JB Pritzker / IMAGE: ABC 7 Chicago (Greg Bishop, The Center Square ) Most everyone in Illinois schools, including college students, must to get vaccinated or be regularly tested for COVID-19, Gov. J.B. Pritzker ’s mandated Thursday in his latest executive order.
The governor also said masks will be required indoors statewide Monday.
Now a year-and-a-half into the pandemic, and nearly four months since vaccines have been widely available, Pritzker issued another mask mandate and ordered health care workers, school staff from preschool to college, and college students, to get vaccinated.
“Effective Sept. 5, individuals working in these settings who are unable or unwilling to receive their first dose of vaccine will be required to get tested for COVID-19 at least once a week and [Illinois Department of Public health] and [Illinois State Board of Education] may require more frequent testing in certain situations, like in an outbreak.”
Beginning Monday, masks will be required in all places for people older than 2 years old “regardless of vaccination status,” the governor said.
“Masks work, period,” Pritzker said.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
