A New York college student who became ill after receiving her second COVID-19 shot has been expelled from school after she refused to take a booster shot on the advice of her primary care physician.
Diamond Ellie Puentes, 20, was attending Union College on a scholarship when she was expelled from school and told she had mere days to pack up and leave the campus. She had made numerous attempts to gain a medical exemption from the booster.
“I was in class, I received an email stating, ‘you have been unenrolled and you have 72 hours to leave campus,’” Puentes told The Daily Wire in a phone interview.
Puentes always had reservations about the COVID-19 vaccine, citing her age, worries about adverse effects, and how quickly the vaccine was developed and put to market. “It kind of freaked me out a little bit,” she told The Daily Wire.
