These measures are concerning because there is the potential for harms with only marginal benefits

This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Masking does offer a layer of protection that individuals can use to further reduce their exposure risk. However, in the context of a lack of a societal mask mandate, a campus mandate may not offer significant benefits. Students are not only together in the classroom. They live, eat, play, party, work, travel and exercise together, in settings where masks are commonly not worn.

These are theoretical arguments, but the reality has been seen in other universities. While masks and vaccine mandates may have helped limit the spread of COVID-19 at Cornell through 2021, the emergence of the Omicron variant changed things significantly. Afound that the impact of Cornell’s infection-control measures was fairly minimal after the emergence of Omicron, with large-scale transmission on campus that mirrored what was happening in the rest of society.

But paramount to all of this is ensuring students get the experience they have sacrificed for two years in order to protect the rest of society, while recognizing that the pandemic has fundamentally changed. It is not reasonable to deny students a higher-level education based on a medical decision that has minimal benefit.

Elites don't care about health. It's about control. I said it two years ago

Poll: Is Dr. Chagla correct?

What journalism is not dead? Good job!!

UofT fully remove harmful vaccine mandates. They don’t help anyone.

Because there is NO SCIENCE behind this move and decision makers did not even try to argue that there is...why do this? There can be only one reason. A Full Financial disclosure of the all the decision makers is required NOW! Transparency is key to understanding this policy

Western's vaccine mandate is ANTI SCIENCE. There's ZERO science supporting this They're on the WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY. The rest of the world is learning of the injuries caused by mRNA injections. Western is among the last to engage in CRIMINAL COERCION

the entire narrative of COVID was mostly wrong. Schools should have never shut down because kids could have gone to school safely all along. Masks did virtually nothing, if anything at all, to stop the spread of COVID. You didn’t actually need to Lysol your mail and groceries!

Vaccines have been abysmal failure so what's the point of mandating them? ('[Vaccines are] [d]ifferent than most medicines that treat or cure diseases, vaccines prevent you from getting sick with the disease in the first place.')

If Western U can pull this off, it will become a clinical trial to test the theory of ... 'Large-scale vaccination with these updated vaccines will expedite natural selection & expansion of SC-2 variants with a high level of virulence and infectiousness in vaccines.' Geert VB.
