In many parts of the United States, the newly vaccinated are making summer vacation plans and reuniting with loved ones. According to the most recent data, 32.1% of Americans are fully vaccinated and 45% have received at least one dose.

The waiver is opposed by the US Chamber of Commerce and big pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.
A cross-party group of UK lawmakers has signed a statement calling for Prime Minister Boris Johnson, ministers, and senior civil servants to publish all email, text, and WhatsApp messages exchanged with pharmaceutical companies and their lobbyists. ....
