Indiana University students compare COVID vaccine mandate to Tuskegee experiment

[ericc]

Students at Indiana University are suing the school for requiring students to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The eight students who filed the federal lawsuit allege the university's mandate violates their constitutional rights as well as the state's law.

The students involved in the lawsuit range from incoming freshmen to Ph.D. and law students at the university. The school said there will be consequences for those who refuse the vaccine and do not receive an exemption, including canceled class registration, terminated university-issued IDs, and restricted on-campus activity.

That is the breaks. Just who I want to hire. Whining cry baby college kid who thinks they have rights and can dictate more BS!

[deltgen]

That seems like a pretty good analogy.

Vaccine is schools is absolutely nothing new.

A lot of misinformation out there is leading far too many people to cry that their rights are being violated.

Cherry picking for convenience based on false political narratives that spawned a movement of idiocy across the US.

While you are 100% correct about vaccines in schools (at all different levels) being nothing new, one key element is indeed new; namely that the other required vaccines went through decades of testing, and although they all have the possibilities of side effects, at least we know what those side effects are. This vaccine du jour isn't even close to being the same thing as being innoculated for polio, smallpox, diptheria, hepatitis, and anything else that has become a normal part of our society. That is the reason so many of us are hesitant about it. KVB, your posts usually strike me as rational at least; that what makes it disappointing to me to hear you imply that my beliefs are part of a "movement of idiocy". You're better than that, dude.

This is a different type of vaccine method and the method has been in use and tested for many years.

The movement of idiocy I'm referring to is the wealth misinformation about the vaccine that is causing so many to feel they need to excercise rights.

This notion of being untested and side effects down the road for this particular vaccine just screams of ignorance as to what this vaccine actually does and how it works. People have gone so far as to call it gene therapy and say it affects DNA.

They've gone so far as to say it causes the body to produce toxic proteins. It's one piece of mis info after the next.

Deltgen, with all do respect, the fact that you compare this vaccine to those you mention in the past fits right into that mold of misinformation. It should be obvious why that comparison should not be made. If that's the reason for hesitancy, it's not valid.

This is rational thought. Using actual info and understanding to know that so much of the hesitancy, based on the reasons given, is unwarranted.

I'm ok with hesitancy, and am hesitant myself, but many are hesitant and don't know why, or at least what they know is wrong.

The reason you provide is ridiculous. And again, it's obvoius in the difference between the vaccines.

Sadly, there are a lot of opinions and people telling people what to do, yet they have no clue how these vaccines work.

No clue at all.

That is wrong and everyone should be better than that.

I could be wrong KVB, but I was under the impression that no Mrna vaccine ever got past the testing stage to be in use as in approved to be marketed. Unless by "in use" you mean that they were "in use" for testing purposes.
