Vax passport requirement? (1 Viewer)

[Western Tanager]

Thanks for all the input. We booked our flights a couple days ago and are hoping for no problems and good birding.

I just came back from Ecuador, and no one ever asked for vaccination status either leaving or entering the country. Hell, no one even bothered to enforce the mask rule, which online sources say is required for the airport.

I don't foresee that situation changing, short of a new pandemic, in which case it probably wouldn't be advisable to travel anyway.

Why would it be not advisable to do something you just did, specially when the conditions are the same?

ps: there is no such thing as 'immunization'. Even vaccined people can get covid. And people who got covid are more resistent, but can still get covid again. I personally wouldn't bother with the WHO brewing up something, I don't think anything will get implemented worldwide anytime soon.

There is, but it doesn't mean "being (100%) immune" as is often implied/misunderstood. It's simply the process of fortifying the immune system through exposure (to the pathogen itself or some derivative, like a vaccine).

Either way, the OP is unlikely to face any restrictions anywhere.

I said if a NEW pandemic happens. Like an entirely new highly infectious/dangerous pathogen appears. I absolutely would NOT travel if some new super flu as contagious and as potentially dangerous as COVID 19 were to show up. I'm vaccinated against COVID-19 and cases have been relatively low over the last year, so I had no qualms with international travel.

I should have added "100%" (immunization) with regards to COVID 19. Semantics.

Oh my , another Chyna virus, super flu or whatever. Then we’ll get another vaccine that they tell us it will prevent the disease and spread , then change that to , it may not prevent the disease but it will lesson the symptoms if you get it , then changed to, it may not prevent the spread. It’s called science.

I can’t speak for international flights, but in the last six months I’ve taken a half a dozen domestic flights in the US and no mask requirements ,hardly anybody is wearing a mask and not even TSA personnel. Nobody is checking temperatures anymore , which was a lot of nonsense to begin with, but they still have the dogs sniffers and the radiation machines you walk through. I’ve always felt a little violated by getting sniffed by the dog and the always enjoyable experience of getting a little dose of radiation.

I know that you know, but in this age of wilful ignorance, semantics matter more than ever.

Best,

My wife and daugher have both just had Chicken pox despite them both being vaccinated.

I'm not one for conspiracy theories but as a previously, very fit person, (as a man in his sixties, I could still row 2000m in under 9 mins, try it!) I developed heart failure from nowhere having had four shots of the Covid vaccine.

But I thought your conditions were established to be long-term undiagnosed suddenly becoming symptomatic rather than of recent origin? I mean lets face it, most heart-attack survivors will tell you they didn't see it coming, whatever shape they were in.

BTW would you happen to know whether, before after or between COVID vaccine doses, you ever contracted COVID?

Can we stick to the OP's travel insurance question.

I will refer people to my earlier post.

Mono, do you ever sleep 😜.

Potentially 'long term' but within the period during which I was vaccinated, they don't really know.

Neither myself or any of my family have had covid afaik.

That's already been my favorite post in the whole thread so far!!
