If you thought the coercion around the the Covid jabs was the end of it . . . now look at what’s happening in Berkeley:
The University of California, Berkeley will require that students, faculty, and staff who have not received their flu vaccines wear a mask while on campus this fall and winter.
The Daily Californian, UC Berkeley’s student newspaper, reported that those who have not received a flu shot by Dec. 1 will be required to wear a mask on campus through the end of flu season, even if COVID-19 restrictions are “loosened.”
Right now, masks are strongly recommended indoors and outdoors regardless of vaccination status, University Health Services (UHS) spokesperson Tami Cate told The Californian. Masks are required at all times in the university’s health care facilities.
Update: SDA commenter ‘Killer Marmot’ has pointed out that UC Berkeley has now lifted this insane mandate. Incidentally, in this recent podcast, Dr. Drew Pinsky pointed out that the pro-mask, pro-jab advocates are simply not willing to give up the power and limelight they’ve relished the past 2.5 years. This so describes Lee Riley, one of the a$$holes behind the original policy. The fact that this “educated” man seems to have no knowledge of the history of “othering” marginalized groups is frightening.
You WILL assimilate in the name of diversity!
You’re out of date. The mask mandate has been lifted…

…perhaps because a lot of people pointed out how dumb it is.
I’m shocked. Considering the massive number of Chinese students attending UC Berkeley … and the fact that the Chinese all wear masks and ride bicycles like 3rd world peasants.
Not to worry, there are still at least 20% of our population directly East of UC Berkeley who are still wearing masks.
Disgusting rules that basically are branding unvaxxed students with a scarlet letter. Now that places like Florida, Denmark and Norway are no longer recommending shots for younger age groups, how can these universities mandating or coercing shots avoid liability for vaccine injuries? Pretty sure “follow the money” applies here – did the university agree to segregation and discrimination in return for pharamaceutical and government grants?
Students wearing a mask should be using the mask as a billboard against medical coercion and violations of medical privacy.
Note: missed that this is for the flu shot but I think the points still stand considering other universities still have covid vaccine mandates.
Hopefully all Berkeley profs and students will get a COVID booster shot every two months.
I encourage the vaccines among all of academia throughout the west.
Its called Bezerkely for a reason.
Pharma must have cut that check.
The quad vaxed mask junkies want to be able to wear masks and not be mistaken for dirty anti-vaxxers.. The idea that they want to take off their armband was the first mistake..
Wasn’t Berkeley the place where they were creating judenfrei zones? I mean, you say they’re ignorant about the history of “othering” marginalized groups, but it really seems to me like they know exactly what they’re doing.
At this rate they’re 6-12 months out from declaring a ‘final solution’ for those pesky, problematic unvaxxed folks.
“The pro-mask, pro-jab advocates are simply not willing to give up the power and limelight they’ve relished the past 2.5 years…”
True. But there’s another aspect that the bastards are worried about too as their lies become evermore evident and public anger mounts: how to disengage without making it look like a retreat.
Next their going to demand censorship of the internet. Oh, wait, they already are!
