Caleb is currently on an extended outing with his company during basic training in Kentucky. I doubt he will hear of this until a few days from now. And then he won't have time to respond to it in any way until after his training ends on August 5th.
Classes start a month from now. When I complained that the short notice was irresponsible, a representative from Wabash reassured me that it was ok if my son only had time to get the first of two shots before classes started - he would be allowed to get the second after he arrives on campus.
OK, but what if he doesn't want to be forced into taking EITHER shot? What then? Does he have time to enroll in some other college at this point?
The answer is no.
Since the college is requiring all their staff and faculty to also get vaccinated, who exactly are they trying to protect by strong arming students into vaccination?
The whole thing has the stench of paternalism to it.
"This is for your own good."
But is it?
He's a healthy 20 year old. How about the college allow him to do his own risk management?
