One nephew attends Boston College. He was part of the swim team outbreak in the fall of 2020. My brother, his father, sent me and our older brother a screed blaming Trump for his son's infection. It was ridiculous. The kids went to a party. Some of the kids got pretty sick but all recovered and the swim season went on. My nephew was fine. He lost his taste and smell for a time.

The other nephew attends RIT. He tested positive during routine screening in the spring 2021 semester but had no/minimal symptoms. He was quarantined by the university in a hotel for about a week.

I saw the jab requirement coming in the early summer. I could not believe my brothers would agree to this without a fight. As I said, these two brothers are not speaking to me so far as I can tell. My older brother's wife, who is double-jabbed with Moderna, didn't believe me when I told her colleges and universities were requiring C19 recovered students to be vaxxed. She later told me that they were both injected and just last week told me about the boosters. She also told me about my niece and my other nephew.

My brothers are idiots. I pray their children don't pay the price for their ignorance and cowardice. I really don't understand. They are not stupid people.

As far as I know, none of them have had any adverse reactions to any of the jabs. They also didn't need them. I would be very concerned about vaxx after a recent infection, though. My children are recent grads. I'm grateful I didn't face this choice.

Perhaps he can take a semester off to see what happens or maybe consider taking class from home. This is so wrong.
