Hawaii will not require tourists to be boosted to visit, in a reversal of COVID plans
SFgate ^ | Feb. 8, 2022 | Joshua Bote

Tourists looking to visit Hawaii will not need to receive the COVID-19 booster shot to count as fully vaccinated, Hawaii Gov. David Ige announced Tuesday.

“In making this decision, we considered declining COVID-19 case counts in Hawaii, the continental U.S. and Europe,” Ige said in a statement. “Hospitalizations have also dropped.”

Ige also cited Hawaii’s high rates of vaccination and boosting as a reason not to mandate boosters for visitors — statewide, 75.2% of residents have received the initial round of vaccines (two doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or one Johnson & Johnson vaccine) and 35.8% have been boosted, according to Hawaii's COVID-19 dashboard.

PSEUDO-SCIENCE... it's all the rage these days!

Make science up to control people's lives. When the people rise up wanting heads on pikes just change the science!

See the very last paragraph in the mealy mouthed story.

Short answer no. But it looks like the vaxxed will have to test out and/or quarantine.

Meanwhile, the big news in the state seems to be political corruption.

There’s a shocker.

I’ve lost all desire to ever set foot in Hawaii.

So if no jab you must quarantine for 5 days unless you have negative tests. This is just ANTI SCIENCE STOOPID ON STEROIDS. The jab doesn’t prevent covid so being jabbed is no different than being unjabbed.

There is just no way you are going to do all the flights and hotels, etc, and then have all that get blownup a couple of days before departure by some phony positive test result on one or more of your vacation travellers.

I know the hotel desk people WILL rat you out if they see you leaving before the 5 days is up.

“...the UNVAXXED will have to test out and/or quarantine...”

IMO opinion that too will go away. The mighty dollar(well it used to be)greatly influences the policy at tourist destinations. I believe the same holds true for Canada. They have been missing out on a lot of US vacation dollars, especially from the fishermen and hunters.

Agree.

I’ve been to close to all the major us airfields on the planet Earth.

The most openly hostile and anti Semitic (or maybe just anti-white, I have a sample size of myself and and both white and Jewish) place I’ve been excepting Turkey was Hawaii.

Truly horrible.

Probably. They did through in some “free palestine” stuff, but that was probably due to the uniform.
