Universities clinging to vaccine mandates may face heavy liability

Universities that retain vaccine mandates may face heavy liability

  • NorthShore University HealthSystem reached a $10.3 million settlement last month with 500 current and former healthcare workers who were denied religious exemptions.
  • Outside of the CDC’s purview, Canadian colleges are also facing pushback for their vaccine mandates.

Western University imposed a three-dose mandate after "extensive consultation with its science experts and its community," which earned derision from its medical alum Matt Strauss

  • "Which 'experts' are these who do not seem to know that third dose effectiveness is roughly zero (0.6-6.5%) at 4 months?" he tweeted.

Why would you kick someone out of school because they didn't take a booster 8 months ago that is currently providing ~0% protection against transmission?" he wrote.

  • "Pretension? Malice? Call[o]us disregard for people who think differently than you?"
  • Western didn't answer a request for its response to Strauss' criticism and cited research.
