Latest Round in the Covid War

Rutgers

Seems some Ivory Tower mental giants are a bit vague on how viruses are transmitted.

The New Jersey university has banned a student from attending classes because he is unvaccinated against Covid. Why this is an issue among those already vaxxed is a mystery to me.

Would you be surprised if the student was attending classes, remotely?

Rutgers bars unvaccinated student from attending virtual classes

Logan Hollar, a student from Rutgers, plans to transfer to another University

By Lee Brown

New Jersey student has said he is barred from taking classes at Rutgers University because he has not been vaccinated — even though he is only studying virtually from home.

Logan Hollar, 22, told NJ.com that he largely ignored the school’s COVID mandate “because all my classes were remote” from his Sandyston home, some 70 miles from Rutgers’ 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 that he needed to be vaccinated even though he has no plans to attend in person.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hollar’s stepfather, Keith Williams — who has been vaccinated — told the outlet he is “dumbfounded” at Rutgers’ stance.

“I believe in science, I believe in vaccines, but I am highly confident that COVID-19 and variants do not travel through computer monitors by taking online classes,” Williams told NJ.com.

Wherever one is on the issue, I think we can agree this is blatant coercion.

Thanks, Rod.

Rutgers apparently misunderstood “antivirus program”.

Finally! Now I completely understand that whole “Computer Virus” thing. ‘splains why I’m such a sick puppy.

Now if I could just “grow up” instead of “grow older”! Then maybe…just maybe, I’d have a chance with OAM.

YGBFSM! People control, not virus control. 18 months into the 14 days to “flatten the curve”.

Sounds like that story from the start of this mess when someone got in trouble for not wearing a mask during a online meeting/class.

I’m pleasantly surprised that Rutgers didn’t first accept the tuition payment before locking the student out of his account and then holding onto the money for as long as they could.

That is the only mistake Rutgers made, at least in their minds.

Did cnn tell rutgers that the virus could be transmitted through the computer as well as talking over a landline dial phone where the wires could carry the ChiCom Virus from the caller to the callee or visa versa.

The “R” on their football helmets doesn’t stand for Rutgers…

That’s for sure.

It is, very very blatantly, all about control of people, not about control of a virus.

This is the higher-education version of kicking a kid out of grade school for a ‘weapon’ because he brought a rubber-band gun to class. Zero-tolerance nonsense where some common sense should prevail.

More like chewing a pop tart into the shape of a gun.

OldManchu

What about kicking out a grade school student from in class session for not wearing a mask…..?

Or a Teacher calling LE on a house because she saw a BB Gun in the background of a Kid’s room during a zoom session? That happened!

Show me your papers, comrade.

Why would anyone want a overpriced diploma from a place like that?

So “My body, my choice” is only applicable to abortions? Hack Stone was under the mistaken impression that the Left don’t want the government interfering with people’s health decisions.

My body, my choice is only applicable when it fits the agenda. I’ve used that on multiple people and they don’t have a response. Independent thought is being discouraged, the government knows what is best for you and the dimwitted are falling for it hook, line and sinker. Marx missed the mark – television and social media, not religion is the opiate of the people.

They believe that if you don’t get vaccinated and you aren’t an illegal immigrant than you will give it to them. Seance science. But if you kill your baby you aren’t hurting anyone at all.

Liberals will do all they can to spare the lives of condemned murderers while openly espousing the wanton killing of Unborn Children, further proof that liberalism is a mental disorder.

A movie ahead of its time…art imitating life…if only we knew it would get worse.

It’s gotten worse since then.

I loved that movie. Too close to prophecy.
We are all trapped on PCU campus.

My body, my choice is only applicable when it fits the agenda. I’ve used that on multiple people and they don’t have a response.That’s because liberals cannot or have a hard time processing information.

Hang tight, Lars will stop by to ‘splain you.

WTAF…😑🤦

The whole POINT of virtual classes was to accommodate people like this. It’s like saying I can’t use the wheelchair lift because I’m a wheelchair user.

He should get vaxxed, tho.

Roh-Dog

“He should get vaxxed, tho.“

Yeah, thanks for the suggestion Doctor. He should also try some leaches or mercury to balance his humors.
I find this in the late summer season keeping a goat’s head in the outhouse as a way to scare away the vapors.
