To recap: Anyone vaccinated with a full dose of any WHO approved vaccine should be allowed to visit the United States without restriction.South Africa’s agricultural sector is one of the world’s most diverse, consisting of corporate and private intensive and extensive crop farming systems, including vegetable, fruit, nuts and grain production. For special cases, a test could be allowed in lieu of a vaccine, especially if it was followed up with an airport vaccination but vaccination should be the primary requirement. Indeed, the United States has in the past required vaccination prior to arrival so this would hardly be unprecedented. A vaccine requirement is no more difficult to enforce than a testing requirement. “Vaccine passports” became politically charged but what we have now is a bizarre combination of “testing passports” and “no passports.” In contrast, a vaccination requirement for travel is simpler, cheaper, more convenient and more effective than a test and it creates greater freedom than no passport at all. Thus, allowing more vaccinated people into the United States is not especially risky and is having beneficial effects on the economy. The logic of allowing vaccinated travelers into the United States is simple– a fully vaccinated visitor is safer than the average US citizen. People on twitter responded “but even a vaccinated person could still be a carrier!” No kidding. Anyone vaccinated with a full dose of any WHO approved vaccine should be allowed to visit the United States without restriction. those written in exile) held outside South Africa and Lesotho. I propose we eliminate the farrago with a simple rule. Collectively, these growers own or control no less than 93 of the country’s total plantation area of 1.2 million hectares. There is no rhyme or reason to the travel bans and restrictions. To this end, Forestry South Africa (FSA) represents 11 corporate forestry companies, approximately 1 100 commercial timber farmers and some 20 000 small-scale growers. Why? Travel is now banned from many countries with low COVID and high vaccination rates while allowed from many countries with high COVID rates and low vaccination rates. Indeed, President Trump rescinded these restrictions at the end of his term but Biden reinstated them immediately.
Why? China, for example, has almost no COVID cases–thus there is no reason to restrict Chinese citizens from traveling to the United States. Ridiculous.Įven more ridiculous, Chinese, European and British citizens are still not allowed into the United States. In other words, a fully vaccinated citizen can now fly to Canada (with Canadian requirements) but if they want back in they need to have had a virus test. The US, for example, is still requiring a virus test to enter the US but not proof of vaccination. International travel restrictions are a farrago built on fear, statistical confusion, and out-dated information.
