Cornell offers 'person of color' exemption for flu vaccine requirement

December 7, 2020, 8:27 am ET

“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.”

Indian Mill Contract

/

49 Indian Mill Road (off Cognewaugh) currently priced at $4.295 million. Newish construction 2022), built on land purchased for $1.250 in 2014; it replaced a livable, but dated 1977 T-11-sided wonder house; clients of mine gave it serious consideration back then, before purchasing in Riverside (which I thought a wise choice, and so it proved to be). New, in this case, was probably the right decision.

I wrote about it when it hit the market back in September at $4.695 million, and although I was dubious about its price, I did like the house itself. In November, I noted its price cut to $4.295, and now, finally, it has found a buyer.

We all know that Democrats have no sense of humor, but ain't it grand to watch them prove it?

Good thing its address wasn't 780 Deer Lane, or even 365

your address is destiny

7 Deer Lane, asking $6.2 million: contract in 7 days. This is not the first time the property’s been fought over; in fact, these owners paid $4,510,000 for it in 2022 when the asking price was $4.295. They tidied it uo a bit, moved out (or did they ever move in?) and put it back up for sale, with the results we see reported today.

I don't agree with this commentator — in fact, I consider Trump's action ludicrous — but I feel better knowing that there could be at least a semi-plausible reason for it

Personally, I think it’s silly: a meaningless gesture that will go nowhere; a distraction from the many real challenges facing our new (okay, recycled) president, but someone in the White House must have thought it was a good idea, so maybe this explains why they thought so.

Here’s the Brilliance Behind Trump’s Move Declaring Biden’s Pardons ‘Void'

This isn't just about pardons; it's about who was really running our government.

Matt Margolis, PJ Media:

…. While I suspect that it will be virtually impossible to prove that Biden didn’t authorize those pardons, I still think this may have been a brilliant move by Trump. 

Here’s why. Every legal challenge, every court filing, every public statement will keep this scandal front and center. Even if the pardons ultimately stand, the damage to Biden's legacy and the Democratic Party will be done. 

….[M]ainstream media coverage of the scandal has been virtually nonexistent. However, I’m starting to see reports from mainstream outlets trickle out. So far, I've seen reports from NBC News, Axios, Bloomberg, The Hill, USA Today, NewsNation, and ABC News. The story is out there now, which means that the American people will see exactly how the Deep State operates behind the scenes with its cognitively challenged puppet, Biden. 

Why focus specifically on pardons and not Biden's executive orders or judicial nominations? Because Trump knows exactly what he's doing. By challenging these pardons, he's forcing several sitting Democrats who received preemptive pardons from Biden to publicly defend their get-out-of-jail-free cards and attack Trump for declaring Biden’s pardons void. The mainstream media can't ignore this story when their favorite Democrats are squirming under the spotlight.

The mere fact that we're having this conversation about whether the President of the United States actually knew who he was pardoning should terrify every American. This isn't about political parties anymore; it's about the integrity of the highest office in our land.

As I’ve pointed out in previous coverage of the scandal, the use of an autopen isn't unprecedented in presidential actions, but using one to sign executive orders and pardons while serious questions exist about the president's mental faculties and consent? That's a whole different ballgame. The Trump administration hints at having evidence to support these claims, and given its track record of exposing Democratic corruption, I wouldn't bet against it. Will that be enough for them to be declared legally void? I'm skeptical, but again, that may not be the actual point.

The Democrats thought they could quietly slip these pardons through without scrutiny. Thanks to President Trump's strategic move, the American people will get to see exactly how the sausage is made in Biden's White House, and it's not pretty.

Watch as this story unfolds. The mainstream media can try to bury it, but with prominent Democrats forced to defend their questionable pardons, this scandal isn't going anywhere. The public at large is finally going to hear all about it. And that's exactly what Trump intended. 

Meh — maybe.
