Cornell University reported 903 cases of Covid-19 among students between December 7-13, and a "very high percentage" of them are Omicron variant cases in fully vaccinated individuals, according to university officials. The school's Covid-19 dashboard was updated late Tuesday afternoon, accounting for the jump in case numbers reported. "Virtually every case of the Omicron variant to date has been found in fully vaccinated students, a portion of whom had also received a booster shot," said Vice President for University Relations Joel Malina in a statement.

As of result, the school has decided to shut down its Ithaca, New York, campus, where it has about 25,600 students. Cornell's overall vaccination rate among students is 97%. The university will move final exams for the semester online, cancel all activities and athletics and close the libraries, President Martha Pollack wrote in a letter to the student body posted Tuesday.

And the funny thing is that these frickers will still insist on lining up to get three more shots for Omicron despite already having natural immunity.

Fully vaxed:

-1st shot
-2nd shot
-Booster
-New first shot
-New second shot
-Another booster

Plus: a mild case of Covid

The CDC admitted earlier in the week that 80% of Omicron cases in the USA are in the Vaccinated.

What was the excuse by several for this? Because only the vaccinated can travel internationally so therefore they have a better chance of getting it.

Such BS

Impossible. With all those vaccinations, there is no way they are getting Covid.

They just need probably 2 more booster shots and they should be ok

Where are all the reporters and journalist yelling that the NE is keeping us in this pandemic with their reckless decisions and inferring that by the Yankees are stupid like was done to the south all this year and a lot of last year?

Full. Blown. Retard.

Clown world for something less severe than the flu and is likely even being mistaken for the flu in testing. Hilarious to watch.

This is fricking stupid.

We know that the vaccinated can still get covid. It’s here forever. But the severity and length of symptoms are lessened.

So why shut down?

Omicron is more evasive to the vaccine and less severe. As far as I know, still only 1 known death in the WORLD to Omicron. Using cases as your basis for policy is stupid. It's past time for everything to go back to normal. And this is coming from someone who's a proponent of the vaccine.
