After over 3 years of the world being exposed to Covid-19, herd immunity, and the vaccine becoming available, the CDC policy stopping foreign travelers who are not "fully vaccinated" against Covid-19 from entering the United States has just been extended.
Originally issued on October 25, 2021, the policy was set to expire on January 8. However, it will now be extended to April 10, on behalf of a new emergency amendment from the TSA.

Per the amendment, "these policies are intended to limit the risk that COVID-19, including variants of the virus that causes COVID-19, is introduced, transmitted, and spread into and throughout the United States."
However, many are pointing out that the United States is one of the last few countries that are still implementing these restrictive mandates.
As Sydney Watson points out, "The US is now one of only 29 countries (many islands and CHINA) that bars non-vaccinated people from entering," highlighting how even the countries with the most stringent Covid policies don’t require this anymore.

On top of that, Covid-19 has been a part of our daily lives for over 3 years now, lockdowns are over and the widely praised "safe and effective" Covid-19 vaccine and boosters have been on the market for almost 2 years.
Doctors who have been shunned from the mainstream, have also pointed to people’s natural immunity to the virus if they’ve already been infected and the low percentage of death among those under the age of 55.
However, despite all of the evidence that we are no longer living through a pandemic and the FDA updating the Moderna and Pfizer fact sheet regarding "myocarditis and pericarditis" as potential side effects of the Covid-19 vaccine, the current administration is still extending CDC orders that require the vaccination.
Unvaccinated citizens of the world have pointed to the lack of long-term research surrounding the Covid-19 vaccine regarding their skepticism about taking it. However, that hasn’t stopped our government from continuing to restrict the movement of those who push for bodily autonomy.
According to the original CDC order issued in 2021, "Noncitizens who are nonimmigrants and seeking to enter the United States by air are required to show proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before boarding a flight to the United States from a foreign country."
The CDC goes on to state that those who are, "not fully vaccinated against COVID-19" will not be allowed to board their flight to the United States.
It is now 2023 and unvaccinated foreign travelers are still being subjected to mandates, while the Biden administration simultaneously allows thousands of illegals to cross our Southern border. During the fiscal year of 2022, the US even broke historic records as over 2.7 million crossed into the country.
