positive for Covid in the last 90 days and have fully recovered. You must have a letter from a licensed health care provider OR health care agency that you have recovered and are ok to travel along with the positve test results from the last 90 days.

2. Have a Covid test that results in negative within 3 days of returning to the US.

I believe the rapid antigen test is sufficient. I will have my positive covid test results in hand along with a letter from my doctor I obtained on Wednesday. My doctor advised me to wait until June or July (90 days from my first vaccine) to get the second vaccine.

The funny part is going to Mexico they don't have these restrictions but the resort had a questionnaire and one of the questions asked if you have recently traveled to China, a couple of other countries I can't remember, Washington, California, or New York. Well... I "LIVE IN" Washington so I answered "No" to that question because I haven't "TRAVELED TO" Washington... ha ha ha

“...the level of antibodies present in your body has you every bit as safe from reinfection as those who’ve been vaccinated.”

Eh, that’s elevating “vaccination” by an experimental vaccine far more than it deserves, yet!

[SgtHooper]

I am not fearful. I simply do not believe the CDC, WHO, and other “top” governmental medical agency has our health as a top priority right now.

‘ CDC is NOT a govt agency....’

And...?

Can a hospital forcefully administer a covid vaccine while you are sedated and without your permission?

[JayAr36]

It was to bow to the CDC.

"I've been traveling already without taking any coronavirus vaccine and I'll continue to travel when I want to."

This is how it's done. Thank you.

We lack the cancer causing shot or something.

Extremely nonsensical to push the shot if you’ve have COVID.

In Israel, it’s illegal to get the shot if you had COVID.

[who knows what evil?]

Thank you, master...

[jmacusa]

Well thank you so much O Kind and Beneficent Great Government for allowing me, a mere peasant to travel the realm now that thous hast commanded I may do so.

[Walrus]

EVERYBODY can travel, a**holes.

This is America.

[lightman]

Of course they “can”.

The question is whether they “may”...and the civil and criminal reprecusions would be for bodily violation of an unconscious person unable to give consent.

[DesertRhino]

Oh yeah? So can I.

[lightman]

NEVER ask “permission”.

Seek forgiveness...only if caught.
