Clemson University Requires Vaccinations for Students to Return – Non-vaxxed Must Wear Masks, Regular Covid Testing

Well, so much for having a little more sanity by our colleges when it comes to getting back to normal for the coming school year. Clemson University has come out with it’s policy regarding vaccinations for the Covid. Everyone is required to get fully vaccinated. If you do not, there are protocols to follow of which the key one is that you must self identify and wear your mask while at Clemson. I don’t know yet if university officials will allow the unvaccinated to take their masks off while walking to class or not. It probably depends upon if they are walking with others. Here is an FAQ that Clemson has posted. I don’t know if this is the most recent FAQ.

It also hasn’t been made clear exactly how this will be enforced and how they will identify if one of their unvaccinated students breaks the rules and doesn’t wear a mask. Will the university expect its college students to rat out their friends who are not vaxxed if they are not wearing a mask? I guess that begs another question…are students so brainwashed on the vaccinations that will they even consider being friends with others who aren’t vaccinated? Are they okay with being around people in masks if they know that’s an identifier notifying the world that this person did not get vaccinated and thus might be a danger to themselves and others? 😉

Clemson did not have to step in to this. They could have just said we are opening up for in-person classes. If you want to get the vaxx, get the vaxx. If you feel safter wearing a mask, wear a mask as worthless as that is. Don’t test for Covid this year. That was a complete waste of money and caused undue stress, fear and anxiety.

The elite universities have been all in on Covid and the vaccines. It does surprise me to see a big public and much beloved university like Clemson jump in to the fray with what I think is a very overbearing Covid policy. It’s time to move on.

My sense is there is a full court press on to get as many vaccinated as possible in the next couple of months. Those who wanted to get vaxxed, got vaxxed. It seems the numbers getting vaccinated now have fallen off precipitiously…thus the need for the hard lines, fear tactics and outright bribing we’re seeing take place in the culture to convince people to get vaccinated.
