Per the University of Chicago’s newly announced booster mandate, all students and employees must obtain a booster shot by January 24. Those who do not comply will be barred from campus and restricted from attending in-person classes, among other activities.
This booster mandate is demonstrably unsafe, ineffective, unnecessary, inconsistent, and unethical. We’ve struggled beneath UChicago’s draconian COVID decrees for years, but the university’s booster mandate reaches a new height of absurdity.
UChicago Demands We Submit to Experimental Shots
UChicago claims to rely upon “expert” opinion in structuring its COVID regime. Yet, even advisory committees at the FDA and CDC initially declined to recommend the COVID booster for those under the age of 65.
The FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee made an official recommendation to approve Pfizer’s application for boosters only for those 65 and older and certain high-risk populations after rejecting, in a 16-2 vote, Pfizer’s application for broader approval for the general population. The committee cited a lack of data on potential adverse effects, particularly the risks of developing myocarditis and pericarditis.
However, the FDA chose to cast aside this concern and granted “approval” anyways. But even this “approval” is itself questionable. The FDA only granted approval to Comirnaty, a legally distinct version of the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine that isn’t actually available in the United States. The version of the vaccine currently available in the US remains under Emergency Use Authorization, not formal approval.
Similarly, the CDC’s initial recommendation that Americans under the age of 65 receive boosters was made against the counsel of its own Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which voted to recommend boosters only for those over the age of 65 or who have underlying conditions. Director Rochelle Walensky overruled this vote in an unusual departure from agency protocol. The committee later reversed course, recommending a booster for 12-17 year olds. But the calculus behind its sudden 180-degree turn remains unclear, given that the initial concerns regarding myocarditis and pericarditis remain unresolved.
Vaccine-induced heart issues merit legitimate concern, especially for young males. A recent Danish study found that “pharmacovigilance reports, health system surveillance studies, and case series suggest an association between SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and myocarditis and myopericarditis. This association is thought to occur particularly after the second booster dose of mRNA vaccines BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) and mRNA-1273 (Moderna).” An analysis published in the New England Journal of Medicine reached similar conclusions, particularly in males between the ages of 12 and 29.
Meanwhile, a new study published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology found a positive association between COVID vaccination and increased menstrual cycle length.
According to Diana Bianchi, director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, “Nobody expected [the COVID vaccine] to affect the menstrual system, because the information wasn’t being collected in the early vaccine studies.” The study’s authors note that “questions remain about other possible changes in menstrual cycles, such as menstrual symptoms, unscheduled bleeding, and changes in the quality and quantity of menstrual bleeding.”
Ironically, despite the speed with which the vaccine and booster have been infallibly declared “safe and effective” in disregard for potential long-term risks, the FDA is in no such rush to release its data on the vaccine.
According to the FDA’s statement on expanding eligibility for boosters to individuals 18 years of age and older, “Both Pfizer and Moderna are conducting post-authorization/post-marketing studies to assess known serious risks of myocarditis and pericarditis.” However, a post-authorization study is useless if everyone has already been boosted 50 times by the time the study is complete.
The Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency (PHMPT) filed a formal request to the FDA for the expedited release of all data on the Pfizer vaccine under the Freedom of Information Act. Members of PHMPT include well-established professors in the relevant fields from Yale, Brown, University of Maryland, UCLA, and other universities. The FDA denied this request, arguing the absence of a “compelling need.”
In fact, the FDA requested that a federal judge grant it until the year 2076 to release Pfizer’s data on the COVID vaccine, before it was recently ordered to release it all in eight months.
Despite the lack of transparency, and the booster’s observed and potential adverse health effects, UChicago forces its students and employees to accept its cost-benefit analysis: that the booster is “preferable” to the risk of contracting COVID while unboosted. In so doing, our anti-science university unsafely denies us the right to evaluate the cost-benefit analysis for ourselves.
Don’t Be Fooled! It’s Not Just One More Jab
If being “boosted” becomes a prerequisite for participation in normal life, the vaccine’s diminishing efficacy means the booster campaign will never end.
Comprehensive evidence suggests that the level of vaccination does not have a positive influence on lowering COVID cases. On these very lines, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky contended in August that vaccines no longer prevent transmission, despite confident promises she and many of her fellow “experts” previously made to the contrary.
Moreover, the original vaccine regime has proven ineffective over time, with another Israeli study showing that effectiveness declined from 95% in January to a mere 39% in June.
When first introduced, the boosters were posited as a way to rebuild the vaccine’s effectiveness. Yet, the COVID booster contains the same formula as the original, ineffective vaccinations, which means it, too, loses efficacy.
To this point, Cornell, which currently has both a mask and vaccine requirement, and a 97% on-campus vaccination rate, recently experienced a surge of COVID cases. In response, the administration declared an “Alert Level Red” zone, moved exams online, and shut down the campus. Out of the 930 confirmed cases, “Virtually every case of the Omicron variant to date has been found in fully vaccinated students, a portion of whom had also received a booster shot,” Vice President for University Relations Joel Malina stated.
If UChicago is planning to mandate recurring boosters (which is the only logical conclusion of its present decrees), then it should just own up and admit it immediately, rather than continue to deceive students with the false impression that these measures are temporary.
We Will Not Play Pretend—COVID Is Not the Plague
Mandates for the COVID vaccine and booster are unnecessary to protect the health of the UChicago community.
COVID has a survival rate of over 99.87% for individuals under the age of 65.
According to the CDC, only 5% of “COVID deaths” are solely attributable to COVID as the cause. The other 95% of “COVID deaths” involve, on average, almost 4 additional conditions (comorbidities) or causes per death.
We will not play pretend by accepting our university’s gross exaggerations of the public health risks of catching and transmitting COVID. We will not live in fear.
UChicago Ignores Natural Immunity
If slowing the spread of this glorified flu were the goal, UChicago would recognize natural immunity as a robust protection against reinfection—but it doesn’t.
As it stands, UChicago’s vaccine requirement cannot be satisfied with proof of T-cell immunity or a positive antibody or antigen test. This is unreasonable, as those who have been vaccinated not only have increased risk for infection, but an increased risk for symptomatic infection, in comparison to those possessing natural immunity.
This is made clear by a recent Israeli study, which “demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity.”
UChicago’s continued refusal to acknowledge natural immunity leads to only one conclusion: our university does not care about science, but only uses “science” as a guise for mandating recurring injections.
