Incheon Airport Authorities Want to Do Away with PCR Testing for Arrivals

This would definitely make entering the country much easier and likely kickstart tourism again:

Incheon International Airport has requested the government to allow PCR test-free arrivals, as in-bound tourism is expected to return to pre-pandemic levels by the end of the year.

The Incheon International Airport Corporation (IIAC) announced during a press conference at the airport complex, Monday, that it has made a proposal to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to lift quarantine regulations by replacing mandatory PCR testing for arrivals with rapid antigen tests (RAT) or mandating testing only for those with symptoms or arriving from high-risk regions.

Under the current regulation of manual monitoring, all inbound passengers with full vaccination history must undergo a PCR test on the first day of their arrival and take a RAT test again within six to seven days after arrival. Those violating these requirements are subject to a maximum one-year prison term or 10 million won fine.

If introduced, the airport authorities said the PCR test exemption could help the nation’s tourism sector recover from the last two years of pandemic-driven economic losses.

Covid is over.

…until it isn’t.

Is the science settled? This is exhausting.

It seemed like before COVID real science was all about testing theories against additional research, experiments and quantifiable lab testing except for the PRC where it meant cloning western tech.

If you look at the same topic and compare the science before covid and the “science” after covid, you will see what is up.

“Scientists” and formerly credible journals have lost all legitimacy… with a good example being the group denial of covid coming from a lab while privately discussing the near-certainty it came from a lab.

Before covid, there was a long history of HCQ and Ivermectin being used commonly and safely… and good research showing it had anti-viral properties. After covid, it was fish tank cleaner and horse paste… a dangerous poison backed up by “research” where scientist gave lethal doses to terminal patients and kept a straight face while writing papers in the dangers of these toxins.

If you cannot clearly see what is happening or you are not a bit skeptical at the entire thing, you simply need your next booster.

Enjoy the August wave!

Come on now, CH… We want all the faithful devotees of Saint Fauci of Wuhan to be Safe and Effective and get an extra booster.

“If it saves even one life”, right?

And don’t forget to “Think of the children”…

CH, you obviously need a visit from the Department of Homeland Security disinformation governance board (real name sounds even more dystopian than the dystopian ministry of truth. whatever could go wrong?).

Hopefully, the workers at the Ministry of Disinformation Governance and Eradication got one of the bad batches.

Have we talked about how deaths cluster around certain batches of the vaccine?

A good explanation would be variation in manufacturing. A better explanation would be an intentional variation to verify theories on what formulation was best… or maybe to randomly generate data that would help create some theories.

Eventually, like dioxin and asbestos, it will be clear there is some sort of health danger associated with the vaccines. Perhaps media and politicians and the Ministry of Disinformation will be discredited.

Then again, there are people who belive global warming will cause catastrophic sea level rise because a man with a beachside mansion told them so.

These people clearly need a booster.
