Students at Cornell University can use their status as a “person of color” to be exempt from the university’s flu vaccine requirement.
“Students who identify as Black, Indigenous, or as a Person of Color (BIPOC) may have personal concerns about fulfilling the Compact requirements based on historical injustices and current events,” explains Cornell Health’s vaccine requirement FAQ.
Students can send a private message to Cornell Health in order to request a non-medical or non-religious exemption for the immunization. For more information, the FAQ links to a page “especially for students of color,” which is meant to help minority students concerned about the flu vaccine requirement.
“We recognize that, due to longstanding systemic racism and health inequities in this country, individuals from some marginalized communities may have concerns about needing to agree to such requirements,” explains the page. “For example, historically, the bodies of Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) have been mistreated, and used by people in power, sometimes for profit or medical gain.”
The university, therefore, considers it “understandable that the current Compact requirements may feel suspect or even exploitative to some BIPOC members of the Cornell community.”
Nevertheless, Cornell strongly encourages minority students to receive immunizations

China doesn’t have this insanity. Guess who wins?
Great - a proposal to give it to people “of color” first and then give them an exception for not taking it. I don’t get it but I guess we’re not supposed to.
They have to keep reminding “these people” that they are to keep complaining about being treated differently than other people...keep up the resentment!!! Don’t let them forget it!!!
We have a bunch of very mentally sick people in this country in positions of power....
Now the problem is...they have high numbers. Could it possibly be connected to the protests?? Duh...
“White is a color.”
Hmmm, if I remember correctly, white contains ALL the visible colors. Of course, the science-challenged studies folks & politicians never got past the third grade science project volcano.
Science dummy?
Well, the media and studies are for you. Sign up now!!
Easy As, terrible debt, and no chance of actually learning anything useful.
What utter BS! Pity the poor parents who shell out a quarter million dollars for their child’s “education” at this madhouse.
I seriously dont think anyone with a brain should now even consider taking these vaccines.
The libtard idiots ignore the fact white people unwittingly were test subjects for drugs and stuff along the way as well,
Its not just minorities tha got screwed over by government and drug/vacine makers throughout our history.
We have toget rid of these idiots over us if we ever hope to live in freedom and peace from government, again.
Evil idiots, i must cladify
Evil idiots
That is pretty racist of Cornell.
Now that you mention it, that’s actually not all that far-fetched of an idea. Disturbing at the very least.
White people must be compliant to the new socialist BLM order.
Remember during the BLM /Antifa riots, how you were immune to the CCP virus?
I identify as a female identifying as a male lech.
Ridiculous.
So much for “equality”
Lol. They’re talking about a flu shot.
It must be great fun being a prankster at Cornell. You could suggest all sorts of crazy things. And if they sound politically correct, the administration will adopt it.
I think I’ll give it a try.
The word Nazi starts with an “n”. Therefore I demand that the “n” be dropped from the name Cornell. From now on, the university must be called Corell.
I can “identify” as black and skip the vaccine!
Cool!
White, black, brown, red are all colors.
Nah, it’s a racist ploy to save all the vaccinations for the white folks.
Actually Covid does affect people of color more. Washington state posts the racial statistics of cases now, with whites and Asians having the lowest number.
I think all the states might be doing that now if you want to go to your state and scroll to the racial breakdown.
Part of the reason it affects people of color more is that often there are multi-generational families and in Washington state the county with the most migrant workers crowded together is the most affected.
