Morris Brown College

Lost its accreditation in 2002 but The college was rewarded its accreditation from the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools in April 2022 after 20 years without one.

Tiny lib arts school with an enrollment of under 250 students.

Odd that your picture shows all white people when it's supposedly an African American college

quote:

---

The school has extremely low racial diversity. 100% percent of students are minorities or people of color (BIPOC)

Ive never supported mask or vax mandates or voted for a Democrat so I'm not sure how I support these policies

Aren’t you triple Vaxxed?

I never received the vax. had close family that did due to being in the nursing industry though. so far no complications. Also had family members (immuno-compromised) pass from covid before the vax was released.

You’ve convinced me to get my fifth booster.

The CFR data for age-specific cohorts tells a different story about COVID.

Well let’s talk about CFR.

1. Does the CFR data support on-going COVID vaccinations/boosters for healthy children and young-middle age adults?

Note per the CDC: the COVID vaccination cannot prevent infection or the transmission of COVID.

2. Does the CFR data support masking, physical distancing, remote learning, and all other COVID precautions for healthy kids and young-middle age adults?

Note per Cochrane Review: community masking make little to no difference in the transmission of COVID.

3. Does the CFR data support COVID precautions for previously infected people?

4. What does CFR data indicate about the current policy at Morris Brown College?

5. The only thing the CFR supports is that COVID precautions (vaccinations/boosters, masking, social distancing, etc) may be beneficial for the elderly and people with preexisting medical conditions.

For everyone else COVID is a common cold, no mandates, no precautions… just move on!

1. The white students identified as minorities

2. They should be double masking per CDC guidelines

3. Only single axis for required physical distancing

that is just a stock image. if you reverse image search it has been used since at least as far back as November 2020

Well the last fact is key. The only reason to vaccinate children and younger adults would be if there was a consistent transmission reduction strategy. We never really focused on that other than through nonsensical half-measures on masking, so it made no sense from an epidemiological point of view. I stated as much at the time.

The only caveat for that would be if the rate of MIS (Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome) in children was akin to something like the paralytic poliomyelitis, which was above the 0.1% threshold.

Nah. None of what occurred in terms of the pandemic was what should have been done. In epidemiologic terms, COVID was a unique virus because unlike other pathogens that reached epidemic or potential pandemic status, COVID had no viral exanthems or enanthems, no pathognomonic sign that was indicative of infection within a broader symptomology, which meant that the traditional disease control playbook should have been thrown out the window. Without a pathognomonic sign, people required testing in order to be sure they were infected with COVID, which is nonsensical on its face. The straight-face guidelines on the part of health authorities was that people, who are sick, needed to go out to get a test to confirm they were sick, which was an intensely stupid disease control strategy. Things like closing schools and lockdowns should have been last-line strategies in light of the morphological characteristics of the virus, not first-line.

3. Does the CFR data support COVID precautions for previously infected people?

---

The CFR data supports that COVID is a serious infection with rates above what epidemiologists consider 'epidemic' or 'pandemic' level at higher age-cohorts. Given the rate of reinfections, previous infections aren't a good indicator of future protection due to the mutation rate of the virus.

5. The only thing the CFR supports is that COVID precautions (vaccinations/boosters, masking, social distancing, etc) may be beneficial for the elderly and people with preexisting medical conditions.

Well, given the reality of the health profile of the American population, there are a massive number of adults who would fall into the 'preexisting conditions' category. Even now, you'll see people at elevated BMI levels insist that they are healthy or that they would be 'too skinny' at their height or something. Obesity is going to be a pandemic on its own, but we should stop pretending that one group who is at risk, obese people, is some small number, but rather includes quite a large number of American adults, across every demographic line.
