The U.S. currently mandates that most foreign nationals traveling to the U.S. be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, though citizens and permanent residents only need to show proof of a negative test taken within a day of boarding.
Biden did not respond to questions on whether he was considering implementing a domestic air travel vaccination requirement, but he told reporters that the subject was discussed on a call with the nation’s governors Monday morning. Earlier this year the White House explored a domestic vaccination requirement for flights, or one requiring either vaccination or proof of negative test. But officials have not been eager to mandate vaccination for domestic air travel because they expected it to face immediate legal challenges, mitigating its potential effectiveness as a tool to drive up vaccinations.
“We also know that putting in place that additional restriction might delay flights, might have additional implications,” she added. “We would do it, though, if the health impact was overwhelming. So we rely always on the advice of our health and medical experts. That isn’t a step at this point that they had determined we need to take.”
What happened to the vaccine that was being developed in 2003 for the first SARS outbreak! Is the vial still sitting at the lab in Galveston, TX?
Why don’t you shut the borders and secure the United States and then deal with the problem within our own population. Then worry about the rest of the world when we get it situated.
🖕
The airports should have been shut down and we wouldn’t be in this mess
No matter what is done covid is here to stay forever. Learn to live with it and move on with your pathetic lives. What is sickening? The neverending BS propaganda. 🤡 🐑
Should have been the rule all along.
What we need is Mandated testing. As you can still spread Covid if you are vaccinated..
AlieCab Canada has!

Joe is a JOKE! General Grant's Ghost is Envious! 'I Should Have Been Elected in 2020'! I could 'Hide Behind' the Necessity of The Modern Age for Thievery on 'Party Demand'.
How Many of those Rabid Tests will go unused? Taxpayer Fund it. Streetperson and or Hardworking man knows he doesn't need it! But the Taxpayer Dollars are GONE! Given to Healthcare Thieves! Biden is Out of his Mind? 500,000,000 tests!
Joe is Stealing Money from the Common Man re: Rapid Tests! He is Making Americans THINK ITS NECESSARY! Poor Black Men LOSE!
There's compelling argument for more aggressive and stringent nation wide strategy like in Philadelphia city to force unconditional compliance, otherwise, we risk seeing another spike in losses of lives..I just lost a mother who returned from Florida infected
Fauchi should worry about his defense strategy with his lawyers, his time Will Come.
I’m all for vaccines and boosters, but mandating it for air travel is too much. People need to see their families & travel for work.
He and Biden have provided so much conflicting information they no longer deserve to be trusted. They are more like political hacks who should retire ASAP
Yes..get it done!!
Remove top and expert then delete the rest and you're on to something
Good. At least the flight attendants would be safer and even we would be less likely to be inflicted with MAGAgitis.
The little boy who cried wolf. They will continue with the fear mongering tactics and pretty soon no one will be listening to them.
Airplanes kill the atmosphere. For the sake of climatology shutdown all air travel
Says the man that lied to congress --- why aren't you in jail, Falsey
Honestly, how does Fauci have any credibility still? Zero of his suggestions are fact/information based at this point. He's willing to die on the vaccine hill and try to take as many with him as possible.
This Fauci guy is a snakeoil salesman.
Fauci is a Sith Lord!
Fauci is no longer the top infectious disease head let alone an expert. He needs to go.
Fauci has as much credibility on COVID Advise as VP Harris does on her handling of the Border! NONE!
Not smart DrFaucis1 CNN FoxNews kilmeade
This 'spike', how many deaths are connected to this newest 'variant'? I can't find the death count when watching CNN or do MSNBC anymore.
Still lots of ignorant people. None of these things have stopped the spread so let’s double down on them. Wake up this isn’t going anywhere so get back to normal. It’s transmitted through animals to humans so nothing we do will make it completely go away.
And I consider Fauci a POS

Long overdue. These anti maskers and anti vaxxers don't need to ✈️️. They can drive their cars domestically around the country and be mask free and unvaccinated.
My Twitter, Facebook feed, and high school level knowledge provides the only opinion I care about. Dang scientists. Don’t look up!
Let’s Go Brandon!
Why this isn't a directive is beyond me.
What the fuck are we waiting for
