[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quote above is mostly true.  [b]Vaccine and/or booster does not prevent someone from getting COVID[/b].

Recent studies have shown that getting a booster can help those with long COVID, but others have no change and some get worse.[/quote]

Ignorance on display.

The flu vaccine does not prevent anyone from getting flu, either.

What both vaccines do is reduce the [i]severity[/i] of the illness if one is infected. But I figure you might be in the "Covid isn't a serious illness, it's merely a cold" camp and won't be convinced that we still don't know whether a person's outcome might be nothing much, or a more severe case.

And you're trying to imply above that getting a booster means "some get worse" --due to the booster? Citations, please. Not from inside your head or Newsmax; from an actual medical source. And you do know that correlation is not equal to causation, right? Someone getting worse after a booster does not translate into "The booster caused this." [/quote]

While the Covid vax may reduce severity of the disease, just as not being obese would, what right does a college have to mandate this injection to protect the young person from a severe outcome (when it is so exceedingly rare for healthy young people to have bad outcomes)? There are also bad outcomes associated with the injection. As you point out, this is not about protecting the community but about protecting the individual. [b]Therefore the college has no legitimate right to force this on the student- it should be up to the student in consultation with his family and physician.[/b]  [/quote]
