Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) introduced a bill on Wednesday that would require travelers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or test negative before domestic travel.

The U.S. Air Travel Public Safety Act would require the Department of Health and Human Services and the Federal Aviation Administration to develop standards for airlines to verify that a person has either been vaccinated, tested negative for COVID-19 or has fully recovered from a coronavirus infection to be able to fly.

In a statement, Feinstein said the U.S. cannot go through a surge in coronavirus infections this holiday season like the surge that occurred during the 2020 winter season.

“Ensuring that air travelers protect themselves and their destination communities from this disease is critical to prevent the next surge, particularly if we confront new, more virulent variants of COVID-19,” Feinstein said.

“It only makes sense that we also ensure the millions of airline passengers that crisscross our country aren’t contributing to further transmission, especially as young children remain ineligible to be vaccinated,” she continued.

1. Good.

Although it will be a long time before I'm willing to travel by air, fully vaccinated as I am.

2. Larry Elder threatened to replace her with one of his GQP pals

if he had won the CA Recall. He lost...Elder 38%, Newsom 62% of total votes.

[Mr.Bill]

5. Except he would have had no authority to do that

unless she died or resigned.

7. I think he was hoping for just that.

6. But Elder only got 1/2 of the 38%.

9. You're right.

Poor Larry.....

10. Yes, this!

Larry Elder is a great big loser, so who cares what he would have wanted to do? I certainly don't.

11. Do children have to get tested, too? They should. I was on a flight next to a horrid screaming brat,

who didn't have to wear a mask since he was under 2. He started getting red in the face and coughing, whereupon I asked to be moved to an empty seat.

Fortunately, there was just one spare seat on the whole plane. I was still near kids, but at least they were older, masked, and not misbehaving. Still, it was too close.

I don't want to fly again unless children are prevented from spreading COVID all over the place. Maybe not until after they can get vaxxed, but requiring tests would at least reduce the risk.

12. How will it pass tho?

13. We need vaccine passports and to exclude/shun assholes who refuse to be vaccinated

Here is a great example of why unvaccinated assholes should NOT be allowed to fly
