Why Are Universities Pushing Covid Vaccination?

Resistance is Futile: Why Are Universities Pushing Covid Vaccination? Guest Post by Matthew G. Andersson, April 27, 2021

“As an MIT PhD in Biological Engineering who studies & does research nearly every day on the Immune System, the coronavirus fear mongering by the Deep State will go down in history as one of the biggest frauds to manipulate economies, suppress dissent, & push Mandated Medicine.” Dr.Shive Ayyadurai

“The state has no interest in vaccinating people where transmissibility is not reduced or relevant.  It cannot mandate submissive behavior that is an experiment on humans, which violates the Nuremberg Code.”  Dr. Harvey Risch, Yale School of Public Health, 8 March 2021

“Beyond the unknown long-term health effects of the vaccines, there are ethical and moral questions that religiously observant Americans are likely taking into account. In March, the Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans issued a statement urging Catholics not to get the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, which it called “morally compromised” because of its “extensive use of abortion-derived cell lines.”   John Daniel Davidson, The Federalist

The "Chicago School": What It Really Is and Why It Matters

The "Chicago School": What It Really Is and Why It Matters: Guest column by Matthew G. Andersson (posted February 12, 2021, by Mary Grabar): 

[A] return to normalcy will require subduing radical factions that agitate for oppression. Restrictions such as mask mandates are like oxygen to followers of radical fundamentalist Covidianism — the abiding belief that only lockdowns, social distancing, and masks can deliver us from the deadly pandemic. The longer mandates stay in place and experts continue promoting mask use — “My mask protects you! Your mask protects me!” — the stronger and more widespread the extremism will grow, and the less influence experts will have over their behavior.  Georgi Boorman] The Federalist, 22 September 2020

Non-objective law is the most effective weapon of human enslavement: its victims become its enforcers and enslave themselves.  Ayn Rand, The Nature of Government

Universities and colleges are working to adapt and respond to a mix of information, signals and intentions concerning the Covid phenomenon, especially involving what conditions will be imposed in order to fully “re-open”  (the assumption that a state of normalcy will greet everyone at the other end of current “lockdown” and other related “orders,” is not reasonable). Those have fairly significant policy implications that may range from screening, testing and vaccination (increasingly seen as “at gunpoint”), to tracing, profiling and tracking, among other authoritarian methods under consideration, including “health passports.”  The modern university campus may eventually resemble the modern airport in how students, faculty, staff, alumnae and visitors are processed, screened and approved for entry onto the campus and its facilities.  The scope of such institutional reactions will be comprehensive, as the reputational stakes are thought high: divergent thinking, or a challenge to consensus, is often deemed dangerous, conspiratorial, or even sociopathic.

Samizdat, Beautiful Italy, January 10, 2021

Posted by Mary Grabar, January 10, 2021: What is samizdat? I learned about it while taking a two-week writing seminar in Prague. According to Merriam-Webster it was a method "by which government-suppressed literature was clandestinely printed and distributed." This happened in the Soviet Union and "countries within its orbit." Recent events have reminded me of that lecture by a writer who had experienced such persecution and censorship. So please distribute this link via Dissident Prof and not the article or video because they are being censored and blocked by social media. Thank you.
