(Learn more about why Cornell is requiring flu vaccination for students.) 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, and may find this information helpful in considering an exemption.

Compliance with Testing & Flu Vaccine Requirements
Cornell's Behavioral Compact for Fall 2020 outlines several important steps that students must take as they return to Ithaca. In addition to requiring the wearing of masks and engagement in physical distancing, the Compact requires students to participate in ongoing surveillance testing for COVID-19 and to be vaccinated against seasonal influenza. Collectively, these measures are critical for reducing viral infections within our community and also protecting the most vulnerable among us (e.g., older individuals and people with pre-existing health conditions). Access to COVID-19 testing and flu vaccine is made available for all students by systems put in place at the beginning of the school year.

A history of mistreatment & lack of access to appropriate care
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. For example, historically, the bodies the of Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) have been mistreated, and used by people in power, sometimes for profit or medical gain. It is understandable that the current Compact requirements may feel suspect or even exploitative to some BIPOC members of the Cornell community. Additionally, recent acts of violence against Black people by law enforcement may contribute to feelings of distrust or powerlessness. We know this history and validate the potential concerns it may raise. At the same time, we know that long-standing social inequalities and health disparities have resulted in COVID-19 disproportionately affecting BIPOC individuals. Higher percentages of individuals from these communities become infected with COVID, and the health outcomes related to infection are often more serious. Away from campus community, BIPOC individuals are not as likely to have access to preventive services or quality health care. The systems, services, and policies being implemented at Cornell seek to address these inequalities as well as the differential impacts.

The importance of this moment
The aforementioned inequities and injustices may lead some individuals to have reservations about testing and immunization, yet it is also important to acknowledge the critical role these measures play in protecting community health and well-being. In fact, they are likely to be especially helpful for BIPOC communities. For example, annual influenza vaccination is recommended for every individual 6 months or older who does not have medical contraindications, as it is the best way to help protect against flu. The vaccine has been shown to reduce the risk of flu illnesses, hospitalizations, and flu-related deaths. Those who get the vaccine not only protect themselves, but also the people around them who may be more vulnerable to serious flu illness, including infants, older adults, and those with underlying health conditions. They are designed to help students stay safe, and they are part of the quality health care students can access while on campus. We strongly recommend that students comply with these requirements. At the same time, we understand that someone may know the science and still feel distrusting of health care and may have addition questions.

Support along the way
While Cornell Health is not directly conducting the vaccine administration or the COVID-19 arrival testing and surveillance testing at Cornell, our staff members work closely with the groups and departments who are. We can be a resource if you need more information, an exemption, or have related questions, concerns. Please contactcornellhealth@cornell.edu.

“Honk honk”

The only appropriate response.

the virus is woke

In before B Rad and his pseudo black bullchit

BIPOC? More like LOL


Jesus Christ universities need to be put to the fire already. Tax dollars going to fund these commie factories

I never liked that word POC(person of color). I'm Latin. So i fall in that category even tho i'm i have a whiter complexion.

Sounds like an open declaration of war on whites tbh. When will enough be enough, people?

It's probably just because black people have very robust immune systems I think...

I skimmed it and I don't see where they said what you said they did.

BIPOC
LGBTQI2A
BankersLawyersPlumbersCodersLibrarians

make colleges great again. i'd pull my kid out of that **** hole today

i thought viruses affected minorities more than white people

always cringe when you hear chit like "black bodies", "latinx", "BIPOC"

Won't ever happen. America is lost

You're an absolute putz if you think the college holds any cards in this situation. If everyone simply said no they'd be out of customers. Unfortunately you'll never convince everyone to not take it, so you'll more than likely have to bend the knee or get shafted out of your degree which costs thousands and thousands.

This. About to neg for misleading bait thread title.

We're no longer approaching the cliff

We're free falling

There is no going back

I can't believe how fast this is happening srs

Logic

Leftists

*******s

Pick the last 2.

Sorry, was on different page, got this on reddit.

Yea the flu shot fked my buddy up for a year almost. Burning sensation, couldn't sleep, had to cut out black pepper out of his diet.

Rofl. Ok that is bizarre. I really wonder how long this stuff will go on for.

Absolutely the most bizarre social trend I have witnessed.

But keep in mind that we want these progressives to keep going full retard like this. Because that is what will cause the inevitable correction to it.

Sounds like anyone can apply for an exemption, but they're giving people of color the cheat code and just telling them what to write on the application.

No, that's just misinformation just in case "racist" folk want to go out and purposefully "infect" people like cough on them srs

This, and it says flu vaccine right? Not covid vaccine, right?
Bold where what you wrote is stated please OP.

WOW! I just found out that I am 1/2000th black! I guess I am getting that exemption.

Looks like it's time to start reading the Quran.

Send em

What does social justice have to do with the flu? Someone should file an equal opportunity lawsuit.Literally just "identify" as whatever you want. If i was a student there, i'd just claim i'm black.

Flu shot fuked up an old coworker. His face blew up for about a year and finally went down but he looks completely different. Once a chad azn and now a weird lookin dude. I woulda roped SRS. Not getting any vaccines THX

Once complete strangers start calling you "black", then everybody else will start saying "wait - he's black, right", even if you yourself don't self-identity as black. So there you go, now you're black srs.

Like calling you a tranny, even if you don't identify as that lol

so what are they gonna do if you claim to be black? nothing?
