USA does not have vaccine passport unlike UK/France/..., Though with delta variant things can change where countries can't get below 2-3 and vaccine passports aren't useful for sg

(ministers prefer origin countries to have 2-3 cases per 100k plus high vaccination rate, usa/france/Israel is at 10 now, UK at 65, Singapore at 0.9, hkg at 0.01)
