California State University to Implement COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement for Fall 2021 Term

Press release from California State University:

The California State University announced today that it will require faculty, staff and students who are accessing campus facilities at any university location to be immunized against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Because of evolving circumstances, the university is announcing the pending requirement now without waiting for any further action by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Dates by which faculty, staff and students must certify vaccination will vary by campus due to differences in academic calendars, but all certifications must be completed no later than September 30.

“The current surge in COVID cases due to the spread of the highly infectious Delta variant is an alarming new factor that we must consider as we look to maintain the health and well-being of students, employees and visitors to our campuses this fall,” said CSU Chancellor Joseph I. Castro. “Receiving a COVID vaccine continues to be the best way to mitigate the spread of the virus. We urge all members of the CSU community to get vaccinated as soon as possible, and announcing this requirement now allows members of the CSU community to receive multiple doses of a vaccine as we head into the beginning of the fall term.”

Several CSU campuses are serving as host facilities for vaccine distribution. CSU employees or students who wish to receive a COVID-19 vaccine should contact their campus for availability.

For students who plan to continue their studies but do not wish to come to campus during the fall, it is expected that most campuses will have a more expansive offering of virtual courses as compared to before the pandemic, though resource limitations do not allow for a campus’s or even a program’s full offerings to be made available virtually.

The CSU’s COVID-19 vaccination policy will allow students and employees to seek medical and religious exemptions.

For represented employees the university’s requirement will take effect immediately upon implementation of the policy; however, represented employees will not be subject to disciplinary action while the CSU is in the meet and confer process with its labor unions.

The university will share a final policy in the coming days.

Those who seek exemptions should only be allowed to participate in virtual activities. If they are seeking medical exemptions, they should not be allowed to be on campus for any reason as medical exemption individuals are generally more likely to be infected and this endangers others. Those seeking religious exemptions should also be only allowed virtual access. If they are truly religious, they will understand it is selfish to put others at risk. They should also understand their religion is just that, theirs and not force themselves upon everyone else.

Why do you feel like you have the right to endanger others. I didn’t say force the vaccine. I said don’t let them put others at risk. The evidence is clear that unvaccinated individuals are the vast majority of new infections. So, out of courtesy for others (Not readily a characteristic of anti-vaxers) feel free to decline the vaccine, just stay the hell away from me and others.

If that’s your position, that’s fine and you are probably correct. But quit pretending it isn’t forcing. Own it proudly, honesty on the subject would be refreshing for once. If you can’t get a education, have employment, buy food, get a permit, etc, it’s forcing. Don’t know why you’re scared of the word

Alf, Alf, Alf,

Or should I say, Mr. Shumway?
Let’s not be so hasty. Breathe.
Has Dr. Hoffman’s latest info not reached Melmac yet?

It was just recently released, breaking news, you might say.

Well within a day or so, anyway.

Did you miss the memo? Delta Variant infections are now projected to currently be 50%, or more, among the vaccinated.

50/50. Or more!

Read ’em and weep!

Aaand,

I know what you’re already thinking, but,don’t be too hasty with your ready reply…

Yep, you didn’t guess it, the vaccinated are spreading it, too.

Check it out!

Just think what an enhanced opportunity that creates for you!

The pool of potential subjects you can justify demonizing just doubled.

It’s all inclusive now.

It even includes you!

Isn’t that special?

Now, beings that’s “hot off the press”, I wonder if HSU will have to rethink things, and also have to exclude that nasty, contagious vaccinated crowd that is going around infecting others, hither and yon?

Those inconsiderate so and so’s !

What could they be possibly thinking?

Do they feel like they have the right to endanger others?

They should not all be banished!

Nor Ostracized!

Zey shouldt not only be allowed to participate in wirtual actiwities!,

Zey shouldt be allowed on campus for any reason!,

Aaant, zey shouldt not try to worce zemzelwes on zey uzzehrs!

If zey are truly religious , zey will unterstandt…

Zat ziss iss America!

You don’t have a right to virus free air because that is impossible. 50 years ago science said that all bacteria was dangerous. We now know that was false and that widespread use of antibiotics turned out to be a misguided effort at health.

We are just beginning to acknowledge the existence of the virome and we do not understand the the role of viruses in nature at all.

So it’s been un vaccinated people who are getting infected most right? So why are they a danger to people that have been vaccinated? Also what about people with natural immunity. All the studies done so far show less than a 1% reinfection rate .7% to be exact, whereas the vaccination is only 95% effective..

Most exemptions for all vaccines in CA for all schools are over this month, there was a list of basically all doctors that ever wrote them stating that they are no longer recognized. These Dr’s were mainly in it for the money just like 215 script writing doctors. Sure falling in line and getting vaccinated is sheepish, but it’s a public health initiative. You don’t want to do it, then you don’t go to school.