No, You Didn’t Misread: Doctors and Scientists Are Exempt (Read the Fine Print)
The Chicago Thinker recently confirmed that the university exempts University of Chicago Medical Center (UCMC) employees from the booster mandate, precisely because a significant number of doctors will resign if forced to get the jab. The university admitted to the Thinker that its UCMC exemption is an attempt to maintain medical staff, since presumably a significant number of UCMC’s 9,000-plus employees will resign if beholden to a booster mandate.
UChicago also exempts clinically active faculty and staff within its Biological Sciences Division (BSD) from its booster mandate, presumably for the same reason.
The lessons here are manifold.
First, UChicago is much less immune to protest than it pretends. If we speak out loudly now, we might just accomplish something.
Second, “the science” isn’t what the university claims and it’s actually bad business to pretend otherwise.
Consider that the UCMC’s total staff is larger than the total undergraduate population at UChicago. If our university truly believes the COVID booster is necessary to save lives, why are UCMC staff—who are arguably most at risk for catching and spreading the coronavirus—exempt from the booster mandate? The answer is clear: even the university itself doesn’t believe “the risks” posed by un-boostered employees outweigh the costs of losing crucial personnel.
Rather than allow all UChicago community members to engage in a cost-benefit analysis of our own, the university deceptively exploits tuition payers, in addition to countless employees, by forcing us to get the booster. Meanwhile, UChicago’s world-renowned medical health professionals and scientists get to live quietly by a different set of rules.
Moreover, the UCMC and BSD include some of the country’s top doctors and scientists, including experts in immunology. Take that in: Those who know the most about the booster are refusing to get it. What do these experts know about the booster that we don’t? And if they’re refusing to inject themselves with the booster, how is it remotely ethical to force us to inject ourselves? It’s not.
UChicago’s COVID caste system prioritizes the health and freedoms of a chosen few, while trampling on the rest. University instructors and tenured faculty members, University of Chicago police officers, dining hall workers, and twenty-something-year-old college students are all being coerced into getting the booster, but not doctors and select, “special” scientists.
Obviously, we need instructors in order to learn. Three UChicago community members were shot to death in Chicago in 2021 alone, so, clearly, we also need police officers to defend our community. Yet, by imposing such a discriminatory mandate, our university wrongly suggests some lives are more valuable than others. Or, at the very least, it shows it cares more about maintaining doctors and select scientists than professors and police officers, among others.
To be clear, we’re not calling for the UCMC and BSD to implement a booster requirement, but we do condemn UChicago for unethically discriminating against its employees and students. We’d expect such behavior from a Soviet committee, not a prestigious university purportedly dedicated to the production of knowledge in a free country.
This Isn’t Just Bad Science—It’s Also Wildly Unethical
UChicago directly violates established medical ethics by coercing its community members into experimental vaccination.
Free and informed consent is a precondition for all medical treatments and procedures, including vaccination. For consent to be truly informed, the potential recipient must be proactively informed of all the observable and potential risks, side-effects, and dangers. And for consent to be truly free, the potential recipient must be made aware of all options, including the option to freely decline. Most importantly, this decision must be free of coercion, pressure, or threat of punishment.
For the first time in history, universities like our own are requiring experimental vaccination as a condition of attendance and employment.
The university’s threat of expulsion constitutes unjustifiable pressure, especially considering the vaccine’s experimental nature; this absolutely qualifies as an element of “duress,” “overreaching,” and “coercion.”
To make matters worse, we find ourselves in a position where those who wish to infringe upon our bodily autonomy have relieved themselves of the responsibility of even having to prove their scientific assertions. Instead, they’ve shifted the burden of proof onto us; we must conclusively demonstrate why their hypochondriacal impositions do not make sense, which is a total inversion of the normal process of scientific inquiry.
Rather than allow us to engage in the intimately personal and inherently subjective process of making our own risk-assessments concerning these novel injections, UChicago refuses to allow us to freely consent or decline. Instead, it treats us like lab rats.
The yes-men will try to interject that we can all apply for exemptions and disenroll from UChicago if denied, but this counterargument is as immoral as it is lousy.
First, universities across the country, including UChicago, have consistently announced their new COVID policies on a whim—not even leaving students the time or ability to create contingency plans. Second, choosing a college isn’t a game of plug-and-play. It’s a process that entails a significant investment of hard work, time, financial resources, and effort to find the right match.
To tell a student who has invested two or three years of hard work and over $100,000 in tuition to attend UChicago that he must suddenly find a way to transfer to a school in a different state—a school that might not even be able to properly accommodate his specific academic interests and career track—in the middle of his winter quarter is ludicrous.
UChicago’s Booster Mandate Doesn’t End the Hysteria—It Enshrines It
For the past two academic years, we’ve endured mandatory weekly invasive COVID testing; a laundry list of restrictions on movement and socialization enforced by a suffocating surveillance-and-reporting apparatus; needless quarantines in dorm rooms, even after testing negative; lackluster online classes; barred access to countless campus amenities and resources, including libraries and gyms; and, now, vaccine and booster requirements with limited exemptions, all while footing the same $60,000+ in annual tuition.
We went along with these initial edicts for convenience’s sake, perhaps contending that compliance in the short term would mean a long-term return to normalcy.
We rationalized that after bearing one year of Zoom classes to “slow the spread,” we’d finally be able to enjoy the state-of-the-art research facilities, nerdy camaraderie, and beautiful campus we were attracted to when we first applied to UChicago.
If we got the vaccine, we thought we’d finally be able to take off our masks and breathe, sit in a classroom with our friends, hang out in our dorms, and go to parties.
Those who thought we’d be free to enjoy the normal college experience we so desperately wanted if we just got the first two vaccine doses were completely wrong. This isn’t over. It’s only just begun.
We’ve become lab rats in a perpetual war against a glorified flu—and there’s no end in sight. UChicago continues to defy scientific and moral standards, dehumanizing us in the process.
Clearly, this is not about saving lives. It’s about control. We will not be controlled.
Our demands are as follows:
1. We demand that the University of Chicago withdraw its unsafe, ineffective, unnecessary, inconsistent, and unethical vaccine and booster mandates.
2. We demand that the university name those responsible for creating and implementing its COVID decrees, especially with regards to vaccination. We also demand it name those responsible for reviewing and approving both medical and religious exemptions to vaccine and booster mandates.
3. We demand that the university make a public statement to all community members explaining why UCMC staff and BSD personnel are not required to receive boosters, but students and other university employees are.
4. Lastly, we call on all members of our university community to fight back. This mandate is wrong. Do not allow University President Paul Alivisatos’s administration to pretend otherwise.

