Harvard University has finally dropped its requirement that all students get a full course of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Harvard Health Services announced on its website this week that students will no longer need to be vaccinated in order to attend college, but recommended they wear “high-quality” face diapers to protect themselves from infectious diseases.
“HUHS will no longer require students to receive the COVID-19 vaccine,” the statement read. “We strongly recommend that all members of the Harvard community stay up to date on COVID-19 vaccines, including booster vaccines if eligible.”
“In addition, we continue to emphasize the benefits of wearing a high-quality face mask in crowded indoor settings and staying home if feeling unwell.”
“HUHS is taking into account state and federal guidelines, along with the advice of university public health experts, in responding to COVID-19,” she continued. “We will continue to monitor public health data and review requirements periodically.
After the Biden regime finally ended the public health emergency in May last year, the university dropped its requirement that students must get COVID-19 vaccines, though it still required them to provide initial proof of vaccination.
Harvard University was one of hundreds of higher education institutions that tried to force its students to take the vaccine, despite there being no evidence that it prevented transmission of the virus at all.
Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) downgraded the Chinese coronavirus to the same status as influenza, calling for a “unified approach” to treating such infections.
CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen said the announcement “reflects the progress we have made in protecting against serious illness caused by COVID-19.”
“However, we must still use common-sense solutions that we know work to protect ourselves and others from serious illness caused by respiratory viruses – this includes vaccination, treatment, and staying home when we are sick,” she continued.
