Democratic lawmakers are urging President Joe Biden to require that all airline passengers either show proof of full vaccination against the coronavirus or a negative COVID-19 test before boarding a domestic flight.

The request was made in a letter, signed by more than 30 Democrats that was sent to Biden November 11.

"This is a necessary and long overdue step toward ensuring all Americans feel safe and confident while traveling and reduce the chances of yet another devastating winter surge," the Democrats wrote in the letter.

The letter comes as millions plan to travel for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.

This is when the Airlines should announce they will No Longer allow ANY Elected Official on any flight so they can help with Climate Change

The goal is to resize the airlines to under half of what it is now. And make it so expensive only the top few percent can afford to fly.

“Democratic lawmakers are urging President Joe Biden to require that all airline passengers...”


Where in the Constitution is the President granted the power to ‘require’ anything of American citizens?

So if only the fully vaxxed can fly, will it be mandatory to wear 2 masks?

We have survived for two years without these kind of rules. Do the Dims want to kill another industry, because the airlines will go bankrupt if this kind of fascist demand is enacted. People who have so far refused to be injected with an unproven substance will not do it for a matter of convenience of flying. The Dims will not be happy until people are forced to be injected so they can eat.

Power is given by citizens doing nothing.

If they had asked Cheney and Kinzinger to sign on, it would have been a Bipartisan letter.

Democrats love a population of compliant, masked, boostered robots.

Are the vaccines creating new strains that are vaccine resistant?

Most of the vaccinated I know have gotten covid post-vac but those I know who are not vaccinated still haven’t gotten covid or if they have, they have recovered.

The vaccinated scare me and I demand to be protected from them.

I think medical research should be applauded for the tremendous success in the last couple of years in eradicating the flu and dramatically reducing many of the other causes of death. Its just unfortunate that at the very same time the number of deaths saved was offset by Covid./sarc

Well, of course they are.

Did anybody expect anything else?
