Rutgers University Continuing Mask and Vaccine MandateRutgers University plans to keep its mask and vaccine mandate in place for the fall semester, citing risks of both the Chinese coronavirus as well as monkeypox. 😶😶 Great news. It's fantastic to see Rutgers university enforcing double masking. The absurdity never ends!! The forced masking of the community is both disgusting and dehumanising!! Masks provide very little protection from the spread of the virus and are more a symbol of suppression and submission to the authorities rather than effective medical advice!!
