Exactly one month following the start of its fall term, Harvard Business School announced Monday it has moved all of its first-year MBA students and some of its second-year students to remote learning this week due to “a steady rise in breakthrough” COVID-19 infections among its student population. Students, faculty, and staff at universities across the country have feared these types of on-campus breakthrough infections.
Harvard requires that all community members—students, faculty, staff, and researchers—be vaccinated. As of Sept. 22 figures, 96% of Harvard employees and 95% of Harvard students were vaccinated. That’s a much higher vaccination rate than the U.S. adult population, which currently lands at just more than 64% vaccinated. As of Monday, HBS students have been asked to learn remotely through the weekend. “In recent days, we’ve seen a steady rise in breakthrough infections among our student population, despite high vaccination rates and frequent testing,” HBS spokesperson Mark Cautela said in a statement on Monday. “Contact tracers who have worked with positive cases highlight that transmission is not occurring in classrooms or other academic settings on campus,” Cautela added. “Nor is it occurring among individuals who are masked.” Harvard University, which Fortune ranks as having the No. 1 full-time MBA program in the country, was advised by city and state public health officials to move MBA students to remote learning from Sept. 27 to Oct. 3, Cautela said in a statement. The school also asked students to eliminate unmasked indoor activities and limit in-person interactions with people outside of their household. They’ve also asked that group gatherings be moved online and that travel be cancelled. Harvard has also increased its COVID-19 testing frequency to three times per week, and will send a daily email to all students with updates on “all aspects of the situation,” Cautela said in a statement
Masks, testing & limited contact with people outside of the household. Have to wonder what the purpose of the vaccine is at this point?
What does an MBA from Harvard cost?
Isn’t one of the main advantages of a Harvard MBA the connections you make at school?
The vaxxes are working exactly as designed—they make otherwise normal folks into superspreaders!
Still wondering where the break through data is on previously infected natural immunity people.
Headline yesterday was Harvard bragging over 100% vax rate at their business school
Through this method of questioning, answering, cutting and pasting...
Uh, I guess you’ll make “virtual” connections.
Why are they all “breakthru” cases if 95% are fully vaccinated? seems to me they are Vaccine Created Cases
Covid new cases are in a precipitous decline: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_dailycases
The jab does not appear to be working very well at Harvard.
If one is single, the total cost is around 110K per year...
But, one might qualify for tuition assistance.

The story has gone from the vaccine prevents you from getting covid, to the vaccine minimizes your symptoms of covid.
Both my 78 year old unvaccinated parents(in marginal health) got covid. Neither of them even knew they had it. So what’s the point of the vaccine?
100 percent vax to slow the curve of breakthroughs at Hahvad.
Yeah, that’s the ticket!
I view that as a good thing. Fewer Harvard MBa’s to screw the world up!
Which, with an illness that already varies so much in terms of virulence from person to person, is absolutely impossible to prove or disprove.
Even if everyone is vaccinated the vid wont go away. It will merely keep bouncing around among the vaccinated until it mutates into something the vaccine can’t handle. Then the hospitalizations and deaths will rise. Boosters will be required.
The “vaccines” don’t work. The booster shots won’t either. Maybe everyone at Harvard Business School should get some “horse paste.”
The left has a euphemism for any word they don’t like. Breakthrough is just their way of soft pedaling the fact that people with the Jab have no protection whatsoever.
Just more Newspeak
Breakthrough infections are probably like seasonal flu infections, which happen because viruses change.
It is up to the CDC, vaccine makers & the FDA to ensure vaccines are updated.
For every fall, flu vaccines designed to fight the current flu strains are prepared.
