Hard to believe there's still colleges out there with vax mandates, but it's just (more) proof that none of the rules were ever about science or safety -- they're about COMPLIANCE. Reminds me of the Whit Merrifield vax story from a couple years ago:
Whit Merrifield is in better shape than me. (Shocker, I know) Whit Merrifield is younger than me. And Whit Merrifield makes his living with his body. All of these things point to him being in very very little danger of the virus, (I heard an interview very early in which he acknowledged this, but noted the team was worried about the health of fans) while an adverse reaction from the jab costs Whit Merrifield a lot more than it would cost most of us. Were I Whit Merrifield, I likely would make the same exact risk/reward calculation that he did.
A very worrying thing here: nobody’s saying that Whit is actually in danger from the virus. Nobody claims (anymore) that Whit getting the shot will stop him from spreading the virus. The ‘reward’ isn’t even health-related any longer — it’s completely about compliance to dumb rules that have never affected virus activity. Do what we say or you are not allowed to work here. We should all be uncomfortable with that.
