A-plus ... as usual.

Of course, your faculty member would give you an F on this paper and recommend that you be kicked out of college for writing such dangerous misinformation.

I will never ever be over this. My entire family has been ripped apart and shattered by this situation and these lies. My life will never be the same. In any aspect.

Tragic.

The choice is do I want to go to an "elite" college or do I want to take care of my health. College kids are technically grown ups but their parents, peers, and media have a lot of influence over them and sometimes they do need to be protected from the evils of the world just as we all do at times. I just don't understand why so many supposedly intelligent people have fallen for the media's line of crap. We are talking about survival this isn't cub scout stuff. Health should be the number 1 priority, not bragging rights about going to an ivy league school. The Mandates have proven to be unhealthy over and over again. Yet they still push this crime against humanity. Being vaccine injured must be torture. If I was an employer and someone told me they dropped out of school because of the mandates I would shake their hand.

I have 3 kids. My daughter is the middle child and has the ambition and work ethic like no one else! Her goal since she was little was to get into Harvard (She saw that school as the top of the ivy’s so that’s where she set her sights). She is also a conservative. She evolved into one as she critically examined the world, especially during COVID. She of course thought I was a lunatic most of the time. She knew she might have to give up her dreams if the vaccine were to still be mandated and took it in stride joking she we would join a sorority and go to Miami and hang on the beach. What the Ivy’s represent is a goal for people like my daughter who work hard and dream big!

I was able to get my oldest son a medical exemption for his college early because I saw the writing on the wall. I told him just to be cool and fly under the radar. No issues, no testing, no BS. I however was fired from my hospital job (no exemptions) but managed a medical exemption for my college teaching position.

My daughter did not get into Harvard (thank God) but she did get into an Ivy, and the one I’m happy about and was hoping for. No mandates. She will be a conservative minority and that’s a good thing. We cannot totally demonize higher learning in the same way we cannot demonize the trades. We need to improve upon both because I believe there is a place for both.

Right now the “Umbridges” of the world seem to be in charge of the colleges, and we need to reinstate the “Dumbledores” sorry for the Harry Potter reference but it’s all I have on this Sunday morning 😂.

This is no longer about stopping the transmission (vaccines don’t), it’s about countering the anti-vaccine movement. In being so non scientific and dogmatic these universities and the movement writ large are actually worsening people’s views on vaccines.

These colleges are all controlled and influenced by the ACHA which is a left wing, anti American, LGBTQ +++ racist organization. I researched them for weeks and saw the classes they give for their members and who sponsors them. Totally woke organization whose members are our kids nurses, counselors, teachers and healthcare admin. They are totally pro ALL jabs and NO exemptions.

Why is nobody suing these schools? What about class action? Are we waiting for a favorable environment in the courts? While kids die. There must be consequences.

It’s unconscionable that Rutgers is still mandating this. Anyone injured by this mandate should sue the university into the ground. And I say this as an RU graduate. Despicable and evil.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply, Bill. I’ve made that argument to mine but in the end it’s their life, liberty and decision.

(Btw, thanks for your excellent Substack!)
