US colleges will require students to be vaccinated, despite state policies:
A growing number of US colleges have said all students must be fully vaccinated before returning to campus, in a move likely to anger some state governors. At least 14 colleges have said vaccination will be required so far, according to a CNN tally, and that number is expected to grow.
In late March Rutgers University became one of the first institutions to declare that having all students vaccinated will allow for an "expedited return to pre-pandemic normal."
Cornell, Brown, Notre Dame, Northeastern, Syracuse, Ithaca and Fort Lewis have made similar announcements, though all will make exceptions for medical or religious reasons. Cornell has also created an online registration tool so students and staff can register their vaccination status.
Two colleges, St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas, and Nova Southeastern University (NSU) in Broward, Florida, have gone a step further, requiring students and all campus employees to be vaccinated.
NSU's policy puts it on a collision course with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. After NSU's announcement on April 1 DeSantis signed an executive order stating that vaccines are available but not mandated. Crucially the order prohibits any government entity or business from requiring a vaccine passport. NSU said Thursday that it is reviewing the executive order.

What answer you need? When you want to harm people, but are too cowardly to go and beat up someone, and so wait for government to designate safe targets for you? It is not "civilized", dude, you delude yourself. "Fascist" is what it is.
Das Dritte Reich designated Jews and Slavs as "Untermenschen", for the cowardly followers to have their safe fun. The fun turned out not to be that safe in the end, but some tens of millions did not live to see the fun-loving guys and gals receive their just desserts. Now your Leaders designate "ableists", "denialists" etc for your safe fun and you run with it. Who wants to study that pesky history, indeed?

Problem is, the sense of entitlement to lord it over others is an irreparable defect.

Actual competence and knowledge absolutely gives authority over the very really stupid people following Rupert Murdock and his Merry Australian Right-wing Tory agenda. America? Ruled by Auzzie proxies of the Royal British Empire? Never thought I would see it. Yes, we will lord it over your deplorable Stupidity, get used to it.
