Student with Guillain-Barre syndrome, 18, is DENIED admission to BYU-Hawaii and loses $200k scholarship for refusing to get COVID vaccine after doctors said it could worsen her condition
Daily Mail ^

An incoming college freshman was denied admission to her dream school and lost $200,000 in scholarships because she would not get vaccinated against coronavirus due to a pre-existing medical condition.

Olivia Sandor, 18, said Brigham Young University–Hawaii (BYUH) denied her fall admission due to state and college vaccination requirements, despite the fact that they had already awarded her scholarship money.

Sandor, who suffers from Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), shared her story on Sean Hannity's Fox News program on Monday night and explained how she'd requested an exemption from the school's vaccination requirement after her team of medical providers advised against her getting the COVID-19 shot.

But the university denied her request for exemption - and told her to re-enroll after getting vaccinated.

Sandor developed GBS after receiving an influenza vaccine in 2019 and was paralyzed from the waist down for over a month as a result.

She said that while attending BYUH was her dream, the risks associated with the coronavirus vaccine do not outweigh the reward.

'I do not want to relapse and have another episode of Guillain-Barre,' she told Hannity. 'It's really, truly not worth it to me.'

Wow, no reasonable medical exemption.

How can this be legal ?

Experimental medicine with no reasonable medical exemption?

If that stands, then it’s Dr. Mengele time.

Yeah, likely not legal, but who is going to force the leftists to change their minds? The leftists play this game far better than conservatives ever will, and they know they will never get punished in today’s society.

WOW, Brigham Young . . .

Maybe you need to be reminded that Paul shrugged off a poisonous snake, clinging to his arm ... into the fire and continued to serve the Lord.

F'n HIPPOCRITES !

Sounds like she dodged a bullet.

She’s better off not going to that university.

Obviously, it is full of Marxists.

I wonder what her major was going to be. UAH (Huntsville, AL) doesn’t have a vaccine requirement and has much better training in math, engineering, and tech than BYUH.

Isn’t BYU-Hawaii pretty much a bunch of Samoans?

Who gets a $200,000 scholarship for a university with a semester's tuition under $6,000? Sourcelink.

No clue ... but BYU is a Charismatic religiously flavored organization.


The mission of Brigham Young University — founded, supported, and guided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — is to assist individuals in their quest for perfection and eternal life.

Non-LDS Tuition & Fees $15,707
Room and Board $9,594
Books and Supplies $1,965

so if she is not on LSD then about 28k per year for costs, 22k for living expenses, so yeah 200k sounds like a free ride with some extras thrown in, but not totally unrealistic.

Sounds like an ADA suit to me.

And those things are easy to file - and win.

"BYUH (seen above) is just one of more than 500 colleges mandating students be fully vaccinated against COVID-19."

That's one of several ways they are going to force the vaccine on individuals. Coming to the workplace near you.
