This is the same man who supported the overturning of the 2020 election. Might as well dabble in some more Republican misinformation yeah?
It’s a larger issue of once you set a precedent to erode personal freedoms, then where does it stop. Think about how private your medical information is required to be, but for this virus were going to suspend all of that in the name of public safety. That’s a direction I do not want to go in, because it will never stop with this one event.
Jeff A. has the right idea. Glad someone can see the big picture.
Jeff A. is correct, Nate. Pay attention to The Big Picture, will you?
And I’m not too sure about Rokita wanting to overturn the 2020 Presidential election. He might like to validate it, though, and you should want it validated, too. But those who did the dirty work to get Biden “elected” will always resist legitimate investigations of the painfully-obvious voter fraud that put that dementia-addled, clapped-out old career politician in office to further destroy YOUR freedom as well as mine and Jeff’s…and everyone else’s.
Bob P. There has been no evidence of widespread fraud over the election other than poor whiny loser Trump throwing his temper tantrum because he lost. Ironic that Trump is the one who cheated with his lies and extortion of Ukraine by trying to dig up dirt on Biden. And if you think Biden is dementia-addled look at doped up mentally incompetent, pathological liar evil corrupt Trump.
I’m no Democrat supporter. but the GOP has turned into a brain-washed cult supporting the sick evil Trump. If Trump is so great, why does he lie all the time?
Jeff A., colleges require vaccinations for other communicable diseases prior to enrollment and have for decades. This is not a new thing. So try again…
Isn’t it the right of the students and staff to feel safe when attending school? The mandate is for public health, not personal “entitlements”. There are plenty of students and staff willing to comply. The others can choose a private school with a different agenda. I believe most schools will follow suits. Remember, IU was not the first to announce the mandate.
“Really appreciate the support Todd. It’s visionaries like you that keep me active!”, COVID-19 virus
Don’t quit your day job just yet if you’re jonesing for a stand-up comedian gig, Nick B.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water!
With Hill gone, one expected change with Rokita. Not exactly.
Agree with David G. Students and staff have the right to feel safe when attending school. This is a mandate about public safety, not personal “entitlements.” Majority of people understand this and want to comply. Most want to ensure the “whole” are safe.
I’m embarrassed for what’s happened in my Republican Party. The entire Trump, non-masking, invasion of personal freedoms, slippery slope of what else will they take away from us “act” is shameful, and part of the reason we’ve ended up in the situation we are in. Pathetic.
…not to mention Jews firing lasers from space, pedeophile rings and dead Venezeulan presidents creating ballots….also shameful.
Jolf: it’s not unexpected – Donald spent four years in a position of [near] absolute power after living a severely corrupt life. Whether you want to cite Lord Acton or Orwell, his state of mind was predictable. The upside is the 22nd Amendment. The downside is he’s got a few more years to plot.
If there is a true legal challenge to IU’s vaccination policy, it could set a precedent for all universities. Not just COVID but all vaccinations! How would this impact international students that are required to be vaccinated for tuberculosis?
This is not about personal freedom; it is about public health. Am I the only one who is old enough to have a smallpox vaccination scar? Smallpox is now gone; let’s do the same with Covid?
Covid-19 is going to remain a part of us for a long time…especially those in a state of denial and won’t get vaccinated despite their hero Trump having received his shots in January.
Following his position to its logical conclusion, while we are at it and on a roll, let’s ban all required vaccinations to attend Indiana grade and high schools because it’s all about personal freedoms and public health be damned…..meningitis, hepatitis, tetanus, diphtheria & pertussis….
https://www.in.gov/isdh/files/2020-2021%20Immunization%20Requirements%20with%20HepA%20all%20grades.pdf
That’s fine once you have a proven vaccine, but on these were doing the proving after the fact. No matter what you think these vaccines were rushed to market. I had one and had a serious problem with it so yes, I would like them to take a little more time before putting this into the category of the other ones you mention with a long history of success. These are great vaccines, but not everyone should take them and that will take time to sort out
How many days until Rokita’s term is up?
Notice Rokita only issued a press release. It sounds good. It plays to his base. He is hoping his base is too ignorant to fact check him.
If he really thought it was issue, he would be filing in court, which like almost all of the partisan issues he has supported, he is not.
The real headline should be “AG issues another partisan propaganda statement”.
IU is one of 14 schools in Indiana that have a vaccine mandate. Maybe IU is the only one that receives state dollars?
From the IN.GOV AG page: The Office of the Indiana Attorney General represents the state in cases involving the state’s interest, provides legal defense to state officials or agencies in court, and gives formal legal advisory opinions on constitutional or legal questions to state officials.
Who asked for the AG’s opinion? The key words for this article: “….The opinion from Attorney General Todd Rokita’s office, which is not binding,…..”
I didn’t vote for Rokita as Sec of State, Rep IN-4, Senate primary nor as AG (if possible, I would have voted against him for the AMTRAK Directors position). Spoiler alert, I won’t vote for him when he runs for Star Fleet Commander
Indiana 2021-2022 Required and Recommended School Immunizations (https://www.in.gov/isdh/files/2021-2022%20Immunization%20Requirements.pdf)
Hepatitis B, DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus& Pertussis), Polio, Varicella (Chickenpox), MMR (Measles, Mumps &Rubella), Hepatitis A. Add MCV4 (Meningococcal) after 6th grade. Various boosters per schedule.
Perhaps Todd should sue himself/IN for violating all the civil liberties of these children. Scandalous!
I was forced by my Indiana public school to get the Swine Flu vaccine in 2009, which was also approved via Emergency Use Authorization by the FDA. Why is this any different now? Oh yeah, Fox News became anti-vax because that’s what the GOP wants. They’re literally sacrificing the lives of their constituents to try to win in 2022. That’s going to backfire when they’re getting sick from Covid-19 this fall.
Why is Rokita trying to force a “no vax” mandate on our children? Does he want them dead?
I mean the talking points write themselves
