Very Disturbing- NYC Mayor Adams now says private biz no longer has to require covid vaccination [View all]

I found this out from an email from the Art Student's League stating due to this they will no longer require students and I suppose staff as well, to be vaccinated for covid. This is very disturbing. I am not surprised but really what a way to say we don't gad anymore. It is more evidence of the insanity of the US. They said if your professor requires you wear a mask and that is an issue to please consider taking another class! What a way to say we don't care about our faculty or anyone else including ourselves except for the bottom line.

I am also disturbed that in my college people are being allowed to attend classes now who have not met the other vaccination requirements. That never happened in the past. I am not talking about covid here, that vaccination as far as I know is still mandatory, to be able to attend at all, but how long will that last for now with the way things are going.. I am talking about measles, mumps, meningitis etc. In the past I was told each semester to not let any students on this list attend class. None were ever still in attendance. Now they are being allowed to attend while the college is negotiating getting them to comply. Supposedly they will be booted out if they don't. But they are currently attending and possibly endangering everyone.
