Booster Mandates May Have Unnecessarily Hurt Millions Of College Students

One of history's most embarrassing policies may have been even more harmful than previously realized

Who would have believed we’d still be talking about COVID vaccine mandates in 2024, but given how resistant authority figures are to accepting reality, or defeat or acknowledging mistakes, it seems likely we’ll unfortunately be subjected to talking about them forever.

Dozens of colleges are continuing to enforce vaccine and booster mandates on students, refusing to accept, in the face of all available evidence and data, that there is no external health benefit whatsoever to forcing 18-year-olds to get injected with a vaccine with minimal, transient benefits but with potentially harmful side effects.

This is made even more frustrating by the fact that the former director of the FDA recently admitted that the COVID vaccine approvals process, which gave colleges and universities license to unnecessarily force mandates onto young people, was catastrophically and fatally flawed.

Now a few researchers have turned their efforts towards attaching specific, conclusive data to expose just how damaging and harmful these mandates have been for young college students.

And it’s not good news.
