One of the key messages the Biden administration is trying to convey to Americans at this stage of the coronavirus pandemic is that not enough people have been vaccinated, nor have enough people gotten their COVID booster shots yet. However, a much stricter and controversial set of new COVID rules related to international travel -- which Biden officials are reportedly set to announce as soon as Wednesday -- could end up muddying that message and making an already tenuous vaccine uptake picture in this country much more complicated than it needs to be.
Consider, for example, what kind of message it sends about the effectiveness of vaccines. If, that is, you're going to also mandate that fully vaccinated travelers who are either coming to or returning home to the US must ALSO present multiple negative COVID tests. And that they must also self-quarantine for seven days after they return. According to The Washington Post, all of that is where the administration seems to be leaning.
