But International Travel Is So Easy Right Now

I don't understand how this plan could have gone wrong.

There must be a Deep State conspiracy.
Robert Kennedy Jr., who is considered one of the top spreaders of vaccine misinformation in the U.S., posted the news to his 230,000 Facebook followers.

Rizza Islam, another prominent promoter of vaccine hesitancy especially within the Black community, tweeted conspiracy theories about the Johnson & Johnson news to his 54,000 followers on Twitter (Islam was recently removed from Facebook). 

Even some state lawmakers used the news to imply vaccines aren't safe. One Pennsylvania state lawmaker, Rep. Rob Kauffman, posted to his 13,700 Facebook followers that "we don't fully understand these vaccines."

There’s a strong temptation to invoke “Darwin Award Winners.” But I think the justification of “vaccine passports” is just going up.  We can’t control idiots who dabble in nonsense; we can keep people from exposing the rest of us to the consequences of their idiocy.
