I have the utmost respect for science and fully recognize the benefits of vaccines. However, I also have a great desire for my personal freedom and bodily autonomy. I agree that it would be incredibly improper to mandate a relatively new vaccine that has only thus far received emergency authorization. I have no doubts about its effectiveness and have very few doubts about its safety, but as a young, healthy individual, I have similarly few doubts about my safety even if I were to contract the coronavirus. I recognize that the school has a responsibility to protect all of its students, but it has done so through providing easily accessible vaccination opportunities to its students and has no place forcing us to do anything regarding our individual persons.

I agree and would like to add that Mines has shown itself to be different from the norm repeatedly throughout the pandemic. I firmly believe that a group of such scientifically-minded people will willingly vaccinate without a mandate to the point of herd immunity. I myself plan to be vaccinated, but don't believe that those with concerns should be made to choose between their education and their right to control their own bodies.
