rackcs Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 4 minutes ago, -Hope- said: yep. we're doing our best though. https://www.clickondetroit.com/all-about-ann-arbor/2020/09/07/university-of-michigan-graduate-employees-to-strike-calling-for-safe-campus/ University of Maryland had one of their shuttle drivers try to get two students to wear mask and kicked them off when they refused. The students then threw rocks as the bus drove away and busted one of the windows. Instead of backing up the driver and punishing the students, the UMD Department of Transportation (or DOTs as it is known) told the driver it was his fault and he shouldn't have tried to enforce the mask mandate despite it being the law. This is just the latest in a long line of reasons why "**** DOTs" is a popular saying on campus. Seriously, **** DOTs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you calling the schools corrupt corporations? Otherwise I dont know why you replied to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I dont know why you replied to me No, I’m calling private lenders predatory corporations, who have engaged in a campaign to ensure that tuition is artificially-inflated and not addressed by legislation, to create such an industry and maintain it. Meanwhile, universities are simply corrupt entities. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't thought of that until you said it - you're right, good to know they're not checking boxes without validating items such as this. That's my fear with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyPhil1781 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) From what I understand, it could be a pile of nothing. It's one person out of tens of thousands. Yes, one person is a big deal but they could've eaten a bad batch of fish and chips and got sick (not pertaining to this instance). It's a necessary precaution but seemingly nothing to get too concerned about just yet. If more cases of transverse myelitis come up, yes, much bigger deal. Then again, I've proven I know nothing so I'm surely wrong. Carry on.... Edited September 9, 2020 by BobbyPhil1781 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a company gives out a vaccine and there are any safety issues, the lawsuits stand whether the FDA gave approval or not. So as much as the government's behavior may not be ideal, the risk:reward equation on lying hasn't changed. That's good news. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person who has had the reaction had an existing neurological condition. During a vaccine trial such events are common place."
