President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday preventing any school or university with a COVID-19 vaccine mandate from receiving federal funding. The move is aimed at eliminating forced vaccinations and defending medical freedom for students across the country.
The order tasks the Department of Health and Human Services, led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, and the Department of Education with identifying schools still enforcing vaccine requirements and stripping them of federal grants. Any institution refusing to comply will lose financial support from the federal government.
Trump just defunded any school that still has a COVID jab requirement. I voted for this.

Although most schools have abandoned their mandates, some universities have continued to enforce them, particularly for students in on-campus housing. No College Mandates, a group advocating against vaccine requirements, reported in December 2024 that at least 15 universities were still mandating COVID-19 shots.
Remember when Biden threatened that if you don’t get the covid vaccine you will die??
Trump just stripped funding from schools if they mandate the vaccine.

Trump’s executive action follows his earlier order reversing the military’s vaccine mandate, which had led to the discharge of service members who refused the shot. That order declared the policy an unjust and unnecessary burden, allowing those affected to seek reinstatement.
Trump has fired a warning shot to Big Pharma says Dr Naomi Wolf with his ban on funding schools that mandate the covid vaccine.
Schools were given millions of dollars to ‘traffic the kids bodies essentially for Pharma’.
That all stops now.

Democrats have pushed back against Trump’s latest move, with Sen. Patty Murray calling it “unethical.” However, Trump has consistently promised that no school enforcing a COVID-19 vaccine mandate would receive taxpayer dollars, and this order fulfills that commitment.
By cutting off federal funding, Trump is ensuring that schools no longer have the power to use vaccine mandates as a condition for education. Institutions will now be forced to reconsider their policies or risk losing financial support.
