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.

Ending the mandate was unthinkable until Jan 15, 2022.
