Ohio Legislature Passes Bill To Ban Covid-19 Vaccine Mandates At Schools, Universitiess

[EpochTimes] Ohio lawmakers approved a bill that would ban public schools and universities from requiring students and staff to receive any COVID-19 vaccine that hasn’t received full approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

House Bill 244, approved on Monday, would also prohibit the institutions from discriminating against an individual who has not received a vaccine for COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.

Such forms of discrimination would include requiring a person to participate in activities that are different from what a vaccinated person would be required to participate in, according to the bill text (pdf).

It passed along party lines in the Ohio Senate, 24-8, and the Ohio House, 61-34.

None of the vaccines currently being administered in the United States have been fully approved by the FDA to-date. All three are being used under emergency authorization, and it’s unclear when regulators will make a decision. Two of the vaccines authorized for emergency use in the United States require two doses.

“The simple fact is that decision needs to be decided by their parents and by their family,” said state Senate President Matt Huffman, a Republican, arguing that young adults aren’t as severely impacted by the virus as others.

The legislation now heads to Gov. Mike DeWine’s desk. According to NBC4, DeWine has declined to comment on whether he would veto or sign the bill.

#1 This Ohio resident says My Body My Choice. Truth is that the FDA will approve anything Biden wants approved. So F@ck the lawmakers.
Besides, Dewine won't sign only because he is pro vax.

#2 Time for legislatures to take back responsibility for their universities and colleges. Do away with 'trustees' and allocate the positions to members of the legislature. Direct accountability (and one less patronage reward of the governors).

#6 As I understand it the current default is that if a person is required to get the jab, and there is a problem, the institution is liable.

But that still falls under P2K's guidance.

#7 The FDA will just illegally shoehorn the vaccine (that is not a vaccine) for approval no matter how many people die from it. Haven’t you seen enough of this corruption?

#8 When some unvaccinated little darling gets Covid and sues the U for 50 million $, what will legislature do?

There is a long tradition in America of unvaccinated little darlings getting the diseases they refused protection for, g(r)omgoru. Usually it’s meningitis — discovered after they died before getting to a doctor— though in recent years it’s been childhood diseases like measles and whooping cough. The legislature need only look at precedent, which places the liability on the shoulders of those who choose not to be vaccinated.
