Last month, the US closed their borders to foreign nationals that were in South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi due to the Omicron variant.

With the variant now spreading locally across the globe, the US announced that the border will reopen on 12/31.

US officials justified the ban by saying that it delayed the spread in the US, which gave time for the variant to be better studied.

I was in South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Namibia in October and there has never been a better time to visit. We had the magnificent Victoria Falls and entire safari resorts to ourselves at rock bottom pricing!

Will other countries ease up on their travel bans in the coming days?

    LULZ. I guess we may as well speed up the contagion and see how much we can strain our hospitals.

    Also, hospitals (and idiot Biden) sure were intelligent about firing their staff over a now useless vaccine. Yes, useless vaccine using the correct definition of vaccine we had for centuries before the stealth edit.

      The fact of the matter is that the horse is already out of the barn.

      As to your oblique reference to the “correct definition” of vaccine, do you mean injecting the pus of a cowpox lesion into a cut on a child’s arm? (Source: https://www.sciencefriday.com/articles/the-origin-of-the-word-vaccine/)

      True, MRNA vaccines do not include a living virus. That does not make them ineffective. On the contrary.

          The change was made to clarify the always factual statement that vaccines are not and have never been 100% effective. However, if someone is prepared to distrust a source, in this case the CDC, nothing could convince that person that the change was not done for malevolent purposes.

            Just admit you think anything in a syringe is a vaccine (and that you have zero clue what you’re spewing).

            Huh? You can get lost. You sound even more clueless.

    Terrible news indeed. Until now, we were able to go full steam stepping on Yehuda57’s toes, as there was no way for him to flee back home. But now we will have to start going easy on him if we want him to stick around…

    The UK was actually the first to drop the Africa travel ban, back on the 15th of December.

    Meanwhile EY has moved to a 4th booster and more restrictions including the US .

      Fourth/fifth booster? When will people wake up that Pfizer/Moderna/Bibi/Bennet are making millions?

    Why aren’t those lions pictured, wearing their disposable masks? They are super spreaders.

    Maybe we shouldn’t say there has never been a better time to go? You used to add a disclaimer..
