Several Universities Implement Mask Mandates Ahead of School Year

Ahead of the 2022-2023 school year, several colleges and universities have announced that masks will be required on campus to combat the spread of COVID-19.

Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. announced this week that students will be required to wear masks and be vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19 in order to attend classes in person.

The mask mandate applies to classrooms and does not apply to gathering spaces, such as libraries and study rooms. Students will be required to wear a mask on school-sponsored transportation, The New York Post noted. Unless they have approved medical or religious exemptions, all students, staff and visitors are required to be vaccinated and boosted.

Late last month, The Columbus Dispatch reported that Ohio University will reinstate its indoor mask mandate for its 30,000 students.

In a tweet, the university said that the nearby area is at a high transmission level.

OU's mandate applied to all indoor spaces on campus. Revised guidance published on Aug. 17 said that masks would only be required indoors if the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention deems the community transmission level to be "high." If the level is "medium," masks are recommended but not required.

Columbia University announced this month that masking will be required through the end of September “unless public health conditions indicate otherwise.” All students and staff are required to be vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19. University of Delaware has a similar approach and will also begin the fall semester requiring masks for the first few weeks.

Outkick’s Ian Miller slammed the mask mandates at universities in a piece published Wednesday.

How does it ever end for these people?

When do they give up on mandating masks for healthy 20 year olds who’ve already been vaccinated and boosted?

The depressing truth is that they’ll never give up.

Misinformation incompetent officials like Dr. Fauci and Rochelle Walensky have contributed to the endless cycle of pointless and destructive COVID mandates.

Because those same experts are entirely convinced that their useless policies have worked, they’ll never apologize, admit they were wrong, and permanently free college students from the prison of mandates.

Even though more and more studies have emerged confirming that masks and other interventions on college campuses are useless, it simply doesn’t matter.

So to protect the egos of overpaid bureaucrats, countless millions will be forced to endure restrictions on normal life forever.

Julio reported this week how Dr. Anthony Fauci, the soon-to-be retired head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, doubled-down during an interview with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, saying he did everything right in his response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He claimed that his changes to COVID-19 restrictions came as result of the science “evolving.”

"With COVID, I mean, the things that we thought we knew in the beginning turned out as the months went by to not be the case, which really forced us to adapt and to change some of our policies and recommendations," he said in the interview. "That was interpreted by many as flip-flopping or not really knowing what’s going on when it really was the evolution of the science."

As Julio pointed out, one of Fauci’s biggest flip-flops during the pandemic was his support for non-medical grade masks.

It’s all about teaching COMPLIANCE….
...not “following the science”:

Masks are:

1) a sign of submission, subversion and subjugation
2) mandated in order to dehumanize
3) virtue signaling devices
4) meant to provide constant reinforcement of fear
5) used to destroy community, friends and family normal communication
6) implemented to create isolation, confusion, anxiety, destroy human connectivity, trust and interactions
7) mandated to exacerbate illness
8) intended to aid in the abandonment of the belief and reliance on our immune systems
9) intended to refute integrous science
10) signal to positions of power that you are willing to give up all of your rights and freedoms based on anything they say, even if it is a BIG FAT LIE!

So evidently OSU decided to follow the CDC variant of "science" after all:

OU's mandate applied to all indoor spaces on campus. Revised guidance published on Aug. 17 said that masks would only be required indoors if the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention deems the community transmission level to be "high." If the level is "medium," masks are recommended but not required.

Apr 22, 2022 — Masks are no longer required indoors in California, with a few exceptions. But they are still strongly recommended/encouraged.

Georgetown University will soon require students to wear Mao head and arm-bands. Trust me. This university has become a PC, quasi-MARXIST snakepit of insane leftism. It started in about 1969/70 when a handful of SDS terrorists took over one of the administration’s offices and the administrators did nothing to stop them.

Then it supported the communist Sandinistas in Nicaragua, and later gave use soon-to-be rich bitch Susan? Fluke and her weird leftist feminism screeds. Georgetown Law School graduate too.

No wonder we are in trouble.

Ohio State or Ohio university?

I’ve been to a couple of doctor’s offices this week. Some are still requiring masks. When the office workers tell you this you can see how tired they are of the whole thing. Today, a woman behind her plastic shield told me I needed a mask, and one would be provided. The topmost edge of her mask was even with her lower lip. I took the mask and said nothing.

[glorgau]

Nah, I’ve gone to doctor’s and dentist offices and when asked that just turn around and leave.

Does anybody even die of this anymore? Or are they dying by the millions and hiding it to keep people from getting mad at Bidung?

“Reported 2 VAERS cases of teenagers who presented to us after ER visits for unexplained chest pain and fever. Had never reported a case to VAERS in my previous 6 years of practice in pediatrics”

“I’ve been a nurse x 20 years and currently working in a local ER and when the vaccine first rolled out my hospital wasn’t asking if they had been vaccinated or not so no one was really following the vaccinated by keeping track of their injuries. I never witnessed or saw anyone reporting to VAERS although I was putting it in their charts whether they were vaccinated and I would report to VAERS with the pt’s permission. It took about 6 months after vaccine rollout to add the question in triage note whether they had the Covid vaccine. I was and I am still seeing a huge increase of heart patients mostly vaxxed with new onset afib, new onset CHF, V-tach, Myocarditis, chest pain, and Heart attacks. Also seeing increase of stroke pt’s, cancer and those presenting with syncope and high blood pressure. We usually keep green tops to draw blood specifically troponin levels and there’s a national shortage most likely due to the amount of cardiac patients we are seeing. I also have been having trouble personally getting to see my own cardiologist due the amount of patients they are seeing.

One patient told me he had multiple blood clots removed from his body and had pictures to show me/said he got those after the 2nd shot and then was told it was “safe” to get the 3rd shot so he did and now has a tumor on his spine and can’t walk.

I’m also now seeing the vast majority that have been vaccinated present with COVID. Maybe 1-2 percent are unvaxxed. Few vaccinated present with severe symptoms but hardly see any unvaxxed and if they are they have had natural immunity or no severe case. It’s very very rare to see an unvaxxed pt that has had covid before present to the ER with covid again, but like I said it’s very common to see a vaccinated pt that may or may not have had covid before present with Covid.

I have refused to take the experimental shot and got let go last year x 1 week but thanks to DeSantis and the Legislators they reinstated me and accepted my religious exemption.”

Currently there are 93.

I’m an OSU alum. A letter six months ago requesting a donation I returned with $0.00 marked as donation.

My comment for donation amount was, “I don’t contribute to Liberal Marxist Shit Holes” They obviously didn’t get the message because another request came yesterday thanking me for my prior donation.

Truly a bunch of retards in Alum office these days.

Wow. “Students will be required to wear masks and be vaccinated.” Why? Are more than 0.2% of the students dying of the flu? Sheesh. Control freaks are not smart.

A shaman, dancing around with chicken feathers and a rattle, while under the influence of magic mushrooms, has more credibility than St. Fauxxi (Doctor of Science).
All this for an experimental mRNA that killed all of its animal testing subjects during testing trials
You can fix and educate the ignorant
but you can't fix the intentionally stupid zealots !

Where is the story of any of these schools being challenged with a ‘permission slip’ that in exchange for complying with the school’s CoVID demands, the school accepts all medical expense from CoVID effects from the inoculations?

This should be a student’s first adult decision, and should be made from that point of view.
