In response to COVID-19, Cornell University requires that students returning to campus must receive a flu shot.
That’s not a type-o: they want you to have a flu shot… to battle Covid.
Obviously the flu shot doesn’t protect you from COVID-19. But hey, this isn’t the first COVID response that makes absolutely no sense.
But it does indicate that Cornell, and other universities, might require students to receive a COVID vaccine when they become widely available.
In fact, in its “Behavioral Compact” which Cornell forced students to agree to before returning to campus, the very first line states,
“Until there is an effective vaccine for COVID-19, we live in a world of significantly enhanced community and personal health risks.”
The compact goes on to explain how everyone has a responsibility to adhere to the safety requirements, not just for themselves, but to keep the entire community safe, especially those most at risk.
And this, apparently, means requiring that everyone have a flu shot.
Well, not quite everyone:
The university will be happy to exempt Black, Ingenious, and People of Color (BIPOC) from the flu shot mandate.
Cornell’s website states that “due to longstanding systemic racism and health inequities in this country,” the university understands that these “requirements may feel suspect or even exploitative” to BIPOC people.
For example, “Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) have been mistreated, and used by people in power, sometimes for profit or medical gain.”
And to be clear, Cornell’s claim is 100% true.
The Tuskegee syphilis experiments come to mind, in which the United States Public Health Service and the Centers for Disease Control pretended to treat black subjects for syphilis from 1932-1972.
In reality the government was studying the progression of untreated syphilis, allowing the black subjects to be killed slowly and painfully, while spreading the disease.
The whole experiment was a disgusting lie that turned its subjects into unwitting lab rats.
The website continues:
“At the same time, we know that long-standing social inequalities and health disparities have resulted in COVID-19 disproportionately affecting BIPOC individuals. Higher percentages of individuals from these communities become infected with COVID, and the health outcomes related to infection are often more serious.”
So, to summarize:
– Cornell mandated the flu shot to keep the most vulnerable people safe from COVID.
– BIPOC people are among the most vulnerable.
– Therefore Cornell exempted BIPOC people from the flu shot.
MAKES PERFECT SENSE!
You’d think that if the flu shot truly were necessary to keep people safe, then Cornell would demand that EVERYONE take the shot.
You can’t have it both ways. Either the flu shot is critical and necessary to protect the most vulnerable, or it’s not.
And if it is critical, then why would Cornell allow the most vulnerable to slip through the cracks?
And if the university does not believe the flu shot is critical, then why subject anyone to the requirements?
Also– why are BIPOC people the only ones who are allowed to not trust the medical establishment?
I seem to remember a certain Dr. Fauci admitting that he lied at the beginning of the pandemic, when he told people that masks would not help slow the spread of COVID-19. And that doesn’t even scratch the surface of all the lies and coverup from the World Health Organization.
So haven’t we all been lied to, at least by certain key figures in the medical establishment, about COVID?
But if you’re not BIPOC, you’re apparently not allow to have a different opinion, express skepticism, or raise any concerns at all.
The irony here is that Cornell is supposed to be a UNIVERSITY after all.
So if they really feel that a flu shot is critical and necessary to protect vulnerable people in their community, perhaps they might try EDUCATING their students about why they believe this is an appropriate public health policy, as opposed to coercing certain ethnic groups, while exempting others.
Don’t worry, Cornell addresses that too: “we understand that someone may know the science and still feel distrusting of health care and may have addition (sic) questions.” [note the grammatical error from one of the nation’s top universities.]
You have to understand that the Social Justice Warrior is a walking contradiction.
They care so much about inequality in health outcomes for people of color, that they will hand them an excuse on a silver platter to allow that inequality to continue.
They recognize that BIPOC people have reasons not to trust the establishment, but everyone else is a science denier for simply asking questions, and wanting more information.
They say that vaccines are not just to keep the individual safe, but the community as well. But it’s acceptable for BIPOC people to ignore this.
Sort of like how opening your business causes COVID-19 to spread, but “peaceful protests” are so righteous that they can’t spread disease among their tightly packed crowds.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

What about those of us who identify as Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color? Do we get extra points if we identify as a gender-fluid, non-binary pansexual? Because, if that’s the case, I’m all those things and more. Thank you Rachel Dolezal.
PS: Don’t ask me my about my preferred pronouns; that’s hate speech.
Wait until They make the vaccine compulsory for Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, plus Jain students and faculty. The “medicine” is rumoured to have parts of fetuses and even pig in it. Darned hard to find out what is in the witch’s brew.
The Muslims might just decide that Jihad is better than “education” subjugation and slavery to the Infidel.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
…for the time being…
Read the insert that comes with the vaccine. It has MRC-5 in it. Somehow, that stands for aborted fetal cells.
Of course this horseshit would stop in short order if the students refused and transferred their credits elsewhere.
Btw, she died.
Stupid ideas need a proper response. All white students should dis-enroll and find another university. Or better yet.Learn a respectable trade,instead of their gender studies debt ridden degree. Once this is completed….. Cornell will then be a university of strictly niggers and other assorted sub-human individuals. Then they will get just what they wished for. Not how they wished it,but they will get it anyways.
At Zero Hedge, you cannot use the word “negro”, regardless of context.
Hat’s off to ZH for standing up for free speech (mocking irony intended).
Hat’s off to BP for relatively free speech (sincerely intended).
The way the Tuskegee Study is presented is only partially accurate. The black men with syphilis were already in the 2nd and 3rd stages of the disease, which until the late 1940s had no known effective treatment. Until then, they were NOT left untreated. Various treatments WERE attempted. Would it have been better to do nothing for them? When penecillin was found to be effective in first stage, and partially effective in 2nd stage in the late ’40s, only then was treatment knowingly withheld. And who knows exactly how far along these 2nd/3rd stage patients were anyway? 3rd stage is too late for treatment and 2nd stage treatment isn’t always effective. As usual, when it comes to stories of blacks being “oppressed,” the truth of the matter isn’t the black/white narrative being advanced.
In another life I worked alongside a guy from Cornell who had a PhD in Materials Science, a field that university is well known for. It turns out that Alvin was such a screwball that he had to move on about every two years, as his manager and team by then had enough time to figure out his act. Sadly, it took five such lateral moves before he finally gave up and left the company. We had a technician whose wife worked in a doctor’s office and knew of Alvin’s thrice weekly visits to the shrink; dumb co-workers never figured out why he’d be gone a couple hours several times a week. I almost wonder if he is not back at Cornell as some kind of administrator.
The twisted illogic of leftist SJW bullshit is a given. But what the subtle evil is the “behavioral compact”, including mandatory vaccines, that the students must agree to. The really insidious part is that this appears to be standard top-down “programming” — complete with a branding name/slogan in many cases — instituted across most, if not all, college campuses. “Protect Our Herd” (CU-Boulder), “Stalwart Plan” (CSU), “Badger Pledge for Students” (Univ. Wisconsin), “Here” (Notre Dame), “Show Me Renewal” (Univ. of Missouri) are just a few examples of the all-encompassing, plandemic fear-porn group-think brainwashing propaganda. Truly disgusting, and proof that peak stupidity is signaling the imminent death of higher education in the US (if it wasn’t already obvious).
