GOP Senators urge Biden to implement a travel ban from China due to an ‘unknown respiratory illness
A Group of GOP Senators Urges President Biden to Ban Travel from China
A group of Republican senators is urging President Joe Biden to take immediate action and impose a travel ban on China due to the emergence of a new respiratory illness. Concerned about the spread of an unknown respiratory illness in the People’s Republic of China, senators Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, J.D. Vance, Tommy Tuberville, and Mike Braun have sent a letter to the White House, expressing their alarm.
“We call on you to immediately restrict travel between the United States and the PRC. As you know, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has a long history of lying about public health crises. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the CCP’s obfuscation of the truth, and lack of transparency, robbed the United States of vital knowledge about the disease and its origin,” the senators wrote.
The senators emphasize the need to avoid relying on China for accurate information about the disease, given the CCP’s history of dishonesty. They highlight the lack of transparency and truthfulness exhibited by the CCP during the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the United States being deprived of crucial information about the virus and its origins.
“At this moment, the world faces another unknown pathogen emanating from the PRC that could spread to other countries, including the United States. The PRC has reported an increase in this mystery illness — which it claims to be pneumonia caused by known pathogens — since mid-October,” the senators continued.
The senators express their concern about the potential global spread of this new illness originating from China. They highlight that the People’s Republic of China has reported a rise in cases of this mysterious illness, which they claim to be pneumonia caused by known pathogens, since mid-October.
“We should not wait for the WHO to take action given its track record of slavish deference to the CCP. We must take the necessary steps to protect the health of Americans, and our economy,” the letter says. “That means we should immediately restrict travel between the United States and the PRC until we know more about the dangers posed by this new illness. A ban on travel now could save our country from death, lockdowns, mandates, and further outbreaks later.”
The senators argue that waiting for the World Health Organization (WHO) to act is not advisable, considering its history of being excessively deferential to the CCP. They stress the importance of taking immediate measures to safeguard the health of Americans and the economy. They propose an immediate travel ban between the United States and the People’s Republic of China until more information about the risks posed by this new illness is obtained. They believe that implementing a travel ban now could potentially save the country from devastating consequences such as loss of life, lockdowns, mandates, and future outbreaks.
Reports from Northern China indicate a surge in flu-like illnesses since mid-October, with the public disease surveillance system ProMed issuing a warning about the spread of “undiagnosed pneumonia” in China. The ProMed report specifically highlights the high number of children falling ill with this disease.

What steps can President Biden take to collaborate with international partners in gathering accurate information about the illness and its origins
T the fact that the Chinese government has reported an increase in cases since mid-October, claiming it to be pneumonia caused by known pathogens. However, given the CCP’s history of dishonesty, the senators doubt the accuracy of this claim and urge President Biden to take immediate action to prevent the spread of the illness to the United States and other countries.
The letter from the senators suggests that a travel ban between the United States and China is necessary to protect the American people from the potential risks posed by this new respiratory illness. They argue that the CCP’s lack of transparency and truthfulness during the COVID-19 pandemic has already demonstrated the negative consequences of relying on China for accurate information. By imposing a travel ban, the senators believe that the United States can avoid a repeat of the situation where vital knowledge about a disease and its origin is withheld, hindering the country’s ability to respond effectively.
The senators also emphasize the importance of prioritizing the health and safety of the American people above any potential economic or political considerations. They argue that while a travel ban may have economic implications and strained diplomatic relations with China, these concerns should not outweigh the need to protect public health. The senators assert that the United States must learn from the past and act decisively to prevent the potential spread of this new illness, without relying on information from the CCP.
Furthermore, the senators call on President Biden to work with international partners to address this global health threat. They suggest collaborating with other countries to gather accurate information about the illness, its origins, and its potential impact. This collaborative approach would help to ensure a more effective response and allow for the global community to make informed decisions based on reliable data.
In conclusion, the group of Republican senators is urging President Biden to impose a travel ban on China due to the emergence of a new respiratory illness. They highlight the CCP’s history of dishonesty and lack of transparency, which has previously hindered efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The senators emphasize the need to prioritize the health and safety of the American people above any potential economic or political considerations. They also call for international collaboration to address this global health threat. By taking immediate action and imposing a travel ban, the senators assert that the United States can better protect its citizens and prevent the potential spread of this new illness.
