It's a great way to weed out the nuts.

The risks to young males from repeat covid vaccinations are well-documented. Which is why much of Europe no longer vaccinates youth for covid. It is ironic that the US centers of higher learning are the holdouts in ignoring the scientific evidence with regard to this young cohort. [/quote]

Actually repeated studies show that the risk of myocarditis is still significantly lower than the risk if you actually get covid.  Odds are most who do not want the vax or to be boosted are not being careful and have likely had covid at least once if not multiple times.  So it's not really the risk of myocarditis that you are worried about---if you were you would be more careful, mask when in public in indoor spaces, etc and do everything you can to prevent getting it.  Doubt that is the case. [/quote]

Honestly stfu. Scientific evidence is extremely weak in either direction. It’s a judgment call if a person esp a young person wants to get vaccinated/boosted, and it shouldn’t be forced or imposed as a condition for someone seeking an educational degree [/quote]

No it's not a judgement call.  Science is science. But the lack of education is apparently running high for you and your family.  [/quote]

I’ve got two Ivy League degrees but keep calling me stupid.

Anyone who says “science is science” with respect to a medical decision is a true moron. [/quote]
The concept of "trust the science" goes against the underlying principles of science which are to question, debate, and explore. Remarkably, the public use of the phrase "trust the science" was amplified after Yale researchers conducted a study on how to use messaging to increase vaccine uptake and found the phrase "trust the science" was very effective in making the vaccinated think negatively of the unvaccinated. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34774363/ 
"In terms of judging non-vaccinators, the largest effects were for the Not Bravery and Trust in Science messages, with each effect also statistically distinguishable from the Baseline message. Notably, in this sample the Trust in Science message had large effects on beliefs and actions toward others but appeared ineffective in changing an individual’s own intended vaccination behavior." 
The concept of "trust the science" never made sense from a science perspective but makes a lot of sense when trying to shape public psyche.[/quote]
