Study: COVID campus vaccine mandates saved lives. Are they still in place?

A new study of coronavirus vaccine mandates for students at U.S. colleges and universities suggests the mandates saved about 7,300 lives last fall. 'I thought the study that came out (last month) was telling,' said Daniel Hurley, CEO of the Michigan Association of State Universities, which represents all 15 public universities in Michigan. 'Likely those policies, collectively, saved thousands of lives in this country ... When you put it in those terms, that's significant.' A Free Press spot check showed that many Michigan colleges and universities plan to keep their vaccine policies in place for the new school year.
