You're shocked that they cancelled an event? You were calling for this stuff a year ago.

So what's changed? Should we not still cancel events?

I see you edited your post, but the vaccines have nothing to do with Biden.

Regarding required vaccines, Keep in mind its HIGHLY likely other countries will require it. Meaning US airlines, cruises, and companies will need to adapt. For example, if France requires it, Disney will have to develop proof of vaccine methods for DLP. These would then be methods they could use elsewhere around the world.

where did I say they have to do with Biden...?
They have to do with the brilliant minds at the companies who created them.

Funny you weren't didn't say this 5 months ago.
Disney won’t need to develop anything. Or not much.
France and/or the EU will develop a “passport” (likely linked to a centralized database). DLP will just be checking the France/EU passport.
They aren’t going to have every theme park, restaurant, museum, tourist destination devising their own system. It will be a centralized system. That’s what they are doing now in Israel.

When you were cheering on anti-vaxxer garbage?
DCL won't be sailing this year! Just like I said a year ago. Does that mean I don't want it to happen?
No, it means I READ THE DARN ROOM.

I can't believe we are getting to the point of almost being able to reopen and people are actually saying "I tHoUgHt YoU wAnTeD eVeRyThInG cLoSeD..."
Actually I can believe it.

maybe it'll be similar to how hotels check you in by scanning your passport in Europe.

Yes, it has. Things could be a lot better by July, but they really can't wait much longer to make the decision. My company was getting really frustrated because one of the regular trade shows we attend early in the year was dragging it's feat on whether go virtual or not. We just needed a decision so we could start planning accordingly.

Saying the Biden administration has done "nothing" related to vaccine rollout is a ridiculous as someone saying the Trump administration did "nothing" to get the vaccine developed. How much each has done can be debated, but it's clear they both did things to contribute to it.

This graph is very encouraging. A lot of things can skew the new case numbers so positivity can be a much better measure, and currently it is as about as low as it has been since the start of the pandemic.
And it’s clear that many others did much more.
On a government level, it wasn’t just the US. UK, EU, also heavily funded research. The Pfizer vaccine, the first to be approved in the US, was self-funded and funded by Germany, none of the research funding came from the US.
Within the US, Congress provided the actual funding.
Career scientists in the CDC and other institutions worked diligently.
The oft maligned pharmaceutical industry stepped up. And thousands of scientists in the private sector worked day and night.
Trump, his administration, and operation warp speed definitely get some of the credit for the vaccine development. It might have gone just as fast without Trump, but we don’t know. Biden and his administration definitely get some of the credit for the improving rollout. Whether it would have gone as well without Biden and his team, we also don’t know.
