Interestingly, I’m not necessarily against this whole testing and quarantining regime Biden – well, his advisors, as he doesn’t seem to know what’s actually go on most of the time – wants to put in place. We do want to limit the number of people who are bringing COVID back. Yes, it’s here, but, maybe we could have avoided Xi, er, Omicron, with the first detected U.S. case in the uber-restrictive state of California. Lots of Conservatives are against this. We can disagree. There’s something else in here that’s a bit more interesting
Biden Admin Considering Mandatory Quarantine for Americans Returning from Abroad
The Biden administration is expected to announce stricter COVID-19 testing requirements for all travelers entering the U.S. on Thursday, including returning Americans, according to a new report.
Three federal health officials reportedly told the Washington Post the administration is readying stricter testing requirements amid concern over the new Omicron variant. The new guidance would require everyone entering the U.S. to be tested one day before boarding flights, regardless of vaccination status or country of departure.
Officials are also weighing a requirement that all travelers get retested within three to five days of arrival, as well as a proposal to require all travelers to self-quarantine for seven days, even if they test negative.
The requirements could be enforced by fines and penalties, according to the report.
While the two testing measures are included in a draft public health order written by the CDC that is currently under review by officials at the White House and the U.S. Health and Human Services Department, the self-quarantine requirements are not included in the draft. However, a self-quarantine measure could be added later, officials told the paper.
If the new rules take effect, they would mark a departure from the current guidance that requires only unvaccinated air travelers to be tested no more than one day before departure. Currently, those who show proof of full vaccination must be tested no more than three days before the flight’s departure.
Omicron is still not the predominant version of infection, so, this is pretty much saying that vaccines do no work. Just like forcing the vaccinated, even those who’ve had boosters, to wear masks.
Meanwhile
Eighty House Republicans voted with Democrats on Tuesday to pass the Immunization Infrastructure Modernization Act, which if passed by the Senate and signed into law would fund a federal vaccination database.
According to the bill, also called H. R. 550, the government would provide $400 million in taxpayer dollars to fund “immunization system data modernization and expansion,” a system otherwise defined as “a confidential, population-based, computerized database that records immunization doses administered by any health care provider to persons within the geographic area covered by that database.”
The text specifically outlines an expansion of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Public Health Department capabilities and the ability for state and local health departments, as well as public and private health care providers, to share health data with the federal government.
In a statement, the bill’s main sponsor, Democrat Rep. Ann Kuster (NH), said the system would be used to “remind patients when they are due for a recommended vaccine” and identify areas with low vaccination rates to “ensure equitable distribution of vaccines.” Notably, the bill has four Republican co-sponsors: Reps. Larry Bucshon (R-IN), James Baird (R-IN), David McKinley (R-WV), and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA). Not one Democrat voted in opposition to the bill.
That doesn’t sound like such a bad idea, eh? It can be difficult to track, and records can get lost when switching doctors, moving to different areas, etc. Oh, wait, it’s putting all this information in the hands of un-elected bureaucrats who are not medical professions to nag citizens, rather than leaving this in the hands of their doctors
Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL), who was one of the 130 Republicans to vote “no,” told Breitbart News exclusively on Wednesday that the legislation would enable the federal government to “track” unvaccinated Americans who “will be targeted and forced to comply with Biden’s crazy ‘global vaccination’ vision.”
“These systems are designed to allow for the sharing of crucial information and maintenance of records. Do we really trust the government to protect our medical records?” Miller said. “The bill’s author even bragged in her press release that these systems will help the government remind patients when they are due for a recommended vaccine and identify areas with low vaccination rates to ensure equitable distribution of vaccines. This was clearly a legislative tool to enforce vaccine mandates and force their Orwellian rules onto those who do not comply.”
So, an authoritarian nag system. The Central Planning Government sticking its fingers in everything.
Maybe they can add an abortion database.
Or gun owner database.
The possibilities are endless.

In tyhe meantime, CNBC is pushing an article which says that Omicron “dominate and overwhelm” the world in 3 to 6 months.
It’s simple: when fear fades and the people become too complacent, fear must be stirred up again, to maintain authoritarian control.
The Lexington Herald-Leader gave OpEd space to Richard A. Crosby, Ph.D., the Good Samaritan Endowed Professor at the College of Public Health at the University of Kentucky. He wrote:
It’s always more control and more control.
If Dr Crosby is so very concerned, why didn’t he advocate a return to ‘remote’ education? Oh, wait, that might compromise his professorship!
Teach: Omicron is still not the predominant version of infection, so, this is pretty much saying that vaccines do no (sic) work. Just like forcing the vaccinated, even those who’ve had boosters, to wear masks.
Teach continues his anti-vax stance. Teach seems to not understand, or refuses to understand, that vaccines do work, but are not perfect. The dead and hospitalized from Covid-19 are largely the unvaccinated. Variants (mutants) develop in humans, not by magic. In South Africa, less than 20% of the population is unvaccinated resulting in millions of human “incubators” for the mutation and recombination of Covid viral genomes.
Masks reduce the transmission of Covid-19, so masking of vaccinated/boosted people has two salutary effects – reducing transmission amongst vaccinated and unvaccinated alike, and – encouraging the unvaccinated to wear masks.
It almost seems that conservatives want the pandemic to continue. Is it part of Steve Bannon’s “Chaos to Rebuild America in His Image” plan?
Everything you just stated is false or mostly false as per our official Fact Checker, Me.
If the fake vax stops neither catching nor passing the virus then it does not work as promised. Period. It also means you are no more or less apt to get the virus based on your vax status since both vaxed and unvaxxed catch it. Therefore you only need to decide for your own peace of mind whether you want to get vaxxed, others have no bearing on your decision. To try and force others to take a medicine they don’t want is immoral and fascistic and has no place in a free society nor do those who support that type of progrom.
When has Rimjob, dipshit that he is, ever told the truth?

Brandon: our official Fact Checker, Me
It is to laugh. By all means point out my falsehoods. Please be specific.
How often are people checked for asymptomatic influenza, polio, hepatitis, rubella, measles, etc viruses? How do you know you don’t have subclinical infections of other viruses for which people commonly receive vaccinations? Perhaps you do pass them along to others, but since they’re likely to be vaccinated, they also have no or mild symptoms? What if the only reason we see breakthrough Covid cases in the vaccinated is because we test for it?
The US has a long history of “forcing” vaccinations on Americans for the greater public good. Perhaps the tRump Court can rule that all childhood vaccinations are unConstitutional so that measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, smallpox, rotavirus, hepatitis, polio, tetanus and diphtheria can once again roam free as the gods intended.
Again Rimjob who always deals in generalities asks others to be specific.
It’s to laugh.

“Quarantine US citizens returning from abroad” , but the steady flow of illegals across the southern border, that’s ok.
There, there. The steady flow of undocumented crossing the southern border that started under ex-president tRump where the number of apprehensions nearly quadrupled during 2020 will slow down.
Get vaccinated, boosted, encourage it in others and wear a good mask indoors with strangers.
