We oppose the covid vaccine mandate at Naropa. The vaccine has had adverse effects including, but not limited to, chronic seizures and convulsions, Bell's palsy, paralysis and sudden death; it is an experimental vaccine. The long term effects of this are unknown. Based on personal experience and research, we also doubt the vaccine's efficacy in preventing infections and the spread of covid. We believe students should not be coerced or mandated to take this. Students should have choice regarding this.
As an employee at Naropa, I was sad to hear this decision that I feel removes personal freedom of choice regarding the vaccine and causes students unneeded restrictions. Some of the vaccines have shown very adverse reactions that costs people thousands of dollars in medical bills. Will Naropa pay the medical bills if there is an adverse reaction to the vaccine from its faculty, staff, or students? Where is the liability and protection??
