Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, told its campuses this month to fuggedaboudit when it comes to COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
It's not clear the taxpayer-funded institution, which tested the jabs for reduction of symptoms but not transmission in clinical trials for Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, can forget about legal consequences, however.
A lawsuit by independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Children's Health Defense seems destined for the Supreme Court to determine whether Rutgers "suspending" the mandate, as an April 1 systemwide email announced, is enough to end the litigation.
The University of California Los Angeles didn't fare so well when it tried to end a class-action suit against its former mandate by fired employees, with a Superior Court judge ruling in January that some parts of the case could proceed to legal discovery.
