Students at Cornell University can use their status as a “person of color” to be exempt from the university’s flu vaccine requirement.
“Students who identify as Black, Indigenous, or as a Person of Color (BIPOC) may have personal concerns about fulfilling the Compact requirements based on historical injustices and current events,” explains Cornell Health’s vaccine requirement FAQ.
Students can send a private message to Cornell Health in order to request a non-medical or non-religious exemption for the immunization. For more information, the FAQ links to a page “especially for students of color,” which is meant to help minority students concerned about the flu vaccine requirement.
“We recognize that, due to longstanding systemic racism and health inequities in this country, individuals from some marginalized communities may have concerns about needing to agree to such requirements,” explains the page. “For example, historically, the bodies of Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) have been mistreated, and used by people in power, sometimes for profit or medical gain.”
The university, therefore, considers it “understandable that the current Compact requirements may feel suspect or even exploitative to some BIPOC members of the Cornell community.”
Nevertheless, Cornell strongly encourages minority students to receive immunizations

Wtf?!
Further proof the vaccine is designed for genocide...
Yep.
BIPOC, how nice, a new tribe of alphabet people.
That pretty much exempts everyone on campus....as you are allowed to “self-identify” as anything you want nowadays.
Next we’ll hear more pissing and moaning about how Covid “disproportionately affects people of color”. FFS.
btt
Trying to kill off whitey with a juiced cocktail injection... Would not be surprised.
What a bunch of suckers white people are.
Ah, the prime (and only) standard which uniquely identifies liberals/progressives/buttwipes/asshats/and most university students: A double one.
If something like that makes it past our courts, well, count the “legal system” as one of N jokes in modern America.
Where N is a very large number.
White is a color.
Wow. Democrats have never left their racist roots.
Yep, some are saying it’s to sterilize the women. This is proof that whites are a target.
yes, just don’t do it......
“Cornell. Ever heard of it?” (Office reference...but now more of a joke than ever)
If I didnt want one I would tell them I identify as a transgender gay Native American.
Precisely. Whites are the Jews of Nazi germany. Most whites will willingly walk into the gas chambers and apologize for stepping on the executioner’s toe.
“Students at Cornell University can use their status as a “person of color” to be exempt from the university’s flu vaccine requirement....”

Well, hell’s bells.., let’s exempt all POCs from any vaccination requirements (e.g., meningitis, tetanus, polio, etc., etc., etc.). What could possibly go wrong.

Black Americans are infected with COVID-19 at nearly three times the rate of white Americans, according to a new document from the National Urban League. The report, based on data from Johns Hopkins University, also shows black Americans are twice as likely to die from the virus.
According to the “State of Black America,” the infection rate for blacks is 62 per 10,000, compared with 23 per 10,000 for whites. Latinos see even more infections: 73 per 10,000.
During the early months of the pandemic, the report asserts that blacks were more likely to have preexisting conditions that predispose them to COVID-19 infection, less likely to have health insurance, and more likely to work in jobs that do not accommodate remote work.
Both black and Latino Americans are also more likely to live in multigenerational housing, which places older, at-risk adults in close contact with younger people who may not know they have the virus.
The report’s findings were echoed in new data published today in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, which shows that in many hot spots throughout the country this summer, Hispanics and Latinos were disproportionately infected with the novel coronavirus.
The analysis looked at county-level data for states experiencing a surge of virus activity during Jun 5 through 18. “Disparities in cases were identified among underrepresented racial/ethnic groups in 76 (96.2%) analyzed counties,” the authors said. “Disparities among Hispanic populations were identified in approximately three quarters of hotspot counties (59 of 79, 74.7%).”
Community transmission this summer was noted most heavily in Arizona, Texas, and Florida — states with large Hispanic populations.
