Wait, the Government Is Now Recognizing Natural Immunity?

Last week, President Biden announced several steps his administration will be taking to battle Covid-19 during the winter, which included updating international travel rules.

On Monday, “the United States will tighten pre-departure testing protocols by requiring all inbound international travelers to test within one day of departure globally, regardless of nationality or vaccination status,” the White House said. “This tighter testing timeline provides an added degree of public health protection as scientists continue to assess the Omicron variant.”

On the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website it explains what, exactly, will be required of passengers regarding testing before a flight. That’s where the carveout for those who have recovered recently from Covid-19 is found. 

“When you travel to the United States by air, you are required to show a negative COVID-19 test result or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 before you board your flight,” the CDC states, emphasis added.

On a separate CDC page, it explains the passenger must have recovered recently—"your positive COVID-19 viral test result on a sample taken no more than 90 days before the flight’s departure from a foreign country and a letter from a licensed healthcare provider or a public health official stating that you were cleared to travel.”

Still, the U.S. is requiring all non-citizens to be fully vaccinated before entering the United States. 

These rule do not apply to illegal immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, however. 

"You advised the president about the possibility of new testing requirements for people coming into this country, does that include everybody?" Fox News’s Peter Doocy asked Dr. Anthony Fauci last week.

After Fauci said “yes,” Doocy pressed him on whether that included border crossers. 

“That’s a different issue,” the chief medical adviser to President Biden replied.

This probably has to do with the policies in some European countries for international travel.

Move in the right direction by only a partial step. T-cell detection for Covid has received FDA EAU and should be allowed as proof of recovery.

“U.S. is requiring all non-citizens to be fully vaccinated before entering the United States. “
Yeah, pretty sure that’s not happening on the southern border.

Invaders are exempt.

Tells me all I need to know. More BS from the Merchant of Death A. Fauci. He invented this disease, in Communist Red China, with US Taxpayer money, and unleashed it on the world.

Lately I have been wondering whether Death Merchant invented HIV/AIDS also?

Amazing! This must mean the government is recognizing God! It is a start or should I say reverting back to our founding Fathers.

"your positive COVID-19 viral test result on a sample taken no more than 90 days before the flight’s departure from a foreign country and a letter from a licensed healthcare provider or a public health official stating that you were cleared to travel.”

Absurd, that they claim that the natural immunity would be of such short duration.

Even here in Germany, one is considered "recovered" (and thus on an equal footing with the "Jabbed") for at least six months after recovery.

Of course, one ought to be considered "recovered" for a full five years.

Not sure if this really means they recognize natural immunity. Rather that one can test positive commonly for a month after infection and occasionally 3 months (due to the extreme high false positive rate of PCR tests for COVID)
