[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this was a trump policy before vaccines were available, right? why would Biden keep this requirement rather than just require vax OR negative test? [/quote]

It was put in place about a week before Trump's term ended. Vaccines were available by then, but were still pretty limited. That was when the Alpha surge was happening in the UK, which then arrived shortly after in the US.

In early December 2021 the CDC shortened the testing timeframe to one calendar day from three, as Omicron was becoming more apparent.[/quote]
So almost 6 months on, seems like this policy needs a re-visit. 
Are there any numbers about how many people this is actually keeping out of the country? It seem like just a huge money maker for the testing companies. [/quote]

I was just coming here to say this.  I just wasted $180 on emed tests to take with us this summer so that we can test before reentering the US.  What a stupid waste of money for a fully vaccinated family.[/quote]
