They actually are both at CDC Level 4. About 59 countries are in CDC Level 4 in fact.

Surely we can just look at their paper/electronic vaccine record - the same way that many other countries are accepting whatever record the traveler's country uses (CDC card for the US for example)?
Or if that's really a bridge too far, then still require a negative test for inbound UK/EU travelers regardless of vaccination status - as is the currently case for every non-banned country traveler - and for US citizens returning home. At least that would allow travel to resume.