Then, again, if you were someone who lived near Arcata—and weren’t involved in a financial aid/family money extraction industry, you’d welcome the absence of students (provided they remained in Southern California.)

It has been headed this way ever since the release of the original VAXXED documentation. Nothing will be allowed to stand in the way of the religious state/phar·ma·ceu·ti·cal combination. All dissenters will be rigorously persecuted. Why hasn’t the FDA approved the vaccines that have killed 9000+ and hospitalized 27,000? What are they waiting for?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this seems to be in violation of the Nuremberg Code passed in 1947 after WW11. It seems the Nazis were experimenting on people without their “Informed Consent”.

If I want to attend HSU and I don’t want to take an unapproved experimental mRNA “vaccine” then what are my options? IF the jab was APPROVED by the FDA it is still a violation in my pea brain. How can we have informed consent when there are no long term trials observing possible side effects? Last time I checked, the package insert sheets are BLANK. How can one have informed consent when even the ingredients are NOT LISTED?

“The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment.”

Good catch.

If I may add, we’re also not discussing a Fleetwood Mac album; those guys with crowbars, masks & robes from Star Wars who pop up from behind dunes like they’re in a Mel Gibson spin-off movie; nor central Italians.

But, it’s exceedingly messed up—and, likewise, most educated consumers wouldn’t be caught dead in attendance at all these low-rent PFE and JNJ disposal events where the jabbing/loading/cramming/spiking occurs for merely the prize of one (1) prefabricated marijuana cigarette, or taco.

Especially since you can now cop a cool $100 Cuomo stimulus for submitting to the shot in NYC.

In relative terms, adjusted for the regional market, that’s at least two to three prerolls fully loaded with primo 2020 wildfire full-term—if you shop at the right places. Or, probably a full rack of those canned Trumpnik Puerto Rican frijoles AOC wants you not to buy while she “present” non-vote-votes for zillions more $ in Capitol Police funding to extend all over the country. Cuz @#defund.

Prof. Quiz,

I have addressed your concerns before.

The blank package insert sheets are all you need to know.

But you must read between the lines, so to speak.

The blank sheets are not provided to inform you of anything at all.

The danger is implied by the fact that those sheets are being provided to you at no charge are in order to establish clearly, that you have definitely been given an opportunity to write out your last will and testament.

What surprises me is that you are not offered a cigarette before the shots.

I thought that was standard procedure.

Many countries require proof of many vaccination to enter, including and especially the USA. An immigrate visa requires proof of vaccination for 20+ diseases. It is established CA law, upheld by the courts, to require vaccinations to attend in-person schooling. These laws are meant to protect public health. If you don’t agree with them run for office, sue the government, file a complaint with the United Nations! Good luck.

You were like, (slight paraphrase, perhaps), “uh, well, well, well, the one thing I know after two years, and more millions of dollars than I can remember, spent on the dream team to bust trump, the first feeble time, all we got was undeniable proof that the Russian chatbots (!!!), whose only activity was saying not nice things about the rightful heiress (on blogs) (!!!)…yeah, those supervillains! They stole the Empire from Hilary! And they are a threat to Democracy! And, and, and Bad!”

“Jab” is BRITISH terminology.

Why has it become the dominant term for American anti-vaxxers?

The term JAB is used because technically this substance does not qualify as a vaccine. Although I heard they changed the definition to match the narrative. Basically in my Pea Brain a vaccine has an attenuated “weakened” version of the target illness. That means the weakened version is introduced so your immune system can recognize the threat and form antibodies to fight it without posing a threat. Thus when you are exposed to the real threat your antibodies attack with a vengeance.

But what the hell do I know? I’m not a doctor! Why don’t we ask Dr Science?

It might reasonably be supposed, that—given mounting evidence—Americans typically tend to fancy displaying dominance whilst jabbing.

Or, had your overweening nutritionist colleagues not previously informed you?

You’d certainly agree it’s imperative that the most educated amongst you be receptive to medical advice.

Am I not mistaken?

Interesting intro, wish I could read the whole thing .

I think that “jab” serves all sorts of different purposes for different people. To me it very accurately reflects the violence inherent in the insistence that all people accept these injections as fast possible.

For others I believe it provides an alternative to vaccine of they don’t feel that is an appropriate term for this new technology.

For others I think that it is mostly just about being a part of a global issue and using an international term to reflect that .

Either way, it’s interesting and I think that the choice to push it to the forefront is a public health messaging choice that will be put under some study after this has passed

I lost all respect for NPR after Barack Obama got elected, whom I voted for, and continue to do the same fuckedupshit as George W. But instead of NPR spending all day bashing Obama, they spent all day praising him for doing the same things that they used to bash bush for. Since then the hypocrisy has just gotten worse and worse and worse, to the point where I dropped the Democrat Party and became a registered independent.
