Incoming freshman loses scholarship after refusing to get covid vaccine due to medical conditions - Daily Mail

Olivia Sandor, 18, says she lost a $200,000 scholarship and was denied admission to Brigham Young University–Hawaii after requesting exemption from the school's COVID-19 vaccine requirement due to a pre-existing medical condition.

An incoming college freshman was denied admission to her dream school and lost $200,000 in scholarships because she would not get vaccinated against coronavirus due to a pre-existing medical condition.  .

Olivia Sandor, 18, said Brigham Young University–Hawaii (BYUH) denied her fall admission due to state and college vaccination requirements, despite the fact that they had already awarded her scholarship money.

She said that while attending BYUH was her dream, the risks associated with the coronavirus vaccine do not outweigh the reward.

Sandor appeared on Sean Hannity's Fox News on Monday night to share her outrage at BYU-Hawaii's decision to deny her admission over her COVID-19 vaccination status .

Sandor submitted an letter from her doctor (pictured above) requesting exemption from BYUH's COVID-19 vaccination requirement due to her history of Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

The exemption letter written by Sandor's doctor, and made public by Turning Point USA, reads in part: 'Because of [Sandor's] medical history I believe a COVID vaccine or another influenza vaccine will endanger her health and possibly her life' and that she 'should avoid those vaccines indefinitely'. .

The university also encouraged her to considering attending BYUH when she is able to be 'fully vaccinated' or to 'consider attendance at one of [their] other church universities'. .

Sandor (photographed above) reportedly developed GBS after receiving an influenza vaccine in 2019 and was paralyzed from the waist down for over a month.

She says that while attending BYUH was her dream, the risks associated with her getting the coronavirus vaccine are 'not worth it'.

The CDC says 'people who have previously had GBS may receive a COVID-19 vaccine' and that, as of June 16, no cases of GBS have been reported following vaccination in participants in the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials. One case of GBS was reported in a vaccinated participant in the Johnson & Johnson Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine clinical trial

BYUH (seen above) is just one of more than 500 colleges mandating students be fully vaccinated against COVID-19

Now the state is permitting fully vaccinated travelers from the U.S

Similarly to other state required immunizations, BYUH is also mandating students be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before attending the university

In total, 161 million people have been fully vaccinated - about 49.1 percent of the US population

More than 99 percent of COVID-19 deaths and 97 percent of hospitalizations are among people who have not been vaccinated, according to the CDC
