Anime Expo 2022 to No Longer Require Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination or Negative Test

"The staff of the Anime Expo 2022 event revealed that attendees will no longer require attendees to show proof of vaccination for COVID-19 or a negative COVID-19 test taken 72 hours prior to attending the event. Regardless of vaccination status, masks will be required indoors (except in designated eating areas) and will be optional outdoors. Face coverings must fit snugly and properly, fully covering attendees' nose and mouth, and secure under the chin.

The staff notes that "these requirements and guidelines may be subject to change as more details emerge." The staff also states that "all guidelines and measures being put into place are driven by data provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).""

They reversed themselves, thank goodness for the people attending. The backlash was huge and immediate.

I had some great times covering A/X from the press side, but even by con standards it could be astonishingly ineptly run. I saw some shit go down, man...

Looks like they're reversing themselves again:

That’s what I meant when I said they reversed themselves.
