Must I Forever Be Stabbed in the Head to Travel?

Transcript of the above video:

I am not trying to be particularly funny in this particular video but I really have been asking myself the question: "Is this is this being "stabbed in the head"; these PCR tests where they take a swab and essentially loosen your brain by going in there and swabbing out your upper sinuses, whatever you want to call it; obviously I am a lay person when it comes to medical stuff but it can only be described as being stabbed in the head. Is this going to go on in perpetuity? I mean are we going to have to do this forever just to travel?” 

The reason I ask is there seems to be a lot of things that just 2 years ago would have been considered anathema, to be on the pale, that are becoming somewhat, and I stress somewhat, because I do think that there are people critically thinking both inside and outside of Governments around the world. This really is a video that is about just international travel generally. I am not pointing out America or Thailand or anybody else but the question I think is still valid is: "Are we going to have to be dealing with this in perpetuity?" and then the next question is and we have crunched all the numbers on this and I am not going to get into all of that but I seriously question whether this is necessary based against the "threat" that this causes. Is the cost benefit of constantly stabbing everyone in the head and really putting people through a pretty uncomfortable time just to get on a plane and go somewhere? I mean is this what we are going to do from now on? Because quite frankly, I don't want to live in a world where that is the case and I don't think people are really critically thinking right now about this, and there is always kind of this phase when things change where certain things fall by the wayside and certain things just sometimes get accepted. I have got to say I just think the whole notion that you need to be medically tested in order to travel; yeah okay, under certain circumstances I can understand it. Back in the first couple of months of this whole thing where we didn't know what this was, to me I could at least understand the argument. But now where it is pretty darn clear that this isn't the Black Death, this isn't the Plague, do we really need to continue doing this? I am not posing this to be funny; I am not posing it to be snarky, I am genuinely asking the question: How much longer is this going to go on?
