Have you SEEN some of the people who identify as Far Left who have degrees? AOC has a degree in Economics. The defense rests.

She got a good paying government job complete with a slush fund (okay, campaign account) among a group that routinely turns broke ass people into millionaires after just a few short terms in office...

And do not think this is not a huge reason for the decline in college enrollment. You see AOC with a degree and ask why you would pay for an education that turns out THAT.

It seems like the only argument vaxers are making is "go to college so you do as you are told without thinking for yourself."

Keep using yourself as an example of "thinking for yourself". It's great comedy.

Most colleges require a long list of vaccines. I do not understand this back and forth. I can say from experience in NJ certainly every State College does. I don't know why people would think COVID-19 vaccines would be the exception to this list of vaccines...

Here is Rutgers Immunization page for the original point about Rutgers:

There are some exceptions for different type of students (for example people living on campus dorms need more), some programs (medical and science programs that involve clinicals and/or lab exposure require more), but even the standard list for regular non-housing students is long....

I don't know why people are so flabbergasted that colleges are requiring a vaccine, especially one for an ongoing crisis. This is standard as new vaccines are introduced. And, has happened through history, and will likely continue to happen far into the future....

They'd rather have students well, than sick.

That doesn't mean her economic positions are at all defensible. At least, not using math...which economists tend to lean upon pretty heavily.

She's an incredible self-promoter, though, I've got to give her that. Basically the Left's answer to Donald Trump, if you really think about it. Or, maybe he was the Right's answer to her...I don't know.

Any physical location being operated by a particular person, or entity, should be permitted to require whatever they want. Anyone who doesn't like it can simply choose to go somewhere else.

That said, any students who do choose to go somewhere else (and have already paid prior to the vaccine being demanded for participation) should be entitled to a full refund for any services not yet rendered.

Coming from someone in the "just do as you are told to do" that means I am doing things right.