Just backup info on the dramatic decline in effectiveness of vaccines against omicron. Little gained by boosting and UChicago age group prime ages for myocarditis, pericarditis. You cannot control infection or transmission of omicron with the vaccines, though you can mitigate serious illness, hospitalization and death especially in patients with co-morbidities.

That’s called TREATMENT, not VACCINE. A government, college, your neighbor ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT have authority to determine and MANDATE how you and your doctor TREAT an illness. MARXISM otherwise.
The DS may have tried to indoctrinate our kids, but guess what – many of our children know how to think for themselves and are not sheeple. We DO have a worthwhile upcoming generation that will be for America first!!! You know these kids have been doing some research 0n this so-called ”vaccine” and they have seen the deaths of many people who have taken it. They have seen healthy athletes dying worldwide after taking the jab. They have seen the censoring of the doctors and the scientists advocating against taking this bad vaccine. They have seen the censoring the people who took the jab and been physically damaged by it. When a government tries to insist that all the people get it or be punished if they don’t – you KNOW there is something wrong!! We are a free people and should be allowed to make our own decisions. Whatever happened to the DS motto “My body – my choice”? Or is that only for disposing of the unwanted unborn or newborn?
Who told you that the “vaccines” mitigate serious illness? Oh yea, the exact same people that told you the “vaccines” stop you form getting the disease in the first place.
I’m extremely skeptical of mass vaccination and dead against any and all mandates of this nature. That being said there does seem to be all sorts of evidence the vaccines can reduce severity. Don’t be like the people pushing vaccines. It’s not black & white. Some people probably should consider vaccination if they have comorbidities. People who do not fall into any of the vulnerable categories should not be forced to boost or even vaccinate. No one should be forced.
The response to this has been a clown show. Instead of marshaling resources and spending them where they return the most benefit we are wildly throwing money and mandates in a one-size-fits-all manner with the ludicrous notion we can stop it. A coronavirus. Similar to some cold viruses. Which we haven’t figured out how to eliminate. Over hundreds of years…
Sorry, Joe, but the “evidence” that the vaccines can reduce severity is completely subjective. There is absolutely no way to prove that someone “would have been sicker” had they not gotten the vaccine. Remember, a true vaccine would prevent you from getting infected at all. To say that it “kept you from getting sicker, or dying” is a completely specious argument.
Right on, Lynn, as we used to shout back in the day when we college students were actively calling BS on the U.S. crime against the people of Viet Nam. I’m so proud of the students of UC for rising up and demanding change. Always question authority. Never acquiesce to the specious effluvium created by those who protect and maintain their power with lies and deceit. We now realize most of what we’ve been told about Covid is manufactured solely to control the masses, perpetuate the lie, and is, in your cogent use of the word, unabashedly specious.
Absolutely brilliantly written! I hope that students at other higher learning institutions have the courage to use this as a model for similar attempts to protest. These administrations need to be held accountable or at least held to transparency. What amazing hypocrisy demonstrated by the different requirement for the students/staff versus the UCMC.
Prevent covid with Vit D3, 10000 units/day; Vit C, 3 gm/day; zinc, 50 mg/day. Ivermectin, a repurposed med used to de-worm horses kills covid. “Ivermectin” taken 50mg on day one then again on day 3 wipes out covid in 5 days=all better. Go to the animal feed store to get it. Caution though, wife got covid, if you’re taking lots of meds daily don’t go into unventilated rooms full of people. Lots of meds daily depress the immune system. Read “Virus Mania” (Jan 2021.)
That’s a bit heavy on the supps. This is my program since the beginning.
D3 – 4000 iu + K2-MK7 100 mg
Zinc Balance – 15 mg Zinc 1 mg copper. Take copper with zinc. Research why.
Quercetin Bromelain – Zinc ionophore
C – 1000 mg
If I feel myself even slightly coming down with something I double it for a week.
For added bonus look into 100% unsweetened cocao. It is loaded with zinc, copper, magnesium and selenium.
None of this is going to prevent COVID, however it will fine-tune/optimize both innate and adaptive immune systems.
That 50 mg Zinc is way high and especially if taken on a continual basis and without copper.
Covid prevention protocols and info on how to find a dr to prescribe and a pharmacy to fulfill can be found on website FLCCC.net. Info there from top infectious disease experts in US.
Iver mectin comes in human and animal versions. I don’t know the differences nor whether they are important. But in my reading, dosing of it is done fairly precisely based on a person’s weight. Easily found on the internet, proper dosing is apparently something to research and get right.
It is dangerous to take Ivermectin meant for animals. Find a doctor willing to prescribe Ivermectin for humans. If you can’t find one, just take 500mg of quercetin per day with your zinc. Zinc in high doses is dangerous as it lowers copper levels. Make sure your Zinc has copper in it.
The animal form of ivermectin is only dangerous if you can’t properly do the math to determine your dose based on your weight.
I recommend this site for information about early treatment (including where to find telehealth providers willing to prescribe ivermectin and other medications): https://covid19criticalcare.com
Kudos to the editorial board of The Chicago Thinker! Your arguments are excellent, based in science and extraordinarily expressed. I support your efforts 1000%. Do not comply!
You cannot prove that the vaccine lessens the severity or death rate of people even without comorbidities. My friends healthy brother was vaxed, no comorbidities and died of Covid. Her son-in-law‘s whole family went to Las Vegas over Christmas for a family reunion. Every one of the vaxed people got Covid and all the unvaxxed did not.
I keep seeing the claim that vaccination mitigates severity of symptoms. Based on what RCT? It’s certainly a laughable claim based on the statistically zero number of “severe” cases in the initial Pfizer trial that the FDA examiners were either too ill-educated to be able to read, or who were complicit in promoting a narrative (www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2034577). The CDC’s subsequent cooked books “studies” cannot claim greater symptom mitigation in the vaxxed versus the unvaxxed, since there’s no way to know how many unvaxxed convalesced undiagnosed at home and were not included in hospital system comparisons. So it is a questionable vaccine with a limited window of (presumed) efficacy based on creative RR statistical analysis, and it cannot even be considered a treatment since it is not and cannot be compared to the unvaxxed who convalesced outside hospital systems.
Simply not worth it! A vaccine with side effects and one that does not work rather simply mitigates symptoms. A healthy young adult should never be forced to get this experimental and yet unproven [long term side effect] drug.
We are not in communist Cuba or Venezuela! Stop this nonsense.
👏👏👏👏👏FINALLY!!!🥳🥳 Excellent writing!! You guys nailed it!! Now, go get your freedom back!!!
