You make a well-reasoned and persuasive case. The stakes could not be higher. As a longtime supporter and donor to UPenn, you have my full support. Best of luck, Bill Bollinger
Thank you, Bill, for standing up to my alma mater and supporting Vincent's opposition to the craziness, especially given that it is propelled by elite "higher institutions of learning." No more donations from alums until admin reverses policy.
Thank you for giving us hope that the colleges and universities still have those who will fight for and appreciate our great country—lots to improve, but lots to cherish as well! Here are a few thoughts from the experts you may appreciate:
The only version of Pfizer‘s FDA approved vaccine is not available in the United States, so no American citizens are allowed to sue any of the major companies for any adverse events related to vaccines:

How do hospital admissions of children from #COVID19 in England compare to other infections? All admissions testing positive for #COVID19 in <18yrs after nearly 2yrs of pandemic: 15,273
Mean annual admissions for
Viral wheeze: 77,488
Bronchiolitis: 51.655
Otitis media: 33,000
Assuming 18-28 are somewhat close.

Boosters have no clear association w/severe disease <age 40-50. This is consistent w/ Israeli data published in NEJM which found no significant
Clinically, omicron behaves like a different virus. The KPSC study found 1 possible
death (unconfirmed if causal) out of 52,297 omicron cases! That's radically
different from the prior alpha, beta, & delta predecessors that killed 1/400
Americans. Policy should adapt accordingly.

Obviously as you know, I'm trying to be as
transparent as I can and now is more important than ever.
On December 22 I got my booster vaccination because I didn't want to struggle with this when the season started. I was told that it was safer to get
Pfizer to avoid cardiac side effects.
On December 27 I felt a tightness in the chest and started feeling dizzy while walking up the stairs. This happened a few more times until I decided to check
with a cardiologist who diagnosed me with
pericarditis (inflammation of the thin membrane surrounding the heart).
I am now not allowed to get my heart rate up for a few weeks to allow my heart to rest and heal from the inflammation.
I am still doing everything I can with my coach to keep my muscles moving and he's doing a GREAT job, thank you @patsaile !!
I have to admit that I am upset at the situation because we don't talk enough about the side effects. I feel helpless since this is completely out of my control.
I am glad the vaccine helped avoid many deaths and reduce the pressure on the hospitals and hospital staff however I am frustrated that myself as well as other young and healthy people are suffering from these heavy side effects. I hope you understand why it is important for me to
share, I'll keep you guys updated on the process let me know if you're experiencing the same, let's help each other!
Adjusting for test rate may explain the negative vax efficacy seen in Ontario
(twitter.com/TracyBethHoeg/..), but Denmark is giving us a clear picture of a future where neither 2 nor 3 doses prevents infection.
Can the @CDCgov please make use of @SSI dk & @KT_ Baek's data & analyses?
Now. let's turn to the Province of Ontario,
vaccine effectiveness 2 dose or 3 dose is in the toilet; Note the y axis, and broad
confidence interval post dose 3. Here dose 3 would fail to meet the FDA standard of at least 50% VE, with lower bound Cl >30%- standard for EUA.
Putting these 3 studies together [Ontario, and Denmark]: what is the conclusion? Two doses of vaccine does nothing or almost nothing to stop symptomatic sars-cov-2. Three doses barely does anything, and the effect will likely attenuate over time. Finally, as the number of exposures increase from 2 to 22 to 202, the cumulative probability of infection will approach 1.

Fantastic argument. I've been fighting the University of Maryland system since it mandated vaccines April 2020. We need more voices like yours, especially student voices. Thank you.
Thank you for doing this! I cannot thank you enough. I finished my PhD 20 years ago but wanted to do a masters online. The mandate is making me think twice. Even online programs require the jab. The spike protein is the most dangerous part of the virus. Yet they inject us with the "vaccines" to produce 10s of trillions of spike protein particles. There are alot of deaths and injuries and they are not rare!
You make many valid points but some are flat out wrong. Much higher risk of myocarditis / inflammation of heart muscle/tissue from Covid than the vaccine. Also you’re a UPenn PhD student. We both know an overwhelming majority of deaths have been from unvaccinated people. And young, unvaccinated people have suffered from long hauler symptoms. I don’t get why a person with your intelligence would say that the major point of vaccines is to stop the spread when we all know that’s not the true point
Your premise seems off the mark regarding the reason for vaccination. Also “well documented risks of vaccine-induced heart inflammation” is not meaningful without looking at controls. Need to look at all scenarios. Virus induced heart inflammation even more common. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7035e5.htm

Thank you for your support, Mr. Bollinger. It's important that UPenn know just how many members of the Penn community are opposed to this mandate.

CDC via the New York Times: 01/19/22
"Unvaccinated people with a history of
Covid also had lower rates of infection and
hospitalization than those protected by
vaccines alone.
The data are consistent with trends
observed in international studies, the
researchers said."
This is why the huge push for boosters, whose efficacy only lasts a few months:
“Aaron Siri & @AaronS.• Dec 31. 2021
As of today, Canadian data reflects 80
Covid infections per 100,000 vaccinated
versus only 60 Covid infections per
100,000 unvaccinated. CDC still hiding its
data. So, time to crush rights of the
vaccinated? No - rights should be
inalienable. covid-19.ontario.ca/data”

Dr. Jay Bhattachayra MDPhD Stanford was asked about the difference between smallpox vaccination and COVID-19 vaccination:
Smallpox Vaccine
1. A sterilizing vaccine
2. No animal reservoirs
3. Focused quarantine for positive cases
4. A public health establishment worthy of trust
5. International cooperation
5. Centuries of work
Zero covid is a dangerous utopian fantasy.
