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.

Here is Politifact quoting me from the film Pandemic, which Politifact then disputed by citing a March 17, 2020 Nature Medicine article, which I had mentioned in the film as being bogus. Now, it seems, many have awakened, after being spoon-fed an analysis of the facts by Nicholas Wade, and realized the Nature Medicine paper makes…
Let’s start with tetanus, the disease we think of when scratched with something rusty or dirty, and develop an abscess. This is a terrible illness, because tetanus bacteria produce a nerve toxin that takes months to recover from. First, how much tetanus disease is there is the US? Second, does it spread from person-to-person? There are…
I wrote an important 4400 word discussion of the new COVID boosters. The Defender published it last evening, but left off the last 1.5 pages by mistake. I am having trouble transferring the images to blogger (here). So I suggest you go read it at Substack to get the complete experience. ; ] https://merylnass.substack.com/p/the-high-speed-bivalent-covid-boosters
