California State University System Will Mandate COVID-19 Vaccine
KSBW ^ | Jul 27, 2021 | Daniel Macht

The recent spike in COVID-19 cases in California and across the country from the highly infectious delta variant “is an alarming new factor that we must consider as we look to maintain the health and well-being of students, employees and visitors to our campuses this fall," CSU Chancellor Joseph I. Castro said.

Students and staff will be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 before accessing any California State University campus facilities, the nation’s biggest four-year college system said on Tuesday.

The CSU system previously said it was planning to require vaccinations and that a formal mandate would depend on when the Food and Drug Administration gives full authorization to the COVID-19 vaccine.

But the recent spike in COVID-19 cases in California and across the country from the highly infectious delta variant “is an alarming new factor that we must consider as we look to maintain the health and well-being of students, employees and visitors to our campuses this fall," CSU Chancellor Joseph I. Castro said in a release.

The announcement cited "evolving circumstances" in saying that it wouldn't wait for further FDA action. All students and staff must certify they have been vaccinated by Sept. 30.

Several CSU campuses, including Sacramento State, allow people to be vaccinated on campus.

Castro urged students and staff to get vaccinated “as soon as possible.”

“For students who plan to continue their studies but do not wish to come to campus during the fall, it is expected that most campuses will have a more expansive offering of virtual courses as compared to before the pandemic, though resource limitations do not allow for a campus' or even a program's full offerings to be made available virtually,” the university said.

The system will allow people to seek medical and religious exemptions.

The University of California system has also announced that it will require COVID-19 vaccinations with few exemptions this fall.

None with full FDA approval yet. Two have submitted the paperwork for full approval and should hear back by the end of this summer.

And of course, you’re well within your rights to wait and decide however you like. I support choice and oppose mandates, regardless of how poor a decision I think it is to not get vaccinated at this point.

strange..

I think it’s stupid to be a lab rat..

and to assume they will get approval, or kept it if they some how get it.

So you know there is that.

Plus I had covid, so I am much safer than a vaxxer.

No, says every single state:

Virginia reports that 99% of the COVID-19 patients hospitalized or dead in the past 6 months were unvaccinated: https://richmond.com/news/local/as-delta-variant-spreads-in-virginia-nearly-every-recent-covid-case-and-death-is-among/article_a195c5bd-0b84-5e58-a22d-df952de3c540.html

Georgia reports that 99.4% of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in the past 6 months were unavaccinated and 99.8% who died of COVID-19 were not fully vaccinated. https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/new-ga-data-proving-vaccines-work

Florida, where Governor DeSantis stated that 95% are unvaccinated: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3978341/posts

South Carolina, 90% of COVID-19 deaths last month unvaccinated: https://www.live5news.com/2021/07/25/9-out-10-sc-covid-cases-deaths-last-month-were-unvaccinated-report-states/

Texas, 99.5% of COVID-19 deaths since Feb all unvaccinated https://www.texastribune.org/2021/07/21/coronavirus-texas-vaccinated-deaths/

Nationally, of the 18,000 COVID-19 deaths in May, 150 were fully vaccinated. That’s 99.2% unvaccinated. https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-health-941fcf43d9731c76c16e7354f5d5e187

When every state - red and blue and everything in between - sees the same data, and when doctors are all reporting the same thing, you still think they’re just all lying? Every state? Every doctor? Every nurse? All conspiring together?

At what point do you face reality?

Can’t be much of a medical school if it allows the changed definition of vaccine for the experimental genetic treatment, aka, the ‘jab’. How do they explain the naturally immune from say, surviving CoVID and showing t-cell antibodies, while following the directive that DOES HARM - besides forcing the ‘herd’ to be contaminated with the ‘jab’. All for the sake of a phony ‘vaccine passport’.

I'm not saying one way or the other, but, for example, there was a nurse in Florida that said the numbers in Florida were simply not true, based on what's happening on the ground.

The U.K. and Australia also had numbers that weren't like that.

You know damn well the numbers/curve is changing. This or the next “variant “ will be targeting the vaccinated. It’s what viruses do. The mutate to survive.
