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.
In a particularly Kafka-esque memorandum, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff wrote to Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt on September 23, 2008 and said bluntly that he had no evidence for an anthrax emergency… however, there exists a non-negligible risk there may someday be one, so feel free to invoke the…
Still no news about narcolepsy or any other specific adverse effects from the US and Canada, who used the most swine flu vaccines in 2009 and 2010. So much for claims that the US put into effect special monitoring programs for this vaccine! Ireland is finding increased narcolepsy cases in the vaccinated 4-19 age group…
Prepandemic vaccinations have been discussed for years, quietly, by the international flu elite. They were a “win-win” approach: the elite recommending them would be viewed as heroes when the pandemic came (just as our public health officials assumed that the patina of a Salk or Sabin would rub off on them for saving us from…
The full article in the BMJ is here. It simply confirms the same increased incidence in the UK as has been found elsewhere in countries that used Pandemrix, although initially it was said Scandinavians had very high rates of autoimmune disorders and were at higher risk than others. Given the up to 10 year interval…
The following discussion comes straight from consumerlab, which is a subscription service. This is the best information I have found for producing a washable, highly effective mask that can protect both the user and everyone else nearby–Meryl Here is their August 2020 update. Question: How can I make a mask that is as good as…
Today’s Washington Post headline reads “‘Swine flu’ strain returns; dramatic rise in deaths of young adults, children.” But the data do not bear this out. Swine flu isn’t really “back”– since 2009, it never left, but there are more cases this year than the last two, relative to other flu strains. After the 2009-10 swine…
