U.S. Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Montana) recently introduced the "University Forced Vaccination Student Injury Mitigation Act," a bill that says any of the country's more than 1,000 higher education institutions that "recklessly" require the coronavirus jabs should cover the medical bills of students who suffer adverse reactions to them.
"Thousands of Americans were injured due to vaccines being forced out of the lab, into public circulation, then prematurely mandated," Rosendale notes. "My bill will not only make universities admit fault in recklessly forcing students to take the shot, but it will also make them financially responsible for the injuries they caused."
The bill also aims to strip the institutions' federal funding if they refuse to comply.
"The main goal of the legislation appears to be to hold schools accountable for requiring students to get vaccinated against COVID, even though most college students, by virtue of their age and general health, are not at any real significant risk of adverse reactions to coronavirus," relays Matt Lamb, associate editor of The College Fix. "While the universities may be able to claim that they were not fully aware of the side effects, they do know now that there are documented side effects. It's also always been clear from March 2020 that young people were never at any significant risk from coronavirus."
This information comes from various sources, including healthcare leaders.
"Furthermore, the vaccine safety advisor for the FDA has actually previously said that, at least for some of the COVID shots, men under 40 are at more of a risk from the vaccines than from the virus itself," Lamb adds.
Diseases covered by the legislation include myocarditis, pericarditis, thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, Gullian-Barre Syndrome, and other diseases that the secretary of education determines are associated with a COVID-19 vaccine.
Lamb says Rep. Rosendale appears to be looking to hold schools to account and to dissuade the remaining handful of colleges that continue to mandate the COVID shots.
