  1. If someone is injured or dies from the vaccines, are they going to be legally responsible for the injury or death as for them forcing the issues by means of extortion???

    Call it for what it is! As proven and confirmed! There is an serious health or death risk taking the vaccines to one who has a better chance surviving COVID over the vaccines!

    1. i too am very sad and upset that i died after receiving the vaccine. my friends all died too so we went on vacation together.

    2. Wow… (sarcasm) The lame-stream media has been doing a great job covering up all of those deaths. If Darrell W is to be believed, they must be hiding 600,000+ vaccine deaths in the US alone. Where are those baby eating pedophiles when you need them to take out a few pro-vaxer’s?

    3. Well, over 3500 deaths have occurred so far in the U.S. from these shots. This is not unusual. ALL vaccines (which the COVID shots are not) result in some injuries and deaths. Even the typical flu shots (which are actually vaccines) result in deaths every year. It is a chance people can decide to take or not. To be made to or coerced into taking one of these shots, is without precedent. They are saying, essentially, that you have no rights over your body. Where are all the abortion advocates that use the “control over my body” at? If you believe that these shots will keep you from getting COVID, take one; its your choice.
      Unbelievably, people are NOT the property of the state.

    4. more people have died from the covid vaccine than have died from all vaccines COMBINED in the last twenty years. I did not make this up. you can look it up. it is a small percentage but there is a chance.

    5. Every IU student and employee has been given plenty of notice to either quit their jobs or transfer to a new school. If they don’t want to get a vaccine, don’t. Just don’t plan on being employed or educated at IU. The University shouldn’t be liable if anyone gets sick or dies from the vaccine, just as they were not liable if any students or staff died from covid-19.

    6. Where is this incredible misinformation coming from, and why does the IBJ leave it posted on IBJ.com? Not just Darrell’s comment, but Neil’s reply, saying the vaccine has caused over 3,500 deaths so far. Please provide actual factual data backing this, and if it is not available, then IBJ should remove that comment as misinformation. (Hint… there is NO scientific data stating this). And Dustin, who states that more people have died from the covid vaccine than all other vaccines combined for decades. Again… where is the actual scientific evidence of this? Post it, and if you can’t find facts, then IBJ should remove this disinformation. The thing is, covid disinformation is particularly insidious, because people have literally died as a result. IBJ… what will you do about this?

    1. Best of luck. I’d imagine most universities are going to do the same thing.

    2. Might as well head to the deep South if you’re looking for someplace it won’t mandate it Matt

    3. Matt V.
      Don’t bother to transfer to Norte Dame. They announced vaccine requirements a few months ago.

      But at the same time, you have the FREEDOM to transfer because the public health crisis is under control because you are vaccinated.

  2. We’ll see how this plays out. Title III of the U.S. Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination based on medical condition (i.e. unvaccinated) in private businesses such as grocery stores, banks, restaurants, hotels, retail stores and all public facilities including schools. Hmm??

    1. This played out a LONG time ago. About 1912, the supreme court ruled that you can discriminate on the basis of vaccinations. You apparently don’t care for any children, otherwise you would know schools have been requiring proof of vaccinations for decades.

    2. It’s annoying hearing people who know nothing about law constantly throwing around legal arguments.

    3. Note: IU already requires multiple other vaccinations, and if you don’t have them, your registration is cancelled. This is no different from existing IU policy on other vaccinations, so why are people so freaked out about this one?

    1. A sheep that chooses not to suffer or cause others to suffer or die because of COVID? That seems like an easy choice.

      I waited more than a year to be able to bleat it all the way back to my favorite sit down restaurant. Seems like an easy choice.

  3. This is so wrong. You think this kind of crap will stop with this virus and required vaccine, but you are wrong. This is only the beginning. Welcome to the new United States of China!

    1. Good luck being ruled by your lord and masters. It’s too bad so many died in the past fighting for freedom that means nothing to you young people. You think I’m being extreme here, but giving up your rights and freedoms always starts with something innocuous.

  4. Very proud of my University for taking a prudent stance during a time where tough decisions cause radical responses. I would congratulate whoever made this decision for doing the right thing.

  5. It’s funny hearing everyone whining about this. I was required to get the Swine Flu vaccine back in high school when it got 600 students sick. Vaccination requirements have been around forever. You’re just upset about it now because Fox News and the GOP have told you to be. The real sheep are the people following right wing media and agreeing with absolutely everything they say.

  6. The Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine has not been approved or licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but has been authorized for emergency use by FDA, under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), to prevent Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‑19) for use in individuals 18 years of age and older. There is no FDA-approved vaccine to prevent COVID‑19.

    The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine has not been approved or licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but has been authorized for emergency use by FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to prevent Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) for use in individuals 12 years of age and older. The emergency use of this product is only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of the medical product under Section 564(b)(1) of the FD&C Act unless the declaration is terminated or authorization revoked sooner

    HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED!

    You are participating in the trial phase for a mRNA vaccine, mRNA has never been used before as the delivery method for a vaccine.

    Not sure if this makes me an anti-vaxer or a non participant in the trial phase.
