> I can't wait to travel to Mexico or Canada to get a vaccine! But... how? I do remember times during COVID when you couldn't even get on the plane without proof of vaccine.

I thought it was vaccine or a negative test within the past x days. In any event, Mexico and Canada are special in that they share a terrestrial border with most of the United States.

  I don't know about Mexico but Canada enforced vax requirements for anyone crossing by land, with the exception of truckers.

    For covid. Presumably ebiester is interested in being vaccinated against other diseases.

      Yup. If they take this far enough I’ll be taking my son out of the country for boosters. I’m not letting my son be hurt, become sick, or die (depending on the wide range of diseases young children are vaccinated or inoculated against) because of this out of touch scam artist nepo baby.

        Have you considered taking your child to a European state? Reason I ask is that there is a vaccine for tuberculosis (the BCG vaccine) which is widely available in European countries but not in the USA. On my next trip to Europe I hope to take that vaccine. FWIW TB was the leading infectious disease killer in 2023 (surpassing COVID-19) https://www.who.int/news/item/29-10-2024-tuberculosis-resurges-as-top-infectious-disease-killer https://www.who.int/news/item/29-10-2024-tuberculosis-resurg... and remained so in 2024.

        Happily TB is rare in the US, but if you travel a lot maybe it's worthwhile.

        Rare for now.

I was thinking things as benign as the flu or shingles - I'm hoping we don't have anything like COVID again.

> I do remember times during COVID when you couldn't even get on the plane without proof of vaccine. I specifically remember you could either show proof of vaccination OR proof that you had tested negatively quite recently. If you are against _testing_ too, I don't think we have anything further to discuss.
