Fully Vaccinated Colleges Now Seeing Surges In COVID Cases

Ramon Tomey  |  February 2nd, 2022


Colleges with students fully vaccinated against COVID-19 are now seeing surges in infections. The case spikes were largely driven by the highly transmissible B11529 omicron variant.

The University of Oregon (UO) is one such college that saw COVID-19 cases rise among fully vaccinated students. Aisha Ghorashian, a senior at the university, told NPR:

“You feel the stress on campus. People don’t feel safe. You see people wearing double masking and those N95 [masks] that I’ve never seen people wear before.”

Despite UO’s student body having a vaccination rate of more than 96%, the university still reported 960 COVID-19 infections in the first week of January 2022. This coincided with students returning to campus for in-person classes.

Several colleges and universities also reported spikes in infections in the first week of the spring semester. The University of Georgia reported almost a thousand positive cases on campus. Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, meanwhile, reported 1,196 confirmed COVID-19 cases.

This wouldn't be happening if students simply got 'vaccinated' [sic].   Oh, wait . . .
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

So how many of these technical cases resulted in severe symptoms or death?

What matters is the latter, not the former.

If all they're getting is technical cases without serious or lethal symptoms, then they should be holding covid-parties to get omicron as widespread as possible; that is the only way forward for permanently making this thing an endemic nothingburger.

According to some, this could be construed as just more "illiterate anti-vaxx propaganda".   :whistle:
Throwing our allegiances to political parties in the long run gave away our liberty.
