Governor Cuomo exempts faculty and staff from COVID vaccine mandate on public campuses

COLLEGE FIX STAFFMAY 13, 2021
Union happy that other people have to get the vaccine

"College students at the State University of New York system and the City University of New York system will be required to receive a COVID vaccine in order to learn on campus, under a new directive from Governor Andrew Cuomo.

However, the Democratic governor did not mandate the vaccine for faculty and staff, even though older people are more likely to die and suffer severe cases of COVID than generally younger college students.

“Cuomo said Monday the vaccine requirement for students will only take effect if the federal government grants full, regular approval to one or more of the Covid shots on the market now,” Syracuse.com reported.

The Buffalo News explained that union representation makes it harder for the public universities and the state to mandate the vaccine.






“Extending the mandatory vaccine order for SUNY employees would run into unions,” the Buffalo News reported. The university staff and faculty “have something college students don’t have: political might.”

One union praised the mandate for students, but said the governor would have to negotiate with it if it wants members vaccinated.

Fred Kowal of the United University Professors, which represents SUNY faculty and staff, “absolutely welcomes” the mandate, according to the Buffalo news organization.

“It will be absolutely crucial in getting back to a sense of normalcy in our campus communities,” Kowal said.

He said a mandate for his own members “would require negotiations with UUP.”

Black liberal student says if she has to get vaccinated, everyone should have to get it

The mandate has faced pushback from students who questioned the uneven application of the requirement.

“It’s not fair that they can choose not to get it,” Madison Mack, a black student board member of Buffalo State’s Public Interest Research Group, told the local news site. PIRG is a left-leaning student advocacy group.

Mack plans to get the shot, but “she understands the historical worries about government-run vaccine programs in minority communities,” Buffalo News reported.

“If one has to do it, then we all have to do it,” Mack said."

Look for this to be happening all over the place after the OSHA ruling a few days ago that any employer mandating a vaccine would be liable for a worker's compensation claim if there was any adverse reaction to the vaccine.

So, what happens with students who do any paid work for the college? Does that get them out of the fauxine mandate or not, I wonder?

How likely is it for the feds to give "full, regular approval to one or more of the Covid shots on the market now"?

Pretty good politics, Cuomo. Sounds like he did something, but a truck would fit through the spaces in the fine print!

Isn't it funny how they're all screaming how safe the vaccines are but when suddenly, it's their wallet on the line (if vaccines do turn out to be unsafe) that all of a sudden, they don't want to risk it? It's ok for me to risk my health, but not their wallet.

I do expect the FDA to give full approval soon to the vaccines (no more emergency status) so I wonder if OSHA will change its ruling after the vaccines have FDA approval.

I have no idea in New York when I was working at the Worker's Compensation oversight board in Colorado (in the 1980s) they would be liable if the shot were required for them to take the job. However, if it was already required to attend classes then I'm not sure that would apply.

But in general, an on-the-job injury is an on-the-job injury; that includes unpaid and subsidized work. This is one reason so many "work-fare" programs crash and burn, in California when I still lived there the State had to payout for people who collapsed in the hot sun picking trash and/or were stuck by cars and killed. It might have been unpaid "workfare" but it was a required "job."

But States vary and I'm not sure what the current Federal or State regulations are at this time.

Well that is just plain stupid.

I hated the first month of the college semester/quarter. EVERYONE GETS SICK FROM EVERYONE's BUGS!! We called it the Freshman Crud, but both students and staff got it at one time or another during the opening of school after summer and Christmas breaks. Most of the students when home during breaks and then brought back the local bugs going around there. UGH!!

I thought that got reversed.

NEWS JUNKIES -- CHECK OUT OUR HOMEPAGE




Dr. Charles Hoffe discusses the D Dimer test and Vaccine patients

But here’s where the problem comes. In a virus, in a Coronavirus, that spike protein becomes part of the viral capsule. In other words, the cell wall around the virus, called the viral capsule. But it’s not in the virus. It’s in your cells. So it therefore becomes part of the cell wall of your vascular endothelium. Which means that these cells that line your blood vessels, which are supposed to be smooth so that blood flows smoothly, now have these little spikey bits sticking out.

So it is absolutely inevitable that blood clots will form. Because your blood platelets circulate around in your blood vessels. And the purpose of blood platelets is to detect a damaged vessel and block that vessel to stop bleeding. So when the platelet comes through the capillary, it suddenly hits all these all these Covid spikes that are jutting into the inside of the vessel, it is absolutely inevitable that a blood clot will form to block that vessel. That’s how platelets work.

So….just as [inaudible] is absolutely predicted to cause cancer because it is full of carcinogens, these spike proteins will predictably cause blood clots because [inaudible] they are in your blood vessels. Dr. Bhakdi then said to me the way to prove this is that we need to do a blood test called a D-dimer test, um..to find out of this is really happening. So…the problem with…the blood clots we hear about through the media, that they claim are very rare are the big blood clots. These are the ones that cause strokes and clots in your brain…those are the ones that show up on CT-scans and Angiograms and MRIs. The clots I am talking about are microscopic. These are tiny…they are literally on a capillary level and they are scattered throughout your capillary network. They are not going to show on any scan. They are just too small and too scattered. So the only way to find out for sure if this predictable mechanism of clotting was actually happening was to do this blood test called a D-dimer. And so the D-dimer is a blood test that shows a recent blood clot. It doesn’t show anything else other than a recent blood clot. It won’t show an old blood clot. It only shows new blood clots. And so I have been now doing that on my patients…um finding people who have recently had their Covid shot within the previous seven days…it needs to be between 4 and 7 days, and doing a blood test on them called a D-dimer.

And so I am still trying to accumulate more information. But on the ones I have so far, 62% of them have evidence of clotting. Which means that these blood clots are not rare. It means the majority of people are getting blood clots that they have no idea that they are having. So Laura Lynn, the most alarming thing about this is that there are some parts of your body like your heart and your brain, and your spinal cord and your lungs, which cannot regenerate. When those tissues are damaged by blocked vessels they are permanently damaged. So I now have 6 people in my Medical practice with reduced Effort Tolerance, which means that they just get out of breath more easily than they used to. I have one fellow that used to walk to my office every week for actually for an arthritis injection and told me that he could walk two miles without any problems, and now after a quarter of a mile he is absolutely out of breath and it has been like that for five months.

So on the basis of this D-dimer test which proves that the majority of people are clotting, these six people who now have Reduced Effort Tolerance, actually what has happened to them is that they have plugged up thousands of tiny capillaries in their lungs. And the terrifying thing about this is not just that these people are short of breath and they can’t do what they used to be able to do. But once you block off a significant number of blood vessels to your lungs, your heart is now pumping against a much greater resistance to try and get the blood through your lungs. And the problem….so that causes a condition called Pulmonary Artery Hypertension.

It’s actually like high blood pressure in your lungs because the blood can’t get through because so many of the vessels are blocked. And the terrifying thing of this is that people with Pulmonary Artery Hypertension usually die of right sided heart failure within three years. So the huge concern about the mechanism of injury is that these shots are causing permanent damage. And the worse is yet to come. Because, you know, there are some tissues in your body like the intestine, liver and kidney that can regenerate to quite a good degree but brain, and spinal cord, and heart muscle and lungs do not. When they are damaged, its permanent. Like all these young people who are now getting Myocarditis from these shots, they have permanently damaged hearts.
