On Wednesday,  Young Americans for Liberty (YAL), which credits itself as “the nation’s most active youth libertarian organization,” announced that it is fighting COVID-19 vaccine mandates on 23 college campuses, “pushing back against government interference in private medical decisions.”

According to the group, “YAL is coordinating with student leaders on campus to rally support against vaccine mandates and promote individual choice during the public-health crisis. The organization is not anti-vaccine, but rather anti-vaccine mandate at taxpayer-funded academic institutions.” 

A press release from the group notes:

In recent months, YAL has been active from coast to coast, most notably at Rutgers University, Virginia Tech University, and the University of Colorado Boulder. At Rutgers, Sara Razi—a junior at the school and one of YAL’s New Jersey state chairs—organized a protest against Rutgers’ vaccine mandate in May, rallying hundreds of students in support of medical freedom. At Virginia Tech, YAL activists have circulated a petition encouraging students to protest mandatory vaccination on campus, garnering hundreds of signatures in a matter of weeks and delivering them to the administration. A similar petition for CU Boulder is being drafted.

YAL has also influenced policymaking at the state level, rallying legislators to fight back against COVID-19 tyranny. Members of YAL’s Hazlitt Coalition—the organization’s growing network of more than 170 pro-liberty legislators from nearly 40 states—have filed 25 bills defending American citizens’ rights against COVID-related infringements.

Razi said, “After Rutgers University became the first university in America to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine, I decided to organize a campaign to stand up for the rights of students to make their own personal medical decisions.” 

“Within a month, YAL and other student groups held a rally on campus with over 600 people attending. Now, YAL has continued this model by creating Student Rights Campaign (SRC) petitions to challenge universities’ tyrannical policies and advance liberty on college campuses.”

Senior YAL spokesman Eric Brakey said, “Individuals should be free to make their own healthcare decisions with their doctors.” He added, “Instead, taxpayer-funded college administrators are imposing one-size-fits-all vaccine mandates on every student, regardless of disability or natural immunity status. That is why I am proud of YAL activists—on 23 college campuses across the country—fighting against these mandates for healthcare freedom. Their activism has never been more important for preserving liberty.”

      1. Give this bullshit a break, especially today!!! I am thinking all this bullshit comes from India, southeast Asia!!! KNOCK IT OFF!!!

  1. Finally, someone on campus is ‘standing up like rugged, independent and, brave Americans. This does not remove the anti-American stigma attached to these University and College staffs or management but, it is a step in the right direction.
    Those who know and can do in the private sector, do well. Those that know but, can’t do t a profit, teach for the State.

  2. There’s something to be said about the world we seniors are leaving to our grandchildren. There’s also a lot to be said about the youth who are growing into that world and their values being voiced and carried forward. Bravo to YAL and others who are doing so.

  3. There is something wrong! They tried to impeach President Trump, for nothing, now we have a criminal in the WH, yes a criminal, how? He aided and gave the tax payers money to the enemy, his regime threatens those grave men and chartered aircraft for trying to save lives, so every death that happens to our people over there now, they are guilty of murder and manslaughter, since they contribute to the people’s deaths, plus they refused to save these people to begin with. What is the matter with our law system, I thought that no one is above the law, then why are they not charging these that are guilty. We elect Presidents and they choose their staff, they are responsible for their staff’s action. Our forefathers gave us our constitution, so we would not put unjust laws and dictators over our country. And now we have a dictator who is literally destroying our country and our cnstituion, these democrats did not wait any time to try and get Trump impeached, but here we have man in less than a year and destroyed all the good works of our President Trump, Why is it so hard to get this traitor, lair, murder and now a manslaughter, forcing a vaccine upon the people of this country, that has kill a lot people, yes my wife’s heart Doctor, he saved my wife’s life when died twice upon the operating table, the hospital where he was working demanded him to get the vaccine or loose his job, well after the stab, he died and the legacy he left and was read at his funeral, he had save over ten thousands of lives, then you try to say this vaccine is safe,no way it has dangerous ingredients in it, even one that is labeled as poison and put into cars and also when administered to children it can make them sterile. I had the virus and pulled through even in my early nineties. I am a Patriot, I served 12 years the USAF and later, two years in civil for the Naval shipyard on nuclear submarines. Thumbs up for those brave veterans who volunteered to go and clean up the mess that was made by our supposedly leader and his White House bunch. I pray that God will bring peace back to this country and give us real honest patriotic leader and try to repair the damage that has been done. Well I delivered my message and I hope to see it happen before I check out of this body and go to be with the Lord, I tried my best while I am here to speak up for what I stand for. God Bless America!

  4. Yah, I witness a friend begging me to get him oxygen as he gasped for air and I wouldn’t wish that on any anti-vaccer. Trump’s fast-track agenda was a medical achievement as were the ancillary meds especially for those of us who want to live and see others live without the ordeal of being infected and contagious possibly watching others close to them die like suffering animals.

  5. Im thinking Texas pushed that Abortion Law as opposition to the forced Vac mandate, and its likely many other states will do the same. That “My Body My Choice” crap the left is spewing out seems only to apply to what they want it to, which is why this Abortion law will spread.
