President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday ensuring that any school or university requiring COVID-19 vaccinations will lose federal funding. The move follows his administration’s continued efforts to eliminate vaccine mandates and restore personal medical freedom.
The order directs the Department of Health and Human Services, under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, and the Secretary of Education to develop a system to identify noncompliant institutions and cut off their federal grants. Schools that enforce vaccine mandates will no longer receive financial support from the federal government.
Trump just defunded any school that still has a COVID jab requirement. I voted for this.

“Threatening students with exclusion over a vaccine they don’t need is an unacceptable attack on freedom,” the order states. While many institutions have already abandoned their vaccine requirements, some universities still force students—particularly those in on-campus housing—to take the shot.
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 order builds on his previous decision to reverse vaccine mandates in the military, which had led to the dismissal of service members who refused to comply. His administration is now taking similar action against schools that continue imposing outdated COVID-19 rules.
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.

Although some Democrats, including Sen. Patty Murray, have criticized the measure, Trump has remained firm on his stance that no institution enforcing a COVID-19 vaccine mandate should receive federal funding. His executive order fulfills a campaign promise and sends a strong message that medical freedom will be protected under his leadership.
The order does not impact long-standing vaccine requirements for diseases like measles or polio. Instead, it focuses solely on COVID-19, which has been used as a political tool to justify unnecessary mandates.
