George Mason University, Virginia Tech no longer requiring COVID-19 vaccine for students
Quote
FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. — George Mason University, Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia will no longer require the COVID-19 vaccine for students after Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares issued a legal opinion Friday.

   Miyares found that because the state legislature has not passed legislation specifically mandating coronavirus vaccines for students, public colleges and universities don't have the authority to require them.


    In a press release Monday, George Mason University said that while the COVID vaccine is no longer required, students are still strongly encouraged to get vaccinated.

A bit late for that now.  You can't take a 'vaccine' [sic] back.  To remain students, these young people have altered their immune systems for the rest of their lives.  That can't be undone.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-

Ending the mandate was unthinkable until Jan 15, 2022.
