More than 520 of America’s 5,300 colleges and universities, approximately 10 percent, have announced students must be fully vaccinated against COVID before they return for fall classes. Among these institutions are the public universities of California and New York, pending full U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of the vaccines. Together, these two systems enroll approximately 1.5 million students.
Other state universities that have enacted vaccine “mandates” include the universities of Michigan and Maryland, as well as Indiana University. Scores of private institutions have also mandated COVID vaccines, including Yale, Stanford, Duke, Johns Hopkins, Cornell, Notre Dame, Emory, Brown, Syracuse, Boston University, and Princeton.
We think that these mandates are unethical, chiefly because they indiscriminately require administering an experimental biological agent in the setting of a clinical investigation to a population that is at greater risk of harm from the drug than from COVID. Our advice to schools that have not yet adopted vaccine mandates is: don’t.
But where participation in the investigational vaccination program is nevertheless required by university policies, there must be sensible, medically sound policies for granting medical exemptions.

Too often his doling out “the science” has felt like performance art. Still, the record is that Fauci and all his compatriots either downplayed or denied natural immunity for two years. That has been the source…
Many healthcare institutions are imposing mandates on staff for flu vaccinations, with penalties ranging from wearing masks throughout the workday (even for those with no cough or sneeze–which demonstrates the lack of scientific basis for this measure, since merely breathing on someone has never been demonstrated to transmit influenza) to blanket firings of employees who refuse to…
“Similar to previous findings conducted in hospital healthcare workers and nurses, we confirmed that the willingness of community nurses to accept influenza A (H1N1) vaccination is low. Future studies that evaluate interventions to address nurses’ specific concerns or interventions that aim to raise the awareness among nurses on the importance of influenza A (H1N1) vaccination…
Dear Secretary Okoronkwo, Attorney Smith and Dr. Saito, There is something else I would like you to provide to the Medical Board and the Pharmacy Board. One of my complex, high risk patients for serious or life-threatening Covid just got Covid. The patient and I wanted him treated with hydroxychloroquine. I reviewed his dozen or…
Potential vaccine recipients are very fortunate that Sheryl Gay Stolberg is still on this beat at the NY Times, after twenty years. Emergent BioSolutions is a biodefense boondoggle barely pretending to be a pharmaceutical firm. No one in their right mind would want to be injected with one of their products. A friend reminded me…
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/12/21/biden-omicron-speech-covid-testing-hospitals/ “For the Democratic Party, Biden’s message indicates a shift away from being the party associated with strict covid mitigation measures as vaccines are widely available and proven to work against the latest variant [???]. The change comes just before the start of a midterm election year in which Democrats are expected to face an uphill…
