Everyone on the flight to a country that requires testing and vaccination will have to show tests and vaccine records to even board the plane. Some countries even require a second test on arrival, with such measures in place it shouldnt matter what percentage of the population is vaxxed. Full country bans are nothing but politicking and tit for tat pettiness between countries. We shouldve lifted restrictions on Europeans long ago, our list of restricted and allowed countries has no correlation to the actual safety of the countries. We allow fully unrestricted travel with tests from other countries that went through waves when Europe was low, like Mexico and Colombia. I've viewed countrywide bands as stupid since the beginning, the majority of Americans do not have passports, those who travel abroad are middle class and up or those with family origins abroad and are law-abiding people used to complying with travel requirements.

But at this point, any ban is egregious.
