Well @Harvard just announced that student mandates for flu and C19 will remain in effect for fall 2024. Faculty & staff have no such systemwide mandates.
Noncompliance will affect ability to register for spring classes so get your vaccines “as soon as possible.”
C19 boosters are not required if student shows proof of primary series. Flu vaccines are required yearly on or after 7/1/2024. I repeat-many faculty and staff do not have these same requirements; it is dept dependent. These policies are discriminatory and unscientific.
I’ve repeatedly stated students must refuse to comply but I feel like I’m yelling into a void unless we can break their alliance to tribe over truth.

Good morning @RobertKennedyJr and @DrJBhattacharya The majority of healthcare students in the US are still required to take updated C19 shots by partner medical centers to complete rotations. This mandate has not applied to the faculty/staff that teach these students since the CMS mandate ended in August 2023.
We need someone to immediately champion this effort on behalf of these students who are some of the only people in the US still being coerced to take these shots. Most students are not willing to give up their degrees nor should they have to so most comply. Some get exemptions but it’s very difficult to get these approved.
Why should these students be coerced to comply? Or give up on their dream profession if they don’t comply? Or move out of state (if they can afford it) to find a facility that respects their medical freedom? It is discriminatory, unethical and immoral to continue this coercion. The partners know this but no one is challenging them so the policies continue.
Colleges announced COVID vaccine mandates in spring of 2021 and forced compliance by fall of 2021.
Every single college that mandated stated they were following CDC recommendations.
Yet the CDC KNEW in January 2021 that the vaccines didn’t prevent infection or transmission.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Hundreds of thousands of colleges students were forced to take experimental shots based on CDC lies that taking such shots was the best way to “protect the community”.
Aside from the obvious fact that public health must be dismantled and rebuilt, NOT ONE institution that imposed mandates had justification for the imposition of such mandates and should be held liable for false promises and damages. (3)
