Long overdue!

It is time to do so. People are irresponsible and vaccinated people should not pay for the lack of care and selfishness of people

CDC website. Dec 10 MNWD… 90% omicron cases are in vaxxdd.

Yes

Screw Fauci

Fauci is an idiot

It's not already? America needs to step it up.

Close the border 1st!

Why not HazMat suits and oxygen tanks too?

Dog murderer

How much will you get (profit to you) if this happens I’m not sure you really have a clear view on this virus. I want to believe you, but you just keep pushing more vaccinations. When wi it be enough? Do you know?

What is more likely dying from a plane crash or dying from catching covid on a plane?

Has anyone looked at the environmental consequences if this becomes a requirement? The unvaxed will still travel by vehicle emitting tons of emissions into the air. So many unthought through consequences.

The problem are the UNVAXX who are SPREADING at 50 times the rate of the vaxx. Those dying and those hospitalized are the UNVAXX! The vaxx get a MILD symptom. In contrast the UNVAX get SERIOUS illness at hospital & a final trip to the morgue! Get vaxx! Save a life! Your life!

You are my guide sir, and happy being born day!

KarenBovaird Maybe I would fly again, if there were such mandates.

Or just straight out lack these qualities. Just mean selfish bastards, that just don't have a caring bone in there body.

Devided country people let personal opinion,override morality compassion and empathy.

Yes

More and more seems like people are spitballing COVID19 decisions.

It's been almost 2 years, mask, vaccines and boosters don't work or there wouldn't be these spikes going on all the time. Time to try something else

Over a variant that is the majority of covid cases, and has proven to be far less serious than previous strains? This is getting ridiculous

No shit !

Today is December 28th, 2021 and Joe Biden is the worst President in U.S. history.

Nope

I’m sure the American journalist corp will be asking why people who had covid and are more immune than vaccinated people are not on that list

100%

Said that since Day 1. Covid didn't swim here...it booked a flight.

Twitter is the number one source for misinformation. It seems as though everyone has stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night and thinks they know all about Covid and vaccines. It’s best to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid then open it and remove all doubt.

Why? The vaccinated can spread exactly like the unvaccinated 🤦‍♀️

Vaccination DOESN'T stop the spread of Covid variants. YES, it lessens the illness. But that's not a reason to force vaccination claiming that it reduces spread. Studies show that it DOESN'T. This is pure politics. Dems only hope is to make the 'vax/unvax issue tribal.

Still won’t solve the problem.

P

As soon as you hear the words “Fauci says” stop listening!!

We have had to prove it here in Canada for months. Not a hard thing to do. We have to upload vaccine certificate to the airlines. I am happy to it.

Let’s get you a free pizza while making Pfizer rich putting a so called vaccine that doesn’t stop the virus or Prevent the spread , but yah, let’s get it. Maybe after 1400 boosters it may work 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

If you want everyone to get vaccinated, put something in it to get them high or at least something that pairs well with a six pack of beer. I’m sure this would help.

Wait! Aren’t the vaccines doing their job in protecting the vaccinated?

'Experts'

Agree so we don’t have to bailout the pathetic airline industry for a third time.

Agree

If people would just be compliant, we wouldn’t need to go the extra mile

WHAT ABOUT A FRICKING NEGATIVE TEST.VERFICATION RIGHT B4 WORK AND FLIGHTS WTF AMERICA IS MOST PATHETIC TOWER OF BABEL WORKFORCE A THREAT TO 1ST WORLD HEALTH IN NAME OF WALL ST.MIDDLEMEN DEBT SERVICE.ECONOMY.MORE PROOF U.S.GOVT IS.THE BIGGEST THREAT CITIXEN HEALTH GDMN U.S.GOVT

It's mind control 101.

Fire him his credibility is shot

Why? Where’s the science? Democrats are destroying America 🇺🇸

😩He never plays the quiet 🤫 game.

Breaking news we all dying one way or another die free or die being a slave

It’s time to accept the fact that those shots aren’t doing anything to stop the transmission of the virus. You may not get AS sick, but you’re still going to get sick.

Hell no

The amount of money these organizations have and how they are not using it…

corruption in running wild in America to the point we don't feel like politicians can be brought to justice because the corruption is so ferrous. but the date is coming when these politicians will be brought to justice for the corruption they have allowed in this great nation.

Just stop!! It doesn’t stop the spread. I believe it can mitigate the symptoms. But there is no stopping the spread. Do you not realize there are events where everyone is vaccinated and they’re still having Covid outbreaks afterwards. Fauci is a sham.
