🧵 U Michigan Ann Arbor just announced all students living on campus Fall 23 must show proof of bivalent booster by May 15th.
Even if they’ve already gotten the original booster.
Even if they’ve already had covid.
Excuse me but…
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING @UMich?!?

We know vax and boosters don’t stop the spread.
We know students are at very low risk of severe disease or complications.
We know most students have immunity from previous infection.
We know most adults, when allowed to choose freely, ARE NOT GETTING THE BIVALENT BOOSTER.

So why force a shot on healthy students that the rest of the world barely even wants anymore?
Denmark, UK, and other countries no longer even offer vax/boosters to healthy young people.
Even in the US, thousands of colleges no longer require covid vax. Many never req’d.

. @UMich continues this futile attempt to “Stop the spread.” Come on, even the CDC agrees we can’t stop the spread.
It’s time to let go of this charade.
And even in an imaginary world where vax stops spread, it’s delusional to expect a shot given in May to protect in Fall.

And here’s the kicker…@UMich demands a 3rd/4th covid shot, but says it’s totes fine to skip traditional vax, just sign here!
I’m no fan of mandating any vax, but a university that thinks covid is riskier than say measles or polio is clearly incompetent at assessing risk.

Speaking of risk, we know covid vax/boosters have serious risks for young college students, particularly males. Myocarditis is not some conspiracy theory. The risk is real.
In fact, this analysis found college booster mandates unethical as the harms outweigh the benefit.

It’s maddening to see another “top university” doubling down on a coercive and senseless booster mandate. So we ask…
@UMich STOP HARMING STUDENTS!
You’ve ended the booster requirement at other branches. There is no valid logic to insist only Ann Arbor students get this 💉.
