2a now you’re just being ridiculous. These are being increasingly mandated across the board for all ages, and not all people and families are in a situation where they have that many options.
Not a single college or university in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, or Wyoming require a COVID-19 vaccine. And in a bunch of other states (e.g. Iowa, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, etc.) there’s just one college or university in the whole state requiring a COVID-19 vaccine.
In all, a bit under 600 colleges and universities are requiring a COVID-19 vaccine for the fall semester, and many of them are in California and New York (the places you’d expect that anyway). And hey, maybe that sounds like a lot, until you realize there are 5,300 colleges and universities in the United States.
So if you don’t want to have a COVID-19 vaccine, but you do want to go to college, your choices are reduced by a whopping 11%. Now who’s just being ridiculous?
