Alex Berenson draws attention to the insanity that’s continuing at US colleges, and he states the telltale disconnect with reality in simple and succinct terms:
Meanwhile, colleges and universities are now requiring Covid vaccine boosters
The insanity in higher education continues.
Bowdoin College and Syracuse University are just two of the institutions of higher education now telling students to get boosted or get lost. Here’s Bowdoin’s email from yesterday [all-caps in original]: “effective January 21, 2022, Bowdoin is requiring all students, faculty, and staff to receive a COVID-19 booster shot within thirty (30) days of becoming eligible.”
Keep in mind:
1: The risk of severe disease or death from Covid [the disease] to healthy college-age adults is too low to measure accurately. The data from Europe suggests that a healthy 18 year-old has a risk of death lower than 1 in 1 million.
2: The risk of dangerous heart inflammation [from the injection] is NOT too low to measure. A new study from Hong Kong found that for 1 out of 2,300 12-17 year-old boys who received both Pfizer doses suffered acute myocarditis or pericarditis.
Most of the risk came after the second dose. The risk is very similar in college-age men.
…
Any social movement, like the Luv-The-Injection-Or-Else movement, that is immune to data is a cult, pure and simple.
You’ve probably heard the nonsense about how the myocarditis or pericarditis is “mild” and that the victims were “treated and released” from hospital. Guess what? Everyone admitted to a hospital is “treated and released.” Some are cured, some continue treatment at home, some are sent elsewhere for continuing treatment—and some are dead.
“Treated and released” applies to stroke and heart attack patients. Here is Dr. Peter McCullough talking about a key aspect here, which relates to Berenson’s distinction between the effects of Covid the Disease as opposed to the Injections:
Dr. Peter McCullough: Now, the myocarditis that occurs with a natural infection is usually those sick enough to be in the ICU, and it’s a troponin elevation only. It is very different than the myocarditis that we’re seeing with the vaccines, which we’ll get to. The myocarditis in COVID-19 is mild, it’s inconsequential, and it’s largely a troponin elevation. I don’t want anybody to think that the myocarditis of the natural infection is anything like what we’re seeing with the vaccines.
Interviewer: Exactly. The vaccine produces the inflammatory type process is on the heart.
Dr. Peter McCullough: And the vaccine is directly there. Now there’s preclinical studies suggesting the lipid nanoparticles actually go right into the heart. The heart expresses the spike protein. The body attacks the heart. There are dramatic EKG changes. The troponin, the blood test for heart injury with the vaccine myocarditis, is 10 to 100 fold higher than the troponin we see with the natural infection. It’s a totally different syndrome. About what when the kids get myocarditis after the vaccine, 90% have to be hospitalized. They have dramatic EKG changes, chest pain, early heart failure. They need echocardiograms. If the ejection fraction is low, they need medications to prevent heart failure. So vaccine-induced myocarditis is a big deal. And in children, it’s way more serious and more prominent than post-COVID myocarditis.
This injection cult is crazy by any normal measure of sanity, but it’s not really surprising. We’ve seen repeated and regular expressions of mass hysteria inspired by the Left for decades, now. It can never be repeated too often: The Left's Coup Is the Overthrow of Truth.
Institutions of “higher learning” are hastening their own decline with these policies. Enrollments at my institution, for example, are down 10% from before Covid. I expect that to become an endemic problem in short order.
