  1. Vaccines don’t prevent covid…. testing is the much better choice here, but do 24-48 hours vs 72. Vaccinated people at still getting covid, and dying. So tests would be safer.

    1. Being vaccinated will greatly increase your chances of not being hospitalized and does reduce the rate of transmission. Misstatement of facts need to be challenged whenever and wherever they occur.

      1. Correct, they do reduce chances of hospitalisation and severe illness…. but I have personally known several people who have STILL contracted covid even with the jab…. 2 were extremely sick. Covid isn’t going anywhere…. we just need to learn to live with it now.

  2. I’m confused is the bill requiring the vaccine or vaccine or covid test? Your headline says vaccine yet further in the article it says proof of covid status? Are you required to get a covid test even is vaccinated? Or are you only required to get a test if not vaccinated? The way that the safe travels (to Hawaii) is currently set being implemented for all U.S. flights
    Just needing clarification.

    1. Hi Jessica.

      You’re right in that it is not clear. That issue remains to be clarified as it goes through Congress. We’ll update as soon as we learn morel

      Aloha.

    2. Dear Jessica, yes it sure is alot to keep up with! I’ve postponed my Oahu trip for the 3rd time for 2023. It has been my lifelong dream to come to Hawaii for my vacation & I’m looking very forward to the day when I’m sitting on 🛩! 🌈🌊🏝🩴🐠🐢🍍🥥👒🛍🏖🕶🌞🌺🌏 Take care of yourself & stay safe! God bless you….pslams 91:11😇

  3. How does one go about proving they are fully recovered from COVID?? Is there an antibody test?
    I am all for everyone having a negative COVID test prior to boarding the plane. The vaccinated can carry viral loads capable of infecting others, just as the unvaxxed and fullly recovered, and can themselves become infected with COVID after vaccination.

    1. There is a test on the market called T Detect…. it’s a T cell immunity test and runs about 225$ out of pocket. There is also a test for antibodies through LabCorp that’s about 40$. Personally I have done both, and I have T cell immunity and antibodies STILL 10 months post covid…. o have not been vaccinated yet…

      1. Sarah R… neither test is acceptable – at least I don’t recognize the “T Cell” test but I do know the antibody test is not accepted fir such as travel to Hawaii. Only NAAT tests are – a PRC test or a Rapid Redults tests which is a PRC tests done with expedite for $$$.

  4. And just what 64% of Americans are in favor of this nonsense? Does anybody on this site know anyone that was asked? Certainly the release of the tape showing 3 of the Pfizer scientists discussing how the human immune system works better than any vaccine is probably not even a part of the discussion now is it?

  5. I’m confused. The bill in in congress also allows a negative covid test so there won’t be a vaccination requirement. Or am I missing something??

  6. I hope all industries who participate in the this strong arm tactic fail big time. Bankrupt I hope The USA is no longer the land of the free. It’s truly a crying shame

    1. KAVIKA C… I don’t know why everyone thinks they have no more freedom! You are perfectly free to not get vaccinated or tested. It is your choice. But just as your child can’t attend school without being vaccinated for mumps, chicken pox, rubella, etc., you, as an adult, now have similar restriction. You can Choose not to be vaccinated but there are consequences!

      1. I can’t speak for every school district, but children in many districts can attend without being vaccinated. They just have to claim religious exemptions. No proof necessary.

  7. Aloha-Can you comment on what I have heard anecdotally that a decent percentage of Hawaii’s cases have come from unvaccinated locals traveling annd then returning and not quarantining? If so I will feel safer. Also, I am curious anout this in the pending bill “3. Are fully recovered from COVID” I don’t recall this beibg an option in the federal mandates recently started.

    thanks as always

    1. Hi Jon.

      Always good to hear from you. We don’t know/haven’t heard why the cases are declining. They are nationally, of course, and in all-important California, the largest source of Hawaii’s visitors. Yes recently recovered is a part of the bill in Congress, although not a part of federal mandates related to airline employees, as far as we know.

      Aloha.
