ANALYSIS: If the goal is to prevent infection, the 95 percent vaccination rate on Cornell’s campus has not accomplished that
Cornell University has aggressively pushed its students to get vaccinated, announcing a vaccine mandate for the 2021-22 academic year in April and frequently denying religious and medical exemptions.
As a result, 95 percent of the campus population, both students and faculty, is vaccinated.
Despite this, Cornell University has more than five times the amount of confirmed positive cases during its first week of this academic year than it did during its first week of the 2020-21 academic year, according to the Cornell COVID dashboard.
By the numbers, during the first week of school that ran from Aug. 27 to Sept. 2 of this academic year, Cornell reported 322 positive COVID-19 cases.
In comparison, during the first week of school last year, which ran from Sept. 3 through Sept. 9 of 2020, Cornell reported 59 positive COVID-19 cases.
That is 263 more cases, or more than five times the amount of positive cases, when comparing the first week of school.
Would you please stop printing these facts and evidence?
It’s really messing up the government’s “you’ll die if you don’t become part of the world’s largest human drug experiment.”
Further, ABC, NBC, and CNN are going to have a much harder time with their propaganda.
Thank you.
Calls into question the true efficacy of these things in the first place. Same with how we are de-oxegenating ourselves with face masks and potentially making ourselves weaker in the process. We’re not designed to breath in a CO2 rich environment for hours on end in the heat of summer or at all ever.
It’ll be worse in Ithaca once winter comes.
The vaccine doesn’t work! There! Is that clear enough?