Do you have scientific evidence that those vaccinated/boosted, can, “…mitigate serious illness, hospitalization and death…”. How does one know what levels of infection, seriousness, likelihood of hospitalization or death one would experience. This is simply an echo of statements thrown out without any scientific backup. Stop being easily led sheep and question statement of “facts” which are not facts. Determine what science and evidence is behind the statements.
It’s refreshing to see students able to think for themselves, unlike most of the campus. Everyone needs to stand together on this one in order to preserve what’s left of our basic rights. It will not end here. Keep up the good work.
BRAVO!! I’ve been waiting two years to read something like this. I was beginning to fear that independent critical thought had disappeared from our universities. I would be very proud indeed if my son or daughter had played a role in creating this clear, well-documented and extremely well-written declaration. Thank you to everyone involved – you are an inspiration to us all.

Well said. This editorial is spot on. Looks like school newspapers are maintaining the example of what a free press looks like. Great job.
touch grass
It’s great to see liberal professors finally wising up to the power grabing, medical tyranny, Covid-1984 scam. thank you. please persuade other liberal university professors to help stop this nonsense.
Absolutely brilliant. As you note, the emperor has no clothes, and it’s well-overdue that somebody say so. Many thanks for writing this. I hope the faculty and administrators at your university (and elsewhere) come to their senses.
Finally, critical thinking at work! This clear refutation of baseless mandates gives me faith that America has a chance of surviving. As a parent of a college student who suffered a stifling first year at Purdue, I understand the distress the pandemic has caused this generation. Decision makers at Chicago and others don’t seem to care whatsoever about the students’ futures and the poor return on investment they have precipitated by not truly considering the science. Universities, especially the higher ranked ones, are banking on the fact that students won’t and can’t switch schools. The college admissions process is daunting the first time around. Who wants to go through the process of transferring? Our son made the decision to do so but it’s been very difficult and we are still unclear as to the outcome. That said, his bodily autonomy and a desire to have greater confidence that classes will not go virtual for $60K a year make it worth it.
I completely support and agree with your conclusions in this editorial.. what thinking American wouldn’t? I say American only because much of the citizens of other countries are not so lucky as to have their individual liberties protected by a Bill of Rights and Constitution. Although these day legislators are handing over responsibility for their jobs to unelected panels and bureaocracrats who disrespect and disregard our Constitutional rights. Your doing the right thing young men and women.. stay the course or risk further erosion of the rights your forebears fought for.
Some very valuable information here on Religious exemptions and how to properly fill out the forms etc. This is from an educator (Peggy Hall) to whom many attorneys go to understand the law on this subject. https://www.thehealthyamerican.org/religious-exemptions
Fantastic article. We’ll written and well researched.
UChicago stop ignoring important data and facts – move forward!
AFAIK, all C-19 Vaccine mandates are illegal for the following reasons:
1. All C-19 vaccines available in the US are only under EUA & are by definition experimental treatments.
2. US Law & Nuremberg Codes prohibit forcing anyone to undergo experimental treatments w/o informed consent.
3. US Laws & Nuremberg Codes disallow any change in status (e.g. firing, expulsion, extra charges) for refusing to participate in experimental treatment.
4. Nuremberg Code prohibits the use of any medical treatment that has not successfully passed animal trials. No C-19 vaccine has done so.
5. EUA’s can ONLY be issued/valid if there are NO other available treatments. The Fed. Gov’t is now distributing monoclonal antibodies as COVID-19 treatment. This renders currently issued EUA’s invalid.
Requiring a C-19 vaccine, or firing someone for not taking one, is a violation of human rights and of US Civil rights.
University students and parents across the US, assume rational counter-party actors in administration: university administration, management, advisors and governance, are not coherent, rational actors. Negotiation channels with them are closed unless by alternative, agency formalities. https://www.dissidentprof.com/8-home/169-why-are-universities-pushing-covid-vaccination. ’96, Booth
Strong article. I’m an undergrad at a school in Boston (yeah lol), and I’ve faked all my vaccine records. Planning on doing the same for the booster. Would be nice to see a policy change but using photoshop till then.
ew imagine going to harvard
filler
Well stated, well researched. I applaud your voice and your courage to stand up to these uninformed, propagandized academic bureaucrats who, in Chicago, and nationwide, are waging war on our youth.
America fought the Nazis to end experimentations on humans. From that came the Nuremberg code.
That prevents ANY coercion to be subject to medical experimentations.
We now know those injections do nothing to prevent transmission. Thereby nullifying the claims that they are vaccines.
And therefore there is no need, medically to subject forcefully entire populations to them.
The risks of those injections are severe and the long term risks are unknown.
Stop the madness. Respect human rights.
The vaccines’ failure to prevent transmission makes them useless for purposes of public health. The injections provide (limited) protection only to the vaccinated, and not to others, making vaccination a matter of personal, not public, health.
No need to mangle history to make a point. We fought the Nazis because Germany declared war on us AFTER we declared war on Japan. Also the war in Europe wasn’t about preventing medical experimentation. It wasn’t even about preventing genocide. Sure, that all came out afterward. Europe went to war because Germany invaded all its neighbors.
When you distort to make your point your point is devalued.
it is up to almost 400,000 deaths from the jab. 33 printed pages of athletes that have died from it.. the animals they tested it on died, some in the first 24 hrs, and rest within the week.. it does not prevent you from getting the flu, and the vaxxed are spreading it to the unvaxxed very sad for sure..
Excellent journalism, keep it up. You need to explore the destruction of immunity that occurs with repetitive inoculations. The knowledge of this stretches back into basic animal studies, but the folks at DailyExpose.uk have explored the PHS data which signals this as well. Point your fellow students to the interviews by Michael Yeadon, PhD, former Pfizer UK Chief Respiratory Scientist by Reiner Fuellmich on Odyesee and Del Bigtree on the Highwire. He explains all, including that he and colleagues have created an app: ‘How Bad is my Batch’. Look it up to find out how many serious adverse events are related to a given lot. The strength of people your age must be added to that of grey haired folks, in order for significant change to occur. Your work is admirable.
Carol, I agree with your recommendations on Yeadon and others. Geert Vanden Bossche is another fantastic resource. But your last comment is the most important and that is, we need our youth and this next batch of college-educated young people to stand up, speak up, and fight back. There is power in numbers and even though many of us have been saying the same things for the past 1-2 years now, this movement will only catch fire when the university kids join us.
Absolutely! and Amen! They have more power than they realize over these institutions that are there to serve their development (in addition to acquire research funds from the NIH).
I love that as hard as universities are trying to brainwash you to the left, you allow your common sense and critical thinking skills prevail! Keep up the great work! This unvaccinated high school teacher- warrior stands with you, we need to protect our body autonomy and civil rights against tyrannyi!
