Liberalism makes you a liar, a hypocrite, and an all-around unserious person, and Cornell University just gave us the perfect example of this truism.
At least since COVID, leftists have been all-in for vaccines. They constantly claim that they are the only ones who care about “science.” But leftists are also completely sold to their racist ideals of wokeism.
These ideologies came into conflict at Cornell University this month when authorities who push vaccines are also besotted with their woke racism.
On one hand, Cornell claims to believe in science and vaccines, but because they are so steeped in wokeism, they have now created a very contradictory woke idea.
Per Campus Reform:
“Students who identify as Black, Indigenous, or as a Person of Color (BIPOC) may have personal concerns about fulfilling the Compact requirements based on historical injustices and current events,” explains Cornell Health’s vaccine requirement FAQ.
Students can send a private message to Cornell Health in order to request a non-medical or non-religious exemption for the immunization. For more information, the FAQ links to a page “especially for students of color,” which is meant to help minority students concerned about the flu vaccine requirement.
“We recognize that, due to longstanding systemic racism and health inequities in this country, individuals from some marginalized communities may have concerns about needing to agree to such requirements,” explains the page. “For example, historically, the bodies of Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) have been mistreated, and used by people in power, sometimes for profit or medical gain.”
The university, therefore, considers it “understandable that the current Compact requirements may feel suspect or even exploitative to some BIPOC members of the Cornell community.
This is the mental disassociation that leftism causes.
Are vaccines science? Aren’t blacks human like everyone else, and subject to science? If so, how can just being a black person negate science?
Liberals are a joke.
