Open Letter to PSC-CUNY President James Davis and the PSC leadership Concerning Support for Covid-19 mandates: A Critique, and a Proposal Dear President Davis and Co., We are CUNY staff, faculty, students and community members deeply disturbed by your continued support over the past few years for CUNY management’s policies for dealing with Covid-19. Both of your organizations, like many other educational institutions and union leaderships, have fallen right in line with Federal and New York State’s mandates that we be injected with the experimental “Covid-19” mRNA/adenovirus vaccines, and for masking, social distancing, etc. We believe this lockstep support poses a serious threat to

In a lot of ways we got lucky with how mild Covid is, compared to something like MERS or Ebola. There are indeed a lot of lessons to be learned from Covid and the responses, but capitalist nations are beholden to capital, lives and health don’t matter, and all inconvenient lessons will be made to disappear.