You need also to address this to the Board of Trustees and remind them, until they capitulate, that they will ultimately be the ones bearing the legal reprecussions of any such mandate, especially if there are any “vaccine accidents”, i.e. unexpected death. The manufacturers are not liable; the regulator bears no responsibility as it’s not yet approved, nor recommended, ; thus the students who did it to comply with the school’s mandate will have recourse to the Trustees, who will bear personal liability for that.
It will clarify their thinking.
Proud of the authors. I specialize in data, analysis, developing solutions. It appalls me when people make mandates & requirements antithetical to actual evidence.
Your point re: menstruation/reproductive health, side effects & the heart: A young woman gave birth to twins. Tragically they died of heart issues w/in days of each other 7 mth post- birth. Their mother agreed to take that untested shot (not vaccines since they do not create immunity) the day b4 their birth as the government assured her it was not only safe, but BETTER for her soon to be born babies. Both babies died within days of each other; they had been breast fed. (So double entry?) There are so many reports of these shots causing damage to young people (especially boys) hearts; this is proven fact.
? Correlation in this case? I do not know but I SURE AS HELL WOULD NOT RISK my life, future, health or that of my children til I could be as certain as humanly possible that there is NOT a correlation
Well written! Someone FORCING something into my body AGAINST MY WILL – This is my definition fo RAPE!
Well written! Someone FORCING something into my body AGAINST MY WILL – This is my definition of RAPE!
I am so impressed by this piece. My family is all vaccinated, older people (me) boosted. But I am worried about boosters in younger ones, specifically college-aged sons. One is waiting to hear on application to U Chicago. Reading this was like finding an oasis of sanity, thanks to young smart people. You give me hope.
I am a UChicago faculty and I completely agree with you. But it’s not clear to me how much effect this letter will have. Would you consider starting an online petition that UChicago students and faculty can sign? If it gets enough support maybe something will change…
Dozens of universities have petitions that have been circulated in the recent weeks. To my knowledge, the administrations at all of these schools that have been presented them have denied them.
Then get all those who support your views to show up on campus and protest the Board of Trustees. Make a lot of noise, demand that they meet with you and listen to your concerns. Do not stop until you get what you demand: stop the mandates and hold all involved accountable. Get the law students to join you, you need their help.
I’m surprised so many students just went along with the vaccines… You should have all quit in mass.
We all have lost 2 years of our lives to these insane measures. How many more years are we letting them steal from us?
At a time when I have never been more disappointed in the American university system, the student(s) who authored this have made my day! My father chose The University of Chicago for his masters (over some school in Boston). That was more than 50 yrs. ago. The school continues to ask for money. My father has since passed. My son is now deciding where to go in the fall. UC is a contender. I will not fund any school that mandates these shots. Knowing now that UC actually tiered their requirements for different constituents is gross. Everything about it is unethical. Bravo to these students’ call to action and telling the university to name those responsible! These students hold more power than they know. Stand proud!
Thank you. I am relieved that clear and independent thought is alive and well in my alma mater. Justyna Frank BA/MA 1987
I hope this is the spark that ignites college students from coast to coast. Wake up and demand the respect and autonomy you deserve. Everyone who wants a booster can get one. Rise up! Your voice benefits even those who oppose you, whether they can see it or not.
at some point i need to ask, why bother? haven’t all of this rag’s editors already gotten internships at the federalist/national review/fox/toilet paper usa?
Interesting – what a cogent, measured, in-kind response to a well-reasoned, analytical and evidence-based piece….. wink. (Likely penned by a member of UC administration).
Bravo to the authors. Thank you for you willingness to stand up and clearly articulate this position. It is long past time to push back forcefully on these insane policies. Those who advocate these moves could have, a year or more ago, claimed misplaced hysteria. At this point we have entered the territory of mere authoritarian banalities. What a tragedy that such a former bastion of the enlightenment as University of Chicago is in such a state. Sic transit gloria mundi.
You 10 journalists are exceptional. It’s so rare to find that in the Ivy League. It makes one want to weep, observing the docility and obedience and apathy of most of your contemporaries—iAmerica’s future ruling class.
When you’re older you’ll look back and feel pride in the work you did.
Thank you for your courage and erudition. As a lifelong biologist and psychologist with an interest in the history and philosophy of science, I think this statement (along with all these supporting comments) will go on the record of important documents proclaiming human freedom over authoritarianism. I hope my first University (Oxford) lives up to its intellectual ideals, and indeed its motto, and produces its own version.
‘2000 UofC MBA here.
I applaud a well reasoned, well written, and very timely article written by the board.
Time to wake up to the reality and see that the “experimental vaccine” experiment has really failed, and Omicron embodies this failure. As future scientists, we know that experiments fail and this is not the first failed experiment in the history of biology or medicine — but it is the largest.
In addition, since perhaps about half of students just had an active case of Covid, giving more spike-protein-producing boosters to young people who just recovered from the spike-protein virus, means putting them in heightened danger of adverse cardiac and neurological events.
To those who think that “the worst case is that the vaccine does not work”: actually there are much worse “worst cases”. The 20 year old history of very well financed history of mRNA tech had NO successful, approved products before “Covid Vax”.
It is not a good time for virtue signaling.
Journalism is alive and well among these college thinkers!
Faith is restored. the younger generation is not so damaged that they cannot see and sense the stranglehold of tyranny.
May your well written words and criticisms go viral across campuses globally.
I consider myself pretty well and up on the actual situation with mRNA shots and even I learn a few things from this letter. Well done! Sadly, exempted doctors and scientists situation tell us all we need to know about institutional corruption at UChicago. My advise as an old boomer is investigate how much funding this group brings in and you will understand another reason why they get special treatment.
Well done on a nicely written and rational article! There are staff and faculty members who will stand with you. Someone in a previous comment suggested creating an online petition to send to the University. That’s a good idea! Something has to change because the booster carousel is not a long term solution. I’m so glad you decided to make a public stand. I hope this builds momentum and brings change to these draconian campus mandates. Stay strong and don’t back down!

DEATH, TAXES, AND EDUCATION
BY DAVE MCGOWAN | NOV 4, 2000
Young people at UChicago are at tiny risk of hospitalization from any Covid variant. Natural immunity from Omicron infection may stop the pandemic. There is significant evidence of myocarditis and pericarditis (heart inflammation) in young people from the Moderna & Pfizer mRNA vaccines. This can cause PERMANENT damage to your heart. There is risk of blood clots with the J&J adenovirus vaccine. Based on previous safety criteria, all three of these vaccines would have been withdrawn. Getting boosted risks permanent health damage.
