Student organization speaks out against U of I vaccination mandate – Center Square

The student activist group Young Americans for Liberty is critical of the mandate. Said its chief of staff Sean Themea, “We should all have the right to choose whether or not to take the vaccine. That shouldn't preclude somebody from getting an education.”

Considering that the most recent CDC guidance makes no distinction between vaxxed and unvaxxed infections, and that the majority (avg 60ish%) of C19 deaths over past several months are “breakthrough” (read “quad vaxxed”), it makes you wonder why anyone would still be hanging on to mandates.

What do they expect when they are attending Marxist Universities. These students will be indoctrinated not educated. If U of I wants to continue down this path I hope they lose a significant student body population. If they don’t lift it, students like these should find other Universities to attend that are not quite so radical.

Great to hear there’s a backlash from students at U of I. NO ONE should be forced or, in this case, coerced, into injecting an experimental vaccine into his/her body.

“Mandating” young people, not the virus’ target demographic, to expose themselves to the various and life-altering adverse effects of the vaccine in order to attend classes is wrong on so many levels. It’s a violation of human rights.
