My feeling is that they will continue EHAS, so long as they can charge tourists $15 a head for it, for their insurance, which is pretty useless..

Personally, I am totally in favor of everyone having to get a Covid shot, so if they want to require vaccination, I'm actually fine with that. But as I said, at this point, I think it's totally about the money. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

Speaking of careful, we are one of the few, but so far, we have been masking in the grocery store here. Otherwise, pretty much anyplace else we have been has been outside. Too many reports of people getting sick here, or testing positive once they are home.

Canuck--the problem is that we all know that the vast majority of that $15 is not going to support the government even. It's going in someone's pocket. And they use the cover story that it's for Covid insurance..

Well we won't be getting 4 now almost 5 year old Baby Girl vaccinated any time soon until there is a more traditional vaccine available. Shee had the misery back in January 2020 when we did and had the sniffles for all of one whole day while we suffered from the misery for 2.5 weeks. Gotta love that little kid immune system. Good call. Both of our kids had it, one vaxxed one not. Why isn’t the gov recognizing natural antibodies after infection? Another physician couple we know also had it go through their vaxxed family. One child has now developed type 1 diabetes. Another pt of mine, vaxxed, had rheumatoid conditions, now has scleroderma… 47 years old and he could bench 300 last year. Today, you are better off getting Covid, in its dilute form, than a vaccine. Few tourists places have these entry conditions anymore. The $15 they charge is peanuts to what the island loses to other destinations that don’t have entry requirements. Not the money. Not about COVID anymore. It’s about control. Gov loves control and looking like they are doing something. Especially sxm government. It’s all about Control. IMO Absolutely. It’s a money grab, not about safety. Just think about it. If you test negative, you are accepted entry. But if you have a cold or flu, come abroad! And if you have a false negative, it was just a waste of time and effort. The only value of vaccination is that people PERCEIVE that they are somehow less likely to get disease. It makes some feel better. But it doesn’t stop the spread. It only reduces the risk of death BUT at the risk of introducing other lifelong side effects. Here’s to going the ehas stuff is soon gone.