Resistance means students, faculty, and staff MUST NOT COMPLY. Make them expel or fire you. Lawyers are willing to file class-action lawsuits based on the overwhelming evidence cited in the editorial, and now have backup from the Supreme Court. The UChicago stood up for speech freedom. The vaccine issue is just as serious. My father was an alumnus of the University of Chicago (PhD, 1965). He and his instructors would never have stood for this.
God bless you, this medical tyranny must stop. The reason all these Universities have forced these illegal mandates, goes back to Fauci. He threatened pulling all federal research money for not mandating an illegal EUA vaccine. Sue them, the law is on your side.
This was a very good article! These vax mandates are unlawful and unethical. Ask yourself, why would I spend $100,000 on an education I can’t use because I am either permanently disabled or dead due to the booster requirements? School doesn’t seem that important anymore. My life or a scroll? 🤔 Threaten your school with the collective withdrawal of all tuition by all students if the boosters aren’ t eradicated!
That’s called TREATMENT, not VACCINE. A government, college, your neighbor ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT have authority to determine and MANDATE how you and your doctor TREAT an illness. MARXISM otherwise.
Great letter. All arguments that have been put forth in other forums– except for one point not directly addressed is the fact that the students already submitted to their two jabs (one for J& J). Only time will tell how it will effect their fertility and birth defects. Not a trade I’d be willing to take for the “beautiful campus and parties”. Should have “not complied” at the outset.
Very encouraging to see this. I hope you are successful.
Well said!
I absolutely agree with everything you wrote. Ultimately, the institution of coercive medicine being administered without consent has to be one of the most odious political developments in human history. If this is not stopped, there really is no point to ever talking about human rights again since obviously the government will have set the precedent that they can force you to submit to pretty much any injection or procedure they want. Forced sterilization. Forced psych meds. Forced suicide at the age of 65. Basically, anything.
To the Editors:
You might wish to strengthen a basic point. The only ethical justification for mandates such as these is the argument which holds that “it’s not about your rights – your decision to not vaccinate (or boost) is putting others at risk”.
However, this is and has been false, and all the moreso since Omicron. You note in your article that natural immunity is superior to the vaccine in reducing transmission – and this is true. But the vaccinated are in fact also transmitting COVID at a higher rate than the unvaccinated (i.e. the vaccines have NEGATIVE efficacy).
UK data supporting this: https://eugyppius.substack.com/p/ukhsa-vaccine-efficacy-statistics-532
Danish data supporting this: (see page 6 – statistically significant negative efficacy against Omicron for both Pfizer and Moderna): https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.20.21267966v2.full.pdf
This, of course, is showing a negative benefit. The cost of the vaccines – myocarditis, pericarditis, menstrual problems, potential trigger for latent cancer – isn’t even considered. The CBA for these vaccines is overwhelmingly negative, especially for those who aren’t elderly.
You all should be prepared to walk. Your leaders at UChicago have failed you, as have most of our leaders nationwide, in willingly bringing in authoritarianism based on an unprecedented pack of lies.
Totalitarians and commies don’t care about you when are we going to learn that.. They have a plan and they do not plan on stopping..
Plandemic glad people finally recognize..
Oh and both sides of our government are completely corrupt.. Republicans and Democrats represent themselves not us..
If memory serves, the University of Chicago was instrumental in the Manhattan project. I was a little kid but I knew those folks were real scientists who brought in the atomic age – for better or worse. A few years later I was myself a “rocket scientist” and the science I knew ushered in the space age. Those were glorious times. But now I’m seeing “science” being so badly used so as to trample our basic rights. Next will I have to get boosters if I want to collect Social Security payments? Barring any such draconian measures, with zero comorbidities, I will pass. Three cheers and kudos to those UChicago students who are standing up to this current politically correct madness.
Bravo! I am delighted that some students are demanding accountability from administration, who have always been able to have their cake and eat it too. Your demands should be amended to included a partial refund of tuition and fees.
I think I might fall over. These students are proof that intelligent humans still exist. Thank GOD for you. You are blazing the path for ALL of us. Please do not give up. You are HOPE. You are the embodiment of HOPE. PLEASE do not forget that.
Most informative and articulate response there has been. Much success to you and your right to have Freedom of Choice as endowed by our CREATOR and our US Constitution. Will add the vaccines do not live up to the Nuremburg Code, which the US signed onto, making what is happening and those forcing it upon anyone… “War Criminals”… committing War Crimes, for they are no different then Mengele….and we have promised those who were…. NEVER again…

Very inspiring. I can only hope that these young people represent future leaders of our country. It’s hard to stand for truth against overwhelming group think, but you all have done it. Thanks for your well-researched, fact-based piece and being clear about your demands. You have emboldened many others who know the truth and feel the same. Stay strong!
The Vaccinated and UnVaccinated have one thing in common:
Neither will ever be fully Vaccinated.
I’m an MBA alum and you make all of us proud. UChicago still a beacon of free thinking.
Don’t stop here. Create a petition and you will surprised how many will sign.
Let us not underestimate the courage and bravery mustered by the authors of this article. In a time where to dissent is to risk expulsion and defamation, these students and authors are sticking out their necks to pursue what they deem right and just. I am facing similar edicts and crackdowns at my school, and going against the grain is no picnic. I hope that these students are successful in their efforts and, in turn, inspire others to summon the moral courage to resist unscientific and unlawful commands.

Hello…I am a 60 year old Grandma so not one of you but I just had to write to you and let you know that your editorial is the best defense I’ve read for informed consent and the freedom to choose. I have saved your piece so that future generations, of my family at least, never forget what has been done. Yes indeed we have been the lab rats in the greatest evil experiment in the history of mankind. I have never trusted the shots because it takes years for a vaccine to be created and released for public use. We are at the very beginning of seeing the results of forcing the “vaccine” onto the public. I am terrified to see what will happen to the children forced into taking the shot including my nephews who have both suffered heart issues afterwards and 2 of my grandchildren.
I have to believe there will be accountability one day for all those responsible for this. There are so many who have perpetrated this evil. Fauci, his fellow politicians as well as the propaganda media are just a few of the many tyrants and authoritarians who will go down in history as collaborators in the greatest evil science experiment of all time. Thank you for bravely defending the freedom to choose for all of us!
I’m reading this in Australia, where some universities have (for the first time) just mandated 2 injections with no option of testing in order to start term 1 in February, including my alma mater. I’m beyond angry at this madness and coercion. Thank you for your article: I can only hope that enough critical thinking students protest at my children’s university prior to the mandate deadline.
