BYU-Hawaii denies vaccine exemption for student with autoimmune disorder

LAIE, Hawaii, July 19, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – A university student has been denied entry into Brigham Young University-Hawaii (BYU) because she cannot take the COVID-19 vaccine as a result of a potentially vaccine-induced condition.

In June, BYU in Hawaii mandated the COVID-19 vaccine for all students and staff. One student, Olivia Sandor, appealed for a medical exemption because she suffers from Guillain-Barre syndrome, an autoimmune disease affecting the nervous system, which can be triggered by vaccination.

Sandor says in a July 13 Instagram post that she was paralyzed from the waist down after taking an influenza vaccine in 2019. She eventually regained her ability to walk; however, her doctors have warned her that taking another vaccine could result in permanent paralysis or death.

Taking the COVID-19 vaccine “could end in permanent paralysis, and possibly death if it spread up my body,” she explains. “This is not a choice for me. The CDC has strongly advised against it and so have all of my medical providers.”

Sandor says her doctors sent the university documentation verifying her statement, but BYU has failed to recognize Sandor’s condition, demanding that she receive the vaccine regardless of the serious threat to her life. She then appealed to the President of BYU Hawaii, John S.K. Kauwe III, explaining her condition. The president promised to review her case. Four days later, he replied that the university still insists she be vaccinated.

LifeSite has reached out to Kauwe for a comment on the situation, but has not received a response by the time of publication.

BYU’s Director of Health Services Laurie Abregano suggested that Sandor take either the Moderna or the Pfizer vaccine. University physician Dr. Ember Christensen claimed that the Moderna vaccine has not “shown any association with triggering GBS.”

Turning Point USA has reported other such cases at BYU. In one, a student with only one semester remaining is being denied completion of his degree because he was unwilling to take the experimental vaccine. Another senior student said he appealed the mandate but was told by BYU that “If you don’t want the vaccine, then you won’t be allowed to come to school and will need to go elsewhere.”

Many American colleges and universities are mandating the experimental vaccine for in-person learning this fall, despite evidence of dangerous possible side effects. Many international colleges, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Columbia, and Cornell will be forcing their students and staff be vaccinated.

This has an easy solution. Nobody shows up for school. Take a year off and watch the schools crumble.
These are young people. They will have to live with this type of tyranny all their lives unless they collectively wave the middle finger now.
They are young and have the time to spare and ability to set the pace to future attempts at such tyranny.

Any school that denies such an exemption broadcasts their total ignorance and gullibility; not worth giving them a single dime in tuition. Higher education is fast becoming worthless; there are better avenues for bright young people to get ahead.

In a lawsuit opposing forced vaccination brought by some Indiana University students the presiding judge ruled that the Constitution does not guarantee the right to attend a university. He said the students can go elsewhere, or just not attend college.

He is correct.

If the college allowed unvaccinated professors or students in, and they spread the virus, and someone is injured and/or dies, the college is almost automatically likely to be deemed guilty for failing to keep a safe learning environment. College is a business, and as I said previously, it is the duty of a business to protect itself. I know everything there is to know about risk vs reward.

Olivia Sandor is using her supposed autoimmune disease as a ploy to game the system. The vax poses minimal risks to her “disease”. If she were my employee I would fire her.

Problem, the not-vaccines cannot prevent the spread of the “virus”. It don’t matter who the hell takes it or says you have to. The shot sure as hell could kill her as it could me.

It’s not being approached correctly from a legal stand point but it will be soon.

The same laws that force facilities and businesses to make themselves accessible to wheel chairs etc will be used to sue universities (etc) that deny people entrance based on vaccination status.

There’s a lot of people out there who can’t take certain types of vaccines (myself for instance) because of other medical conditions. Gonna deny me entrance to your business/facility because God hit me with a shitty autoimmune disease that prevents me from vaxxing?

Hope you got a nice fat bank account. Cause I’m gonna take it all.

This is assuming we have a just legal system. We do not. The law will not save us. Especially once it becomes FDA approved.

Punishment for who exactly? As someone who is tied up in two lawsuits, who do you think is getting punished? You don’t think I’m being financially drained…and will probably still lose? The answer is not in the law.

FDA approval has nothing to do with getting sued by folks who can’t take it for medical reasons. And the justice system is far more complex than is commonly understood here. The cases will build and the institutions will suffer.

I never wore one either. But I was also in a heavily liberal area among terrified sheep. I had major issues going maskless ALL. THE. TIME.

I also taught and refused to mask my students. Let’s just say I’m no longer employed by that institution.

I think it really depended on where you lived. In TX now, and I don’t believe the folks in my small community even knew there was a virus.

What person, organization, group, cabal, organism… has the power to implement this?

Seriously. This Shit is OUT OF CONTROL!

Who or what can be doing this? Any ideas? Anyone? Bueller?

It’s the Davos crowd. Yeah there’s a lot of overlap with other groups but if you venn diagram that shit you find one group at the center. After Bildeberg was exposed they stopped bothering with the secrecy and instead picked a heavily fortifiable position for their annual planning sessions.

BYU would be a good institution to stay away from as they seem to be unaware that none of the shots can prevent infection or transmission, and there is no immunity what so ever. Terminally stupid they are.

To begin with stop calling it a vaccine; it has no relationship whatsoever with either the way a vaccine is created nor with the way a vaccine functions within the body nor with the results that a vaccine produces. It is in no way a vaccine.

A weakened or dead virus was not used to create it – it’s not a vaccine.

It instructs the body to actually PRODUCE a portion of the virus – no vaccine has ever done that before – it’s not a vaccine.

It doesn’t produce immunity from the virus which is the sole purposes of a vaccine – it’s not a vaccine.

Nice thought, but they won’t. Parents want their kids edumacated. (Just ask Llpoh) They want their kids to have that university experience and will do what’s necessary to make it happen. They will not allow their children to be “sacrificed”.

The young could bring every college and university to their knees by saying “screw you”. Better things to do in Hawaii than go to college. The people working at the aloha stadium flee market make all the money they need to support raising a family in Hawaii. Buy some made in china stuff and sell it to tourists has worked for decades.
