Ahhh Ithaca NY. I knew thee well.
You don't say. And they haven't hit peak season yet.
"By the numbers, during the first week of school that ran from Aug. 27 to Sept. 2 of this academic year, Cornell reported 322 positive COVID-19 cases.
In comparison, during the first week of school last year, which ran from Sept. 3 through Sept. 9 of 2020, Cornell reported 59 positive COVID-19 cases."
You'd think that at a university, where presumably there are hundreds if not thousands of the "best minds", they would have waited on seeing actual data on these new jabs before mandating anything. But no, these malicious people who are convinced of their self-righteousness just imposed stuff because that's what they believed in.
The data suggests a similar pattern as seen in Israel and other "highly vaccinated" areas. Cases go up. The official narrative is that these rise in cases are the "unvaccinated" but we can see that these are actually "vaccinated" people.
There are a lot of universities that are going to experience similar rises. A lot of them are mucking the numbers up because they do not test people who have taken the jabs. Now personally I don't think they should be testing anybody. This testing serves to panic the public and serves little public good. Most people who "test positive" are not infectious and are not and do not become ill. The problem facing places like Ithaca is that they have pretty brutal winters. Vitamin D deficiency is going to rise dramatically and a lot of people are going to be indoors a lot.
Anyway. More and more data is showing that these jabs at best are a symptom mitigator who's effects are best seen in those who are healthiest. That is, hospitalization rate fall for those who are jabbed AND have no comorbidities. However; if you possess any of the big 4: obesity, diabetes, hypertension or other metabolic disease, being jabbed apparently significantly increases your likelihood of being hospitalized.
The warning flags are up.
