Yale Students Who Survive Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccines Are Being Trained to Become Our Future Tyrant Leaders
Since the beginning of the pandemic, Yale University has required all students to mask indoors in public spaces. But it was 9:30 p.m on a Saturday night, and the library was deserted. With no one within at least 150 feet of him, a Yale senior decided to relax with a movie—and without a mask. It got him reported to the school’s COVID hotline. According to the Yale senior, another student walked into the library and demanded he mask up. Since he didn’t have one on him, the senior said he would leave. As he was gathering his belongings, the other student pulled out her phone and began filming him. When the senior asked for her name, the student raised her middle finger and stormed off. Two days later, he received a notice from the Yale administration that he had been reported for violating the school’s "Community Compact," a set of rules put in place to "promote the health and safety of all community members." The student was given 24 hours to provide the "Compact Review Committee" with "any relevant information" he would like it to consider during the official "evaluation" of his conduct. He was ultimately found guilty of a violation and threatened with a "public health withdrawal." "The [committee] has determined that your conduct posed a risk to the health and safety of yourself or other community members," the university wrote the student two weeks later. "Should you continue to engage in behavior that violates the Yale Community Compact, you will be placed on Public Health Warning and may face more serious outcomes, including the removal of permission to be on campus." COVID has normalized such surveillance throughout higher education. Many institutions, including Northwestern University, Carnegie Mellon University, Johns Hopkins University, Brown University, and Harvard University, have set up online forms and hotlines for students to anonymously report COVID "safety" violations. Yale is a microcosm of the culture these policies are creating. For some students, it is also an ominous preview of what will happen when their peers graduate, as the norms of the ivory tower diffuse into the wider world.
