Rutgers University Requiring COVID Vaccines for Students Returning to Campus in Fall

Rutgers University will require students returning to campus this fall to prove they’ve been vaccinated against Covid-19, becoming one of the first institutions in the U.S. to mandate the immunizations.

Rutgers President Jonathan Holloway announced the change Thursday, saying in a statement the university plans to update its immunization requirements for students on campus to include the Covid-19 vaccine.

Students will have to prove they’ve been fully vaccinated with any of the three shots currently cleared for use in the U.S. — Pfizer’s, Moderna’s or Johnson & Johnson’s — though students who are under 18 years old will only be eligible for the Pfizer shot. Pfizer’s is the only vaccine authorized by the FDA for use in people as young as 16.

Students who are fully enrolled in online courses without access to on-campus facilities will be exempt from getting vaccinated, according to the statement, as well as those with medical or religious reasons that prohibit immunization.....

And so it begins.

Yup. I believe this is the mark.

[organicchemist]

All those hoops and at the end you’re at RUTGERS?

They required I get vaccinated for hepatitis before I matriculated to university back in the 90s. Most students aren’t going to care.

[Vendome]

Nope

It is under EUA not approved by FDA

No can do...

“Students will have to prove they’ve been fully vaccinated.”

Unethical requirement for a post-graduate high school degree.

This needs to be challenged and hard.

1) They are experimental vaccines.
2) Big Pharma is except from lawsuits.
3) COVID has a 99.5% survival rate.
4) Will Rutgers be libel if anyone students are harmed from their mandatory inoculation requirement?
5) If a student is a Christian Scientist who are against vaccines, what then? Is this a religious violation and if they are except, what about others?
6) So if Rutgers can force a Vaccine, what about an abortion for a female student?
7) Can I require other health procedures for people who patronize my business?

The government wants to make this mandatory but does not want to be the one to do it. Instead, they are allowing business such as Royal Caribbean and Rutgers to do it for them.

I think we will start seeing Soviet-style Internal Passports to allow people to travel.

The vaccine is in experimental phase. It has not been approved by the FDA

They have no legal standing. Dopes

[Jane Long]

Excellent questions, all.

Push back, indeed.

[RBW in PA]

I swear there is something more nefarious with this vaccine hysteria and push to inoculate the world. Wouldn’t it be something if at some point in the future they can add something to the food supply that will negatively react to the vaccine. They could wipe out entire regions and Bill Gates would have is population control. I know this is way out there, but I do not trust the government at all.

[captain_dave]

Liable, not libel. 😉

[Jane Long]

I don’t put anything past anything connected to FRAUDci/Gates.

[T.B. Yoits]

Gonna be tough for a state school to avoid lawsuits.

This is no different than all that falls under the Americans with Disabilities Act. How is Rutgers going to accommodate students with different needs?

[Kozak]

BFD. Most schools require a flu vaccine too.

[cranked]

Bet. Leftist DEMs don’t want folks to produce IDs to vote, but you sure as hell have to produce an ID for virtually anything else done in life. And guess what. Now they going to want you to produce COVID ‘passports’ to attend their Leftist academic propaganda institutions.....

[edhawk]

And they are not requiring faculty to get the vaccine.

[Bigg Red]

Yep