Never Again–The Universal Spirit of Nuremberg–Enforce the Code–It will never end until we end it.
Wow…best summary I’ve read so far ….If I was a politician I would hire all these authors immediately to work for me…..
Is UofC giving refunds ?? A “covid discount” ?? They should…
I am a physician. You have to be a genius to get accepted into U of Chicago. So I am not surprised that this long awaited letter comes from this heralded institution.
These are not ‘vaccines.’
They have killed one of my family and injured many of my patients.
It is our youth that we are sacrificing at this false alter of public safety.
Thank you students.
This battle is about your freedom.
I heartily agree with this editorial. These students and employees are not your slaves, U. Chicago. They have control over their own bodies. THEY are the ultimate authority about what goes into their bodies and what healthcare treatments or non treatments they will follow. So glad to see these young people thinking for themselves and pushing back. I hope those hurt by these immoral vaccine mandates sue the University for harm.
On display here by these students are the virtues of courage, backbone, clear reasoning, prudential thinking, temperance (with a sharp edge), fairness (justice), and participatory community and democracy, writ small and large. Oh, nearly forgot to mention this obvious one: Thier unflappable aptitude for “exposing,” disrobing the bureaucratic and technocratic emperors, all of whom seem to think they are safe and fully clothed behind their collective fig leaves.
As a foreigner from Tennysee, may I assign them a reading list, as they draft their responses and slowly recover their credibility (and underwear): (1) Brave New World, (2) 1984, (3) Animal Farm, (4) Fahrenheit 451, (5) Medical Nemesis, (6) Deschooling Society, (7) What Are People For? (8) Jabberwocky.
For extra credit, they ought to read what Paul Kingsnorth and David Cayley are thinking, writing, and saying nowadays, as an antidote and inoculation against the disease of groupthink and authoritarian mimicry. “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.”
These young people are sowing seeds of hope in our dark and ominous times when the basis of hopefulness rests on such tremulous, shaky grounds. Thank you!
Thanks for this coherent article!
Courage is rarely found in a mob, but often in the face of one. Bravo.
Great letter. Well thought out, very reasonable and persuasive arguments. And it will be completely ignored by the University.
These students need to find a lawyer that will take a class action lawsuit. The University should be for the financial damage it is inflicting on these students if they choose to not take the bioweapon. An attorney’s letter is a lot harder to ignore.
Excellent work gentlemen.
We will end this Covid madness one way or another.

Excellent letter. These students give me hope. Our rights are being trampled and our futures imperiled by those who want to advance public control via “public health”. To defeat this we need everyone who values their freedom to stand up and stand together. We need young, old, parents, employees, teachers, students, everyone pushing this back and when we are victorious we need to ensure we never come this close to edge again.
UofC may be where “fun goes to die”, but you’ve just demonstrated that some brave and serious thinkers go there, too. Excellent article that cogently details why vax mandates are immoral and illegal. Keep up the good work! (Disclaimer: I’m vaxed and boosted, so not antivaxxer, just anti-mandate. As a Boomer, I made a deliberate, informed choice – a choice that everyone should be able to make for themselves without coercion.)
Yes please keep up with your opinions

Very well written article. Really sad to see colleges ruin the best years of youth with draconian mandates.
I see so many friends who subject their young kids to Covid vaccines and accept heart pain and vomiting as an acceptable side effect of the vaccine. They even talk about trying a different booster for themselves next time because their current booster made them very sick.
It is refreshing to see students standing up to unscientific mandates. I finally feel hopeful. Thank you!
Expect many calls for comment and talk show appearances. My producer will be contacting you tomorrow.
I feel a Movie deal is worthy… we’ll talk.
Peace
Thank you for having the bravery to stand up to this tyranny. I am astonished that the U of C, where so many great scientists have studied and worked, would require students to take an experimental medical treatment which increases the risk of myocarditis in young people. I am proud of the students for having the critical thinking abilities that the U of C administration apparently lacks. Keep fighting for your health and bodily integrity – the State does not own your body.
Good for you, please keep forcing these universities to actually allow scientific discourse and not force feed things on student. You should be able to make these choices. I am appalled by faculty at my college that are giving into fear mongering hysteria.
Applaud your tenacity and agree with your points. We have to look no further than the “FDA approved” Comirnity package insert. It says only 58% of trial participants had safety data at 4 months. What happened to the other 42%? Statistically speaking that answer could change the outcome of the study and is very low evidence of a well run study. In addition, the insert also states that Comirnity hasn’t been tested on carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, or infertility in males. They did go the “extra mile” and test it on female rats and said nothing happened to their offspring so we can all
Sleep sound at night with that reassurance.
I am a graduate of the U of C (JD, 1982) and the father of a recent graduate of the College. In recent years, I have been immensely proud of the University and its strong stands in support of free speech, independent thought and reasoned and respectful debate on virtually all issues. This is what a university should stand for.
However, the developments described in this editorial are profoundly disappointing to me and smack of the authoritarian policies of my undergraduate alma mater has so eagerly embraced. I had thought that the University of Chicago was better than that.
This gives me faith in humanity…in institutes of higher learning ….BRAVO. This was thought a provoking, A-Political, fact driven Editorial. I commend your team on delivery and execution of a very serious problem, that not only plagues your university, but every “corridor” of a supposed “Republic” …This is occuring in to many spaces…a “Different set of Rules” according to statues. These Mandates have been financially incentivized, and not at all about the Health…physically or emotionally for the participants. The guildlines that these institutions are having to follow to get Federal Dollars clarifies the “Authoritarian Gauntlet”.
I am — actually, was — an adjunct faculty. Last week I publicly refused to comply with a booster demand at the university where I taught for over 20 years.
I penned a comprehensive Statement of Refusal which I emailed to the entire staff of the university (unfortunately, I did not have the ability to post to the students).
Editorial Board of Chicago Thinker: If you would like me to send it to you, as it contributes to your effort, contact me via my personal email and I will email you the two pdfs. (The first pdf is the short body of the summary message email addressed to HR; the second is the Statement, 7 pages long.)
This is the best written and researched college newspaper op/ed I have read in decades, far better than the usual schlock rooted in unsupported wishes. Congratulations to the editorial board on producing a more professional policy statement than most University administrations are capable of.
This is a very well written article. I hope it has impact on many Universities. Please send this article to other Universities with booster mandates. I am at MSU and it has the same coercive, nonsensical requirements. Something very strange is happening, we are losing our liberties and rights.
