This is nuts but hey

If you're not in Ohio, the legislature passed a bill at the 11th hour of its session to ban most public K-12 & colleges from requiring any vaccine only on an emergency authorization by the FDA (the covid vaccines). The governor said he's veto but at *his* 11th hour, signed it.
No definitive explanation publicly as to why, but presumably if he had, he believed the legislature would come back with something even worse. He's also hoping the EUAs become permanent FDA approval soon enough that the issue is moot.
Yesterday, Cleveland State University, a public school, which had previously announced a vaccine mandate, said the bill doesn't kick in until October 12 and school starts in August so they were sticking with their mandate. And now today, Governor DeWine says the same thing.
Maybe this is all indeed the best way to navigate public health in a state with so many reactionaries in power but it's also objectively terrible.
Also this state has some of the best hospitals and medical schools in the country.
