It's an overly long article building Phoebe up as some kind of wonderful, exceptional student and person while mocking Covid vaccines as dangerous and risky. I couldn't stomach the whole article, but I suppose she refused the vaccine and lost enough of her scholarships that she had to drop out.

Unless OP changed the link, the currently linked article doesn’t mock vaccines at all - it actually seems to support both the vaccines themselves and UConn’s policy.

It does let many of Phoebe’s claims go unchallenged, but overall I think it tells the story of a girl who was given many chances to continue her education and chose to throw it all away.

She was actually given a non-medical exemption for vaccination. But then she refused to do the weekly testing that was required (after an initially confusing email where she thought it was optional), using increasingly dubious excuses to refuse multiple different tests.

Bottom line is she did this to herself. She chose to die on this hill rather than continue her education.
