Purdue University President Mitch Daniels, who is not requiring students to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 when they return to campus in the fall, reacts to the breaking news that a federal judge has ruled to uphold nearby Indiana University's vaccine mandate. He defends his decision and tells Chris Jansing that it's "practical" and that "there would be very big enforcement problems" with a mandate.

Purdue President Reacts To Ruling to Uphold Nearby Vaccine Mandate
Red state. Go figure.
Your tax dollars
“The kids of this age group are not at risk” says an old guy who has no medical background whatsoever 🙄 meanwhile kids of that age group are getting covid and dying.
@Romeo The Pride is awakening. Thanks for spreading the truth, fren.
@Shawn Corbin Masks don’t work? I’d love to see your evidence supporting that. However, common sense is an easy clarifier…if I have covid and wear a mask, given that it is spread by respiratory droplets (ones breath) and that said droplets are blocked by the mask, they therefore stop covid transmission. Further, if I wear a mask, I am blocked from breathing other peoples droplets and hence transmission is stopped. In this context how do masks not work?
Shawn, Q followers are mindless sheep. Hive mind. WWG1WGA is the chant of a mindless follower.
@Shaun Sandow I understand all that, but haven’t you seen video of people wearing masks in the cold and all of that steamy breath escapes? Water droplets? Go to the Stanford Medical website to confirm what I said. It’s all there. Back in 1917, medical journals said that masks were ineffective after the fact. 104 years ago, the medical community didn’t have an agenda like the one today. That’s my point. Besides, unless you’re fitted with an N-95 daily by a surgical tech, you’re still not achieving efficacy with even an N-95. Further use beyond 8 hours causes pathogens and fungi to congregate in the mesh. N-95 mesh= 5 microns, Viruses are .01-.03 microns respectively.. it’s like installing chain link fence to keep out mosquitoes. Be honest.
@Wigit BLM is the brainless chant 🤡
Love how he never really answers her questions. Typical Republican, double talk.
@Shawn Corbin
Lmaoooooo
Awe khabrahov pederast Pushkin
You’ve been watching too much of queen vladz RT Cartoon Network little princess
Lmaoooooo
@Shawn Corbin
I didn’t ask for you troll farm resume agrapov
But as usual?
You only know submission
Lmaoooooo
@Redjam Redjam I didn’t ask for your demented psychbobabble either to engage with, you volunteered. C ya.
It’s just a Narrative AS SHE THROWS HER PEN DOWN IN DISGUST that Americans aren’t listing to there 💩 Anymore. NOT TRUST IN MEDIA OR LIBERAL SCIENCE 😂😂🤡🤡
@Wigit Who is their highest stock holder?
He needs votes from the dolts .
Grieve for Purdue’s student population.
The students are perfectly fine without the jab. It’s called NATURAL IMMUNITY
@Romeo is that why 600,000 Americans have already died from covid?
@Belly Dancer Em how many children under 12?? 🤡
@Romeo more than zero, which is too many. Besides, you do want to be the one who has to tell those families that thier children had to die because you don’t want a vaccine?
@Belly Dancer Em you can’t give me stats 🤡 typical confederate democrat
A university that will not follow science? Ridiculous.
Politics is nearly taboo in Indiana.
@Belly Dancer Em I’m alive and healthy. Like all the children and anyone under 27
@Romeo So, with US population being 320 million – its fine if we take 6.4 million casualties?
@LF313 you’re making up numbers in your head. You must be Q
Perdue are engineers. You know the thing; critical thinking?
Indiana is the East Texas of the north. Talking sense wastes time. Good questioning on how Covid immunization differs from Diptheria, Mumps and, Smallpox. Weasel words followed.
I know all about it I’ve watched lots of programs and listen to different scientists… It’s very much so unproven….
Hurrah for the court! Judges are more courageous & logical than politicians, including this president.
It’s not fair for unvaccinated to put doctors & nurses through the emergency care
.
Another Republican over looking data that is being reported everyday. Personal responsibility at the expense of the health of others.
Your endangering all of your students and staff . You are a learning inst. Learn Mr Republican
Colleges have excelled at implementing many requirements. I’m guessing this isn’t a choice rationale but a financial one.
I dont get the dance around the issue. Republicans want to eat their cake and have it too.
This guy from Purdue is a salesman, politician, and recruiter getting the outcasts from other schools to attend his school. There’s nothing more to it. ‘We wanna take every step available to ensure safety yada yada yada’……….horse hockey!!!!!
Politics is taboo in Indiana.
Purdue University needs a smarter President. Geez. Is he not aware that unvaccinated and vaccinated people can spread COVID-19 to those who will be at higher risk?!?
Misinformation
So he thinks contact tracing and isolation is more practical then checking vaccination records? How? Come on now!
He wears a shirt that says “Perdue for Life” — not requiring the vaccine is inviting death.
Oh the irony in that shirt
I guess Perdue doesn’t have a medical school, or offer a microbiology major. It’s revolting that such an ignorant person is in the field of education.
It’s mostly industrial engineering. Indiana is diehard Republican (except for its capitol, of course). So, doors swing for the elites, like governors, or vice presidents. They’re not considered elites, as I do, because politics is practically taboo in Indiana.
Keep your eyes on Purdue this fall.
No wonder america is so far down the education league tables with sickness like that in charge of the “universities”
He calls that a practical decision. Yeah, right . So is allowing chemical dumps in the land, water and air.