This should have been written in March 2020. The information was available then (but the people that could have told you this were labeled conspiracy theorists).
You need to read what virologists/immunologists and other scientists who study disease and vaxxes are saying. Many of them have come out and told the truth about these vaxes – there is FAR more to it than what mainstream sources are saying. Quit relying on talking heads on TV/mainstream news are saying. They are not telling you the truth. Find out what VAERS is – it is a self-reporting tool for anyone who has had the covid vax to report – it says that thousands have died from these jabs. Causes are myocarditis (heart attacks), blood clots (which are causing strokes), brain infections and too many other things to list here. My husband was a virologist for years (over 50 yrs research of viruses) he worked with a Nobel prize scientist and has known several others that he conversed with. He has researched this virus, it is NOT safe.
You make fools of the administration by pointing out the exemptions that certain personnel have. I bet the “science” and the virus knows which group of personnel it can and cannot attack.
Why not start a petition similar to UConn addressing Admin and Board of Trustees regarding the mandate?
https://www.petitions.net/ucon_covid-19_booster_mandate
The young people of this country are impressing me! You are the future. Stand firm in your beliefs and demand justice! Excellent article!!
When we hear a constant stream of junk called “science” from ignorant, fat, stupid politicians and government employees intent on shutting down any voice that dares to question their word, we know they wouldn’t know science if it was a billboard that said SCIENCE, that hit them in the face.
Three cheers, Amen, and thank you for clearly and wonderfully stating your case. There is hope for our country!!!
Excellent!!!!
Succinct and well researched…..
Opening the path and shining a light where negative mass consciousness, hysteria and darkness reside…
More will now be empowered to step forward…
So proud of you guys….
To the “Thinkers”..
Kombuchas for all
Bravo!!
Outstanding article, better than 95% of the ‘scientific’ analysis coming out of the CDC and FDA and public health journals today. I’m pulling for you in your fight against these measures.

Kudos THINKERS! Given Omicron, hope more UChicago academics will now finally break their silence on the global Covid insanity. It requires bravery. Though I fear most will instead choose to protect their reputations and grants.

I’m sorry but by not getting the booster you are putting everyone at the campus at risk of catching Covid. If everyone gets their booster then everyone will feel comfortable in attending a in-person learning environment. The only way things will get back to normal is if everyone does their part and get the booster. Pfizer is talking about a 4th shot now because we as a people are failing in getting everyone vaccinated. It is not fair, but we have to. I don’t want to wear a mask forever but because of the unvaccinated I am now wearing a new N95 mask every 3 hours.
Listen to the heads of the University, I’m sure they are qualified in making these type of decisions. It is not easy, but the science is to be trusted because so many experts are putting their heads together to get us through this. Things are more troubling because last year the Flu was gone, but now it has come back with a vengeance. Next year the annual Flu shot and the Covid Booster should be required!
Amazing! Living in Chicago I didn’t think anyone else around me was aware of the FDA approval shell game scam they pulled and how inhumane it is to coerce people to accept a experimental injection in order to live a normal life.
I been trying to tell others that mRNA never passed Stage 3 animal trials and that the vaccines are shipped frozen because they have magnetic molecules that stick together. This magnetic molecule is not listed in the official ingredients because it is considered a trade secret ingredient, but in patents outside of the US, it has to be listed. Your cells absorb it, become magnetic and stick together forming blood clots. Vaccinated need to take a D-Dimer test to find out if they are micro-clotting, if they do then they will eventually have heart problems.
You can see the difference in blood between the vaccinated and unvaccinated here:

To the Editors of this article, this here, will be a defining moment in your lives. Going against the mainstream norms and put it out in public takes courage! Many took the easy route, complied and go back to their regular distractions of streaming, weed, video games and social media. But the editors here, they have done their research and made a very solid argument. I wasn’t aware of the 75 year approval docs fiasco!!
This is a moment in time where you learn where exactly people stand, cowardice leads into submission of an experimental jabs on the regular. I am human, not livestock. In the future you will tell your kids how you have stood up and changed the system. Found that inner strength to speak truth to power.
No booster for me and have detoxed as much of the original jabs I can by following the excellent advice found in the comments section in this article.
https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/graphene-oxide-in-jabs-masks-and-swabs
Best of luck and God Bless!!
I would not be surprised if on January 24th this Booster mandate is dropped. This is the type of game they play with people, especially employers. When there are any adverse effects they should be held 100% liable because anyone who hasn’t taken it until a mandate is imposed on them is 100% being coerced.
There is a debate if coercion is a violation of the Nuremberg Code, but what isn’t a debate are these mandates forcing people to get a medical procedure involving an experimental injection into their bodies in order to live their life as before is a violation of human rights.
Requiring a booster while we are still learning about the adverse effects of the original vaccines is pure madness.
The website below allows you to enter in the vaccine batch number on your card and see how many adverse reactions & deaths been officially reported in the VAERS system.

Wow! This is absolutely AMAZING!!! Good for you who put this all together! WELL SAID!! I live in San Diego, CA and watched you, Audry, on Tucker Carlson. This was so AWESOME to read! I am SO impressed!
God Bless you all! STAY STRONG! Our country NEEDS you all!
This is one of the best well written articles I have read. I am praying that this will go viral. I don’t do social media anymore because it is so controlled. Hopefully the interview with Tucker Carlson to get the word out. We need more college students standing up to this. The fact the “experts” at this college, and this appears to be happening all across the US – doctors, nurses, scientists, researchers -refusing to get the experimental jab- speaks VOLUMES!
Standing up for body autonomy and standing against one size fits all medicine has to happen or yes, this will be the beginning of worse things to come. While many people may not know God, I can tell you He is a big God and there are multitudes of people praying for the truth to come out and this nonsense to stop. You are all in our prayers. Stand strong. Learn how to truly obtain good health. You don’t have to search too far but you have to be willing to look beyond mainstream medicine.
I hope U of Chicago and others get rid of these mandates. My son is vaccinated, except for Covid. He already had covid, and does not want a jab that could give him myocarditis. I hear Florida has good universities, so maybe he can go there or do an online degree. U of Chicago is not on his list.
Excellent article, research and arguments. It’s so refreshing to hear students standing up for their rights and freedom which are being denied. It is frightening that colleges and universities are mandating vaccinations and boosters, ignoring the science, data and risks associated with them. Kudos to these editors!
I am genuinely pleased to read this weblog posts which includes plenty of valuable information, thanks for providing
these statistics.
Well done! If you lose autonomy and control over your own bodies then what is left? Fight for your freedom!
