Are people retarded?
? These people are stupid!
I live in a very lefty area and lately tons of handwringing on social media about “how will we know who is vaccinated?” The person asking this is always presumably vaccinated.
Do they not understand that them being VACCINATED means that they are VAC-CIN-ATED? I.e. the point of the VACCINE is to protect you against the VIRUS. So why do you give a shit if someone else has it - you are VACCINATED & PROTECTED (other controversies aside).
I think these are some of the stupidest people I have ever encountered. Boggles the mind.
If you’re asked in a foreign country, and refuse, US privacy laws won’t protect you. So if the country you’re in doesn’t also have those privacy laws, then you’ll suffer whatever the local consequences are.
But you won't be able to travel TO that foreign country without proving vax status before you leave US. Problem solved. Don't go until all of these countries rethink their positions.
I think that is the right answer. When tourism dollars stop because no one goes there because of the vax requirement, they will rethink their decision. Except that so many are willingly getting the shot. It is incredible how many will just let themselves be injected with a experimental shot.
Not only the vax requirement, but from what I've watched over the past 4 years, the EU countries have all let the refugee forced immigration stuff ruin the major capitals and larger cities of yore. (Exception: Poland, maybe one or two others) No one talking about this - if the refugees' countries are 'settled' now, pay to send them back home. If you didn't visit EU 20 years ago, then visiting now you will be directed to the tourist-trap approved areas (read: safe and vanilla) and won't be able to free-wheel around the countryside and enjoy the Schengen. No way I would send a teenager of mine to take a 'free' year off between HS and college to backpack thru Europe. Sadly, those days are gone. (Italy, I really miss you.)
