US to require vaccines for all border crossers in January

4. great news! will be exciting to see how they enforce it

I wonder what vaccine tracking system they will require them to use? Paper? Phone-based? Maybe a fingerprint or retina based system?

There's a lot of gqp wandering around with fake vaccine passports and maybe this can be the next step in cracking down on that. These people as non-residents will have less in the way of legal and personal resources to fight a mandate. By starting with them we can set a legal precedent that will weaken any potential case from resident anti-vaxxers.

This won't apply to asylum seekers just yet. Not sure what the timeframe on that is but I think they're a lot more sensible than our average US "citizen" and will probably be quite happy to get a free vaccination that is backed by science.
