GOP state lawmakers in New Jersey propose legislation to thwart mandate
Hundreds of students and others converged at Rutgers University recently to take part in a medical freedom rally in protest of the institution’s decision to require the COVID vaccine for students returning to campus this fall.
Participants chanted “my body, my choice,” waved American flags, and held signs demanding their “freedom” at the May 21 event.
The Epoch Times reports the event was organized by Turning Point USA, Young Americans for Liberty, and NJ Stands Up, a medical freedom advocacy group.
Several state lawmakers also attended the rally in support.
The Times reports that a proposal by GOP New Jersey state Assemblywoman Serena DiMaso would “prohibit colleges and universities that receive state or local funding from mandating COVID-19 vaccines or discriminating against students who have not received the vaccine” and that New Jersey Assemblyman Gerry Scharfenberger, a Republican, has introduced a bill that would prohibit discrimination against those who don’t disclose their vaccine status.
Scharfenberger, who spoke at the rally, called for the crowd to fight for its freedom or “you will never get it back.”
“Allowing them to mandate vaccines to get into Rutgers University is a slippery slope. They’re going to keep moving the goalposts until they dictate every aspect of your life,“ Scharfenberger said, according to the Times.
Rutgers University announced in March that it would require students to receive a COVID-19 vaccine before returning to campus with caveats that students may request an exemption for medical or religious reasons and students enrolled in fully remote degree programs are also exempt. Faculty and staff are exempt from the requirement and are only “encouraged” to get the vaccine....

Wasn't Col. Henry Rutgers a Revolutionary War hero?
Good to see some college students have the smarts and guts to stand up to this tyranny!
not if he owned slaves
Great strategy, to use the same arguments that they use in support of abortion.
Ruh Roh! They better be cautious or murphy might have the NJ national guard “Kent State” their rebellious asses.
How long before people are strapped down and forced to take the vaccine?
They laugh at their protests. The students need to take over tue campus and declare it a vaccine free zone. The left does this all the time, look at CHOP.
The most inconsistent aspect of this mandatory ‘vaccine’ for the students at the universities in NJ is the fact that the mandates don’t apply to the employees of these same institutions.
A History degree from Rutgers University is clearly worthless. The head of the History department didn't educate the Legal Department that forcing experimental treatment on individuals was specifically addressed in the permissible experiments section of the Nuremberg Code in 1947. (http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/nuremberg/).
"The great weight of the evidence before us to effect that certain types of medical experiments on human beings, when kept within reasonably well-defined bounds, conform to the ethics of the medical profession generally. The protagonists of the practice of human experimentation justify their views on the basis that such experiments yield results for the good of society that are unprocurable by other methods or means of study. All agree, however, that certain basic principles must be observed in order to satisfy moral, ethical and legal concepts:"
"The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision."
"The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity."
"The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury."
"Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability or death."
"The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment."
"During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible."
Institutions that attempt to force experimental treatments need to be exposed, charged, and dissolved if necessary. Their behavior is no different than korporations who committed atrocities in Nazi Germany at the behest of the government.
It might to potential future employees. I heard the CEO of delta say that the other day about future hires. Age, race, sexual orientation all off limits. Vaccination status, okee dokee. Too bad someone doesn’t have the bank roll to sue these mofos. 😕🐫💨💩
It’s nice to see “My body. My choice” come back to bite the left.
They can’t argue with it either.
If they claim that it’s about others, not just your body, it’s beyond easy to point out the same about abortion.
These “women” are NOT using the successful pro-choice argument that gave women reproductive rights.
The pro-choice argument is “my body my choice”
The pro-choice argument for reproductive rights is
“my baby’s body, my choice”
“How long before people are strapped down and forced to take the vaccine?”
About 2 seconds before we smoke those doing that.
College students rebelling against government?
What’s this world coming to?
Yeah...turned that right around on them!
Rutgers owned slaves. His family were wealthy New York brewers. and He was a Whig Party member.
Any article that puts the word ‘freedom’ in quotation marks should be immediately dismissed.
These “women” are NOT using the successful pro-choice argument that gave women reproductive rights.
The pro-choice argument is “my body my choice”
The pro-choice argument for reproductive rights is
“my baby’s body, my choice”
Faculty and staff are exempt from the requirement and are only “encouraged” to get the vaccine....??????
