Science, follow the science -- freemason 06/09/2021 05:34AM

What does the science say about the long term effects of the virus? -- jmanatVT 06/09/2021 09:29AM

Any word on "loosely held religious beliefs"? ** -- Coach McGuirk 06/08/2021 8:32PM

Shame we are going down such a silly path. Keep it optional and drive on. -- GSOHokie01 06/08/2021 8:18PM

Ridiculous, I know people now looking elsewhere to continue school ** -- coshokie 06/08/2021 7:51PM

As a good comparison, Houston Methodist has been in news for vaccine. -- HWA 06/09/2021 11:18AM

I never said great numbers. But ridiculous to require of kids that age ** -- coshokie 06/09/2021 11:26AM

LOL... ** -- great2bahokie 06/09/2021 06:27AM

Why not just require them for the faculty and staff, too... -- HokieSignGuy 06/08/2021 6:17PM

I taught face-to-face in the fall and spring. I don’t advocate required -- HokieEngineer 06/08/2021 9:12PM

Haven’t seen that explained yet** -- TabbHokie 06/08/2021 7:03PM

I haven’t. But I’d assume it has to do with employer/employee legal stuff -- HokieSignGuy 06/08/2021 7:05PM

UW doesn’t require for staff but WSU does -- TabbHokie 06/08/2021 7:19PM

Grabs popcorn. Sets alarm clock for fall.... ** -- ColoVT82 06/08/2021 6:15PM

Crazy times... -- Vtskier1 06/08/2021 6:10PM

Is that allowed? -- EDGEMAN 06/08/2021 6:07PM

Virginia AG says it’s legal I think ** -- TabbHokie 06/08/2021 7:01PM
