Virginia attorney general says public universities can't mandate COVID-19 vaccines
[Washington Examiner] New Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares said in a legal opinion that public universities in the commonwealth could not mandate that students receive coronavirus vaccines or booster shots in order to attend in-person classes.

Miyares, who took office earlier this month, issued the memo Wednesday at the request of Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who campaigned on ending mask and vaccine mandates.

"Although the General Assembly specifically authorized public institutions of higher education to assist the Department of Health and local health departments in the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine, the legislation did not grant such institutions power to impose vaccine requirements," Miyares wrote.

The opinion cited a Virginia law that specifically states against what diseases students at public universities must be vaccinated. Miyares said that because of the clarity of the statute, it was unlawful to require COVID-19 vaccinations because of its absence in the statute.

"’[T]here is no question that the General Assembly could enact a statute requiring the COVID-19 vaccine for in-person school attendance,’" Miyares wrote. "As of this writing, it has not done so."

#1 If they've mandated it then give them no immunity for the negative consequences some student suffers. Suddenly if their livelihood and pensions are placed in jeopardy, it'll be a wake up call. Put consequences into their life and they're pay attention.

#2 Afraid they'll be sued when one or more of the school's boys receiving the jab presents with myocarditis -- as four boys now have at Monte Vista, a Christian academy in Watsonville CA.

Monte Vista has about 900 students and fewer than 500 boys. Myocarditis is a severe illness that can cause death and that usually results in long-term damage to the heart.

It is not "mild." It is not a "rare" adverse effect of the mRNA gene therapy "vaccines."

The FDA and CDC have again and again fudged their numbers, conflated different groups in the denominators, tried to suppress the Pfizer trial data and tried to squelch or even doctor the appalling evidence of horrific adverse effects based on the 3 million person DoD evidence that showed a 3x to 11x increase in cancer, mulyocarxitis, other heart damage, pulmonary and neurological damage, increased female infertility etc etc.

#3 Vaccine mandates are explicitly prohibited by federal law, but that hasn't stopped anyone.

#4 Serious question, what law or statute might that be?
