Physiciwns for Informed Consent - News, Stanford: Nearly 1600 sign petition against booster requirement
'Hundreds of people have signed a petition urging Stanford University to repeal its mandate that all students and staff get a booster shot before the end of the month.
Nearly 1,600 people have signed the petition started by Stanford PhD candidate Monte Fischer a week ago asking the school to take back its Dec. 16 decision requiring everyone to get boosters unless they have a medical or religious exemption.
Amid the rapid spread of the omicron variant, Stanford announced it would begin the winter quarter with online instruction for the first two weeks. Starting Tuesday, students returned to in-person classes but must provide documentation of a booster shot by Jan. 31, and some students aren’t having it.
“We are not anti-booster or anti-vaccination,” Fischer writes. “We are pro-bodily autonomy and support the rights of Stanford students to evaluate the data and make their own medical choices.”'
