WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) – COVID-19 vaccine or testing mandates for domestic travel remain “on the table” as far as the Biden administration is concerned, White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed Monday.
“The U.S. is now accepting fully vaccinated travelers from countries that were previously restricted during the pandemic. And given how rapidly the Delta variant spread here within the United States over the summer, why are there still no vaccine or testing requirements for domestic travel?” a reporter asked during the Monday press briefing.
“So, you know, we say this all the time: ‘Everything is on the table’,” Jean-Pierre answered. “We just don’t have any announcement to preview right now on this. So, I don’t have anything more to share on the domestic travel.”
The Daily Wire notes that White House COVID advisor Anthony Fauci has endorsed vaccine requirements for domestic air travel, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) has proposed legislation that would “require the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the Federal Aviation Administration, to develop national vaccination standards and procedures related to COVID-19 and domestic air travel.”
