college athletes

Original Article

A federal appellate court has ruled in favor of 16 college athletes who challenged Western Michigan University‘s coronavirus vaccine mandate. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit unanimously sided Thursday with the students, upholding a district court ruling enjoining school officials from forcing the athletes to get vaccinated. The students had sued, claiming that the school denied or did not review their request for religious exemptions from the vaccine requirement. “The University’s failure to grant religious exemptions to plaintiffs burdened their free exercise rights. The University put plaintiffs to the choice: get vaccinated or stop fully participating in intercollegiate sports,” the court wrote

We should not have to hire attorneys to stop needles being pushed into our arms, and a school or an employer certainly should have no authority over what constitutes a person's sincerely held belief.

If Covid is that serious they shouldn't have been playing football in the first place. You know, huddles, pile-ons, tackling, that sort of thing. Requiring vaccinations is the only way both university and high school administrations can justify campus restrictions but not require the same things on the football field.

The judges should have given a blanket ruling covering ALL COVID VACCINE MANDATES while they were ruling. If it is not legal for the athletes at Western Michigan University, it is not legal anywhere else.

If all the Faucists had been correct on the deadliness of the virus for the unvaxed and unmasked shouldn't just about every athlete in the world already be dead or at least in the hospital hooked up to a ventilator? Same goes for every grocery store clerk, big box checker, Amazon delivery dudes, etc., etc. How come they're not all dead or hospitalized?

Washington—White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday claimed allegations that President Biden owes as much as $500,000 in unpaid Medicare taxes have been “debunked”—despite experts saying otherwise.(Snip) Psaki grew visibly annoyed when asked about the issue by The Post at her daily press briefing and cut off the line of questioning after an expert was cited, who affirmed Biden might indeed owe taxes. “This is a very long question.

Older adults without heart disease should not take daily low-dose aspirin to prevent a first heart attack or stroke, a panel of experts said on Tuesday. In new draft guidance, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (UPSTF) said that recent evidence has shown the risks of side effects far outweigh any potential benefits for seniors. This means that low-dose, or baby, aspirin should only be taken daily by patients have had a heart attack or stroke in the past or by younger adults with no bleeding risks.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued new orders Tuesday halting ICE from going after large numbers of illegal immigrants at job sites, saying it is a waste of resources and actually helps unscrupulous employers abuse unauthorized workers. Mr. Mayorkas said he wants his department’s three immigration agencies to come up with new strategies to target employers while leaving the illegal immigrants unscathed. But those solutions are in the future. For now, he said, “mass worksite operations” must cease. “The deployment of mass worksite operations, sometimes resulting in the simultaneous arrest of hundreds of workers, was not focused on the most pernicious aspect of our country’s unauthorized employment challenge: exploitative employers,”
