I’m backing RFK Jr.
In the spring of 2021, I was barred from attending the remainder of my graduate school program at NYU for refusing to take the Covid shots, as hundreds of colleges across the country implemented novel vaccine mandates for students and faculty. I had spent the entire last year of lockdown Zoom school researching coronaviruses and mRNA biotechnology. By the time these drugs were rolled out at “warp speed” without long-term clinical data demonstrating their safety or efficacy, I could find zero compelling evidence that these experimental gene therapies would stop transmission and end Covid-19, the only morally compelling reason to mandate them.
