Some additional questions I have, which I will pose to the administration tomorrow and certainly get ignored, are:
By your narrative it appears the vaccines do work in academic settings but don't work in social settings? Do you have studies that confirm this?
Though it seems possible, according to your narrative, that the reason the vaccines don't work in social settings is due to insufficient masking in such settings. If this is the case this brings up two questions:
A) Where is your evidence that the transmission occurred in these settings?
B) Does this mean that the vaccine only works when accompanied by a mask?
How have you determined that there is no transmission in class room settings? Where can I find that study?
While eating and drinking does the virus take a time out from being transmissible?
If there is such "spread" causing record number of "cases" isn't this a clear indication that the vaccines, masks and/or vaccine/mask combination at best don't work and therefore promoting "boosters" for an ineffective vaccine is doubling down on a failed strategy?
As an internationally recognized research institution are you using this opportunity to test vaccinated students to monitor adverse reactions?
How many of the over 500 cases this week (an unprecedented number) are from students who have received the booster?
Do you have one single scientific report to back up any of these comments?
I'm sure we could come up with a dozen more questions that illustrate the insanity of this. Let me know if you have any to add.
Such excellent questions, Allen! I also believe you won't get any answers and if you do, it will be boilerplate statements about following the science (what science?) and caring for the health of the school community, blah, blah, blah. Never has science been so darned unscientific as when it comes to vaccination in general and COVID in particular. Here in New South Wales, we were told at various times that brothels and bottle shops (liquor stores) were not places where you could catch covid, but pubs, supermarkets and hardware stores were. If you were standing or walking, you needed to mask because apparently COVID only operates above a certain height, but vigorous walking or running were safe activities unmasked whilst dancing or singing could never be practiced safely - even while masked. The mind boggles!
Please do share any response you get from Cornell. It should be good for a laugh.
Good stuff Meryl.
