Demonstrators marched around campus and speakers denounced the university’s decision to mandate at least three vaccine doses

A protest against Western University’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate drew hundreds of people to the southwestern Ontario campus on Saturday for what an event organizer called the beginning of the push to overturn the controversial policy.

Speakers at the demonstration included a medical student, a former Huron University College professor who said she refused to comply with the school’s previous vaccine mandate, and the Haldimand-Norfolk health unit’s acting chief medical officer of health who has been an outspoken critic of COVID-19 mandates.

Western is the only university in Canada to mandate booster shots for all staff and students on campus. Donalds criticized what he called a lack of transparency around the university’s decision. He also questioned the timing of the announcement, which came after some students had already paid the first tuition installment.

These brave souls will win at the end.

Now they want choice. A little late to the Freedom party but great to see even gen z is waking up, maybe even a bit resentful about being bamboozled or coerced into the jab in the first place.

Don’t the best and the brightest attend Western?

There are other university’s, find another and go there . Same as the work place , if I don’t agree or like where I’m working either deal with it of find another place to work .

Do these people seriously have nothing better to do

.33%. Of students 😂

Good on them! Western is so wrong on this! They’ll pay for it in the courts!

Close the university down / if they cannot see through corruption they should not be teaching

Lots of new opportunities if the covidiots go elsewhere, and they should, soon as they’re done their little tantrum.

This is Canada future intellectual!!Very sad they don’t understand that in order to have a full year of school without disruption they need to protect themselves and others! If there’s an outbreak at the university,they will have to shutdown the university!! Basic logic

Hundreds applying the science. Good for Western. How easily people r distracted by a simple face covering.

Do not worry about COVID “vaccine” injuries - PM has your back

Food for thought- COVID-19 vaccine & boosters were all created using only one protein of the original strain from 2 yrs ago, which no longer circulates HOW do they even protect or provide milder symptoms against Omicron which is far removed from the original & is already milder?

None of them are students lol

How many gazillions does covid bring for BigCorp, CorpMedia, BigGov, BigAcademia? What other explanation is there for a 3yr old 99.8 recovery bug that has both a treatment & jab for, that's comparable 2 many annual bugs..

The VaccineTerrorists are contaminating our environment! Time to remove these cancers!

No Vaccine if you are a Money donair

Hundreds political science students.

Lol. “Hundreds”?

'I think when they consult students they’ll find people want choice back and people want to remove all the mandates.' Hear! Hear! VaccineSideEffects

So many rich Calgarians ‘libertarians’ there.

As they should 👏

Finally, people are waking up. Wait until they find out what is really in that shot. I would call it a vax but that is laughable at this point. Once you admit you have be had...this all makes sense

Boo Hoo , change schools !!!!

Western University students set to protest school’s COVID-19 vaccine, mask mandatesThe London, Ont., university announced Monday that anyone on campus in the fall must have at least three COVID-19 shots and wear masks in classrooms. Please see my “Letter to the Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford” opposing WesternU's recent COVID-19 policy update. StoptheShots EnoughIsEnough Ridiculous! Wake up! Life is being lived again! Implementing these kinds of measures at this stage makes zero sense. Next thing, they’ll be forcing flu shots on their students! I'm a big proponent of vaccines and other stuff we've done to stay safe, but this is pushing it a bit far at this point in the game. We're close enough to the finish line that we can chill out on masking.
