Unless you're a virologist, I don't want you opinion on the efficacy and reasons for vaccination. If I wanted to know if I can trust a bridge I'd ask people intimate with the details. Anyone else speaking in their place is muddying the waters.

Lol. University administrators are not virologists.

No, but if their policy is based on real expertise and evidence, and not joe bob "whos a doctor", then I trust that knowledge far more. Everyone of every background has tried to comment on the efficacy and reasoning of vaccines, they do this by being intellectually dishonest and citing papers they don't understand, ignoring that medical science is a science like any other - there's a lot of published material and specific expertise necessary to grok it. At most people will look at the graphs pictured and think they understand how that graph works. Case in point the israel study.
