Here's the problem, as I'm in a similar situation, the colleges aren't "forcing" you to take the vaccination. They are saying that you are not allowed on campus unless you are vaccinated. This is really a distinction without a difference but legally it's a loophole. Of course there is an argument to be made that this is depriving the student of the education they signed up for, but that would have to be adjudicated separately.
What is personally frustrating is watching this community lose focus on what the solution really is. All we need to do is FORCE the FDA to acknowledge there are effective treatments for Covid and the vaccine issue "should" go away for good. But we are all fighting the wrong fight, imo.
I agree that the law concerning forced vaccinations of experimental vaccines appears unambiguous to us. However we just witnessed a court in Texas allow a hospital to fire 150 nurses who refused the vaccine. It's on appeal of course, but the case was lost and we can't deny that. So this going head to head against Colleges is likely going to fail, although I support the effort.
So my money is on an effort to force the FDA to acknowledge the dozens of peer reviewed studies they have been sitting on for months. We don't have much time, we have to start talking this up and get the attention of the folks in congress who may be able to get this done.
The state AG even weighed in on this particular college trying to force students to provide proof of Covid vaccine. He literally said “you can’t do that”. It’s the only college in the state that I know of being so forceful about Covid vaccines. I believe our legislature passed a bill banning vaccine passports.
I don’t trust the FDA anymore. They may fast-track these vaccines to be approved and once they are the whole country will start mandating them no matter how you feel. FDA is part of the fed and most of the fed as we’ve been discovering is corrupt and crooked
