What is the state of travel in 2022?

 
Despite the "TRAVEL" section produced by the venerable "grey lady" New York Times which is a "worldwide" examination of "eco-friendly climate & green" destination perfections with no indication as to whether "you" or "I" nobody plain folks person can travel there, I can't answer this most basic question about the "state of travel in 2022."  
Sadly I have to cast doubt on whether the global world's established news media want to let go of the "headline" grabbing COVID 19 latest variants, insofar as reporting on the spread of the latest version of this virus, and of course the "deaths" that many in the major news media don't mention.  As most of the persons who examine beyond "headlines" know, currently, COVID 19  with its many replications dogs large BMI individuals and those who have been kept alive due to the drugs they need to stay alive, which puts them at undue risk for catching this virus.
It doesn't  matter when you are okay re BMI with no morbidity, because "status" is what you lack. 
However, in some major Western European nations there is an acknowledgment that masks, restrictions of social distancing & even the vaccines don't help—the UK has just tossed away the "mask" mandate, but other nations are only hardening their demands for the so far 2 shots vaccine to travel into their country plus need for a vaccination card to prove immune status to eat and do all the things tourists love to do, despite that the current variant has afflicted the "double" vaxxed and the "booster" vaxxed. 
The question of travel into the nations of the world, even into some states in the US depends on the "status" of the individual who wants to get into that nation or state—the politicians and diplomats along with their staffs, the major news media staff and journalists are "immune" from any restrictions or investigation into their "vaccine status."  Those "out of the ordinary" wealthy persons can evade any "authority" and they travel where and when they please. 
I can say the ordinary traveler will remain uncertain about the "status of travel in 2022."   
Your travel depends upon whether you can go anywhere domestically or to another nation if you cannot prove your vaccine status which currently requires 2 shots, but this may change depending on far too many "powerful" elected authorities, who seem to be able to use their "rules"  for their benefit, but not for the plain folks, like you and I.
