Today’s blacklisted American: Rutgers bars student from remote classes because he had not gotten COVID shots
Clowns in charge at Rutgers
They’re coming for you next: Logan Hollar, a student at Rutgers University, was blocked by the college from his university email account as well as attending remote classes because he refuses to get any of the COVID-19 shots that the school is now requiring.
Logan Hollar, 22, told NJ.com he largely ignored the school’s coronavirus mandate “because all my classes were remote” from his Sandyston home, a distance of some 70 miles from the university’s principle campus in New Brunswick.
But he was locked out of his Rutgers email and related accounts when he went to pay his tuition at the end of last month — and was told he needed to be vaccinated even though he has no plans to attend in person, according to the report. “I’ll probably have to transfer to a different university,” Hollar told NJ.com, revealing at least one other student to his knowledge is in the same position.
“I find it concerning for the vaccine to be pushed by the university rather than my doctor,” he told the outlet. [emphasis mine]
The highlighted sentence is the bottom line. What business is it of Rutgers to demand medical treatment on one of its students, if that student is never going on campus to directly interact with any students? None. The university is not his doctor, and is not qualified to act as one.
This action by Rutgers also illustrates the mindlessness that surrounds most government and administrative COVID policies since the epidemic started in 2020. Rules are imposed out of panic and fear, with no rational thought applied. First, it makes no sense to impose masks and mandates on young college students because the virus is incapable of killing them, period. If they get it, the worst that would happen is that they will be sick for a few weeks and then recover fully. A very very very tiny minority might have longer term problems, but the numbers will be somewhat comparable to what we see with the common flu.
Second, Hollar is not even going to enter the college. He will never get within miles of another student, and thus is incapable of getting anyone else sick. To still ban him is so absurd as to be downright stupid. And this is from a college administration, supposedly the home of our society’s intellectual elite.
It is so stupid one wants to laugh, except that the level of stupidity also makes one want to cry.
There is no reason to treat college students in this manner, unless your goal isn’t protecting them from disease but instead demonstrating that you have power over them, and want to show them who is boss. In other words, Rutgers is not interested in teaching rational civilized behavior, it is interested in being a petty tyrant over its students.
Hollar makes a wise decision changing colleges. He needs to go somewhere where civilization and decent behavior is paramount, not power politics and foolishnesss.

San Francisco to require proof of vaccination for children ages 5-11

San Francisco to require proof of vaccination for young children
Under the rules, children ages 5 and up will have to prove they are fully vaccinated to go inside an establishment.
SAN FRANCISCO – Plans are already being made in San Francisco to require children between five and eleven years of age to have proof of a COVID-19 vaccine in order to get into a number of public places.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thousands of intelligence officers could soon face dismissal for failing to comply with the U.S. government’s vaccine mandate, leading Republican lawmakers to raise concerns about removing employees from agencies critical to national security.
Overall, the percentage of intelligence personnel who have been vaccinated is higher than for the American public — 97% at the CIA, for instance. But there are lower percentages in some of the 18-agency intelligence community of approximately 100,000 people, according to Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah.
Citing information that he said had been provided to the House Intelligence Committee but not released publicly, Stewart said several intelligence agencies had at least 20% of their workforce unvaccinated as of late October. In some agencies, as many as 40% are unvaccinated, Stewart said. He declined to identify the agencies because full information on vaccination rates was classified.

Devil’s Advocate:
It is possible remote students may wish to visit the campus. The physical campus has a strict ‘vaccination’ policy. I would think anyone with a valid student ID would be allowed on campus, and assumed to be ‘inoculated’.
I smell a lot of ‘lawyer’ in this reaction, as in, We Don’t Want to Get Sued. Also, insurance companies. Our lives are controlled by people who are afraid of losing money.
