Campus Torture
August 31, 2020
THEY have close to zero chance of dying or being seriously sickened by Covid,* and yet healthy college students are being subjected to virtual incarceration again this semester while they and their parents continue to pay normal tuition fees. From the parent of a student at Vanderbilt University:
“No roommates … all online classes, no in person activities, dining halls closed, libraries closed except under very strict guidance, no visiting another dorm room, 6-ft distance at all times, masks mandatory when not in dorm room, cannot leave the Nashville area, circles drawn on quad area, threats of suspension/expulsion for first offense, security guards posted throughout campus to enforce rules, kids encouraged to report non-compliance, etc.
“After having been on campus for a week, my daughter has not met nor spoken to a single person. She is in her dorm room in front of her computer at almost all times, and the only times she really leaves are when she picks up her to-go meals. This is a very depressing situation.”

It takes a lot of psychological pain to keep the illusion of a pandemic going. These college students are unpaid actors in a running commercial for an unnecessary and almost certainly dangerous vaccine. They are unpaid crisis actors in a fake crisis. They’re not just unpaid — they are paying for the privilege of their assigned roles.

*According to the Centers for Disease Control, about 20 people between the age of 0 and 24 (see “comorbidity” table; that’s six percent of 330) have died of Covid; the CDC does not say how many of these are within the 18-22 age group. These numbers are themselves questionable because of the unreliability of Covid tests. However, assuming they are true, more people are struck by lightening every year in the U.S. than the total deaths from Covid of all healthy young people under age 24. Even unhealthy young people with serious illnesses have an extremely low risk. Imagine confining students to their dorm rooms and preventing all social interaction in order to prevent them from being struck by lightening and you get some idea of the insanity of these measures.
Given these facts, the alleged virus itself cannot be the reason for these severe measures at colleges, however many college administrators sincerely believe that it is.
Given these facts, parents of college students have just cause to file lawsuits against colleges for violations of civil rights and fraud. They should attempt to recover their expenses and seek damages for mental and physical harm to students.
