RFK, Jr. to Rutgers President: COVID Vaccine Mandate Violates Federal Law<\/strong><\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

The announcement last week by Rutgers University that it would require all students to get the COVID vaccine prompted CHD Chairman Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to remind university officials that federal law prohibits mandating Emergency Use Authorization vaccines.<\/h3>\n

Rutgers University last week\u00a0announced<\/a>\u00a0it will require all students enrolled for the 2021 fall semester to be vaccinated for\u00a0COVID-19<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The announcement prompted\u00a0Children\u2019s Health Defense<\/a>\u00a0(CHD) Chairman Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to remind university officials that federal law prohibits mandating products approved under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration\u2019s\u00a0Emergency Use Authorization<\/a>\u00a0(EUA).<\/p>\n

In a\u00a0letter<\/a>\u00a0to Rutgers President Jonathan Holloway, Kennedy, who also serves as chief legal counsel for CHD, wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cFederal law\u00a021 U.S.C. \u00a7 360bbb-3(e)(1)(A)(ii)(III)<\/a>\u00a0requires that the person to whom an EUA vaccine is administered be advised, \u2018of the option to accept or refuse administration of the product, of the consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product, and of the alternatives to the product that are available and of their benefits and risks.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The reason for the right of refusal stems from the fact that EUA products are by definition\u00a0experimental<\/a>, Kennedy wrote. \u201cUnder the\u00a0Nuremberg Code<\/a>, no one may be coerced to participate in a medical experiment. Consent of the individual is \u2018absolutely essential,\u2019\u201d Kennedy wrote.\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span>Spyder Men\u2019s Hyd…<\/a><\/span><\/span>Buy New\u00a0<\/span>$29.99<\/span><\/span>(as of 03:39 EDT –\u00a0Details<\/span>)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Kennedy said forced participation in a medical experiment could result in injury.<\/p>\n

Dr. Hooman Noorchashm, who also spoke out against Rutgers\u2019 policy, agreed. Specifically, he said, students should be pre-screened for COVID infection before vaccination.<\/p>\n

In an\u00a0open letter to Rutgers<\/a>, Noorchashm, a surgeon and patient safety advocate, wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I fully agree with your policy of maximal immunity for all students and faculty attending in-person on the Rutgers campuses, you must also remain 100% cognizant of a potential danger of indiscriminate vaccination to some of your students. This potential danger is not only a safety risk, it would also pose a risk of liability to your university.\u201d<\/p>\n

Noorchashm has been an outspoken critic of indiscriminate mass vaccination because he believes people already or currently infected with COVID are at risk of severe injury, including death.<\/p>\n

As he told\u00a0The Defender<\/a>\u00a0last week, viral antigens persist in the tissues of the naturally infected for months. According to Noorchashm, when the vaccine is used too early after a natural infection, or worse during an active infection, the vaccine force activates a powerful immune response that attacks the tissues where the natural viral antigens are persisting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis, I suggest, is the cause of the high level of\u00a0adverse events<\/a>\u00a0and, likely deaths, we are seeing in the recently infected following vaccination,\u201d Noorchashm said.<\/p>\n

Holloway last week\u00a0told The New York Times<\/a>\u00a0the vaccine mandate will apply to Rutgers\u2019 three main campuses and that students will have to show \u201cproof of vaccination\u201d before moving into a dorm or attending in-person classes. Students will be able to file for medical or religious exemptions, and those attending online or off-campus programs will also be exempt.<\/p>\n

NBC News<\/a>\u00a0last week reached out to several universities and colleges, which said they would encourage students to get the vaccine, but hadn\u2019t yet decided on mandates.\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span>Men\u2019s Summer Avo…<\/a><\/span><\/span>Buy New\u00a0<\/span>$17.98<\/span><\/span>(as of 03:39 EDT –\u00a0Details<\/span>)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Lynn Pasquerella, president of the Association of American Colleges and Universities, told NBC:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just starting to hear discussion about mandating vaccines, and everyone I\u2019ve talked to has said that they are leaning in the direction of mandating vaccines not just with the students, but with faculty and staff, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to CHD President Mary Holland,\u00a0federal law prohibits<\/a>\u00a0employers from mandating EUA vaccines.<\/p>\n

In December 2020, CHD published \u201cVaccine Mandates: An Erosion of Civil Rights?\u201d The\u00a0downloadable e-book<\/a>\u00a0examines the history and consequences of vaccine mandates, and what you can do to protect yourself and your family members as public officials ramp up the pressure for COVID vaccines.<\/p>\n
