Keep it out (ie travellers and airline workers, there is no virus and we can afford to wait. Having said, I'm sure there some shenanigans going on in Europe with AZ vaccine suspension. More to it than meets the eye.[member=160]Gointocarlton[/member] COVID-19 is endemic, it's already here.
Canada and I think France did big studies on the effects of border controls and airline shutdowns, they showed that once the virus was endemic and spreading closing borders and shutting down flights made little difference. They found the biggest impact comes from widespread testing and quarantine, I presume by quarantine they mean effective quarantine, not just shipping your infected cases off to another state.

It's a fools confidence to think COVID-19 won't resurface while borders remain closed, it's already here, not vaccinating invites the next wave!
