WHO argues coronavirus passports "not be required" for international travel​

This just in from Reuters:
The World Health Organisation’s Emergency Committee recommended on Monday that proof of vaccination not be required as a condition of international travel, maintaining its stance on the issue under growing debate.
The independent experts, in a statement issued after meeting last Thursday, cited limited evidence on whether vaccination against COVID-19 reduces people’s ability to transmit the virus and “the persistent inequity in global vaccine distribution”.
States should recognise that requiring proof of vaccination deepens inequities and promotes unequal freedom of movement, the panel said.

Just because WHO argues against it doesn't mean all or even most countries will follow their advice. Plenty of closed or severely restricted borders remain, notably AU, NZ and the Canada/US crossing.

I'm not arguing in either direction, just saying the WHO and CDC will have very limited say on how this will play out.

Why? So far they have pretty well "dictated" policy as countries have followed their "guidance." In the US the CDC "guidance" has been followed to the detriment of all sectors of society.
 
We'll see how it plays out. I don't see Australia or New Zealand allowing all comers into their countries.

No idea what the US will do. Time will tell.
