Added to the growing list of damage the anti-vaccination/anti-mask crowd is doing to America is the recommendation of renewed travel bans in the European Union against U.S. visitors, due to spiking coronavirus cases here. Congratulations to all those anti-science “patriots” out there for turning America into a global leper.
Thankfully, the European Union’s recommendation to its 27 member nations will primarily affect Americans who lack proof of vaccination. Depending on the decisions of individual member nations, Americans with coronavirus vaccination cards will likely still be able to travel through most of Europe, though testing and quarantine requirements might still apply.
The mere fact Americans’ failure to contain the coronavirus has put it back on a watchlist of suspect nations — along with countries such as Kosovo, Montenegro and North Macedonia — cannot be viewed as anything other than a national embarrassment.
