Dear University Committee for Reopening Campus:
I know that The University of South Alabama dedicates itself to diversity, inclusion, and belonging of all students, so I’d like to work on a solution that allows all faculty and students the right to religious and medical freedoms, informed consent, and free will in this unique Covid-era. I’m encouraging you to have a conversation with individuals like myself who are not politically or monetarily funded. I hope that you will allow the Jags family the freedom to show their faces, breathe fresh oxygen, and connect fully again beginning this Summer term! I strongly urge you to lift your mask mandate immediately!
Why?
#1 – Masks are ineffective, politically motivated, and have health consequences
Masks are ineffective. They actually are proven to cause physiological and psychological health consequences, which I feel the college should be liable for. University decision-makers are listening to Dr. Fauci, who has not treated one Covid patient, the NIH director, which owns patents to the Moderna vaccine. I encourage you to look over my extensive research – my personal favorite linked in the research is a video of Fauci himself saying that masks only make people “feel good” and they create “unintended consequences.” Don’t worry; you won’t find news articles or conspiracy theories linked here! Will the University stand for medical freedom?
#2 – Coercion is Not Consent
USA students are required to attend Sexual Misconduct training online to be a student. I find it ironic that the college teaches young adults about consent in regards to hugging, kissing, touching, and sexual activities but not in regards to other things forced upon their bodies (such as breathing fresh oxygen, the most basic human right; or the option to refuse non-FDA approved products such as masks, covid testing, and possibly vaccinations at some point). What’s the difference? To some, a forced penis in the body is not nearly as bad as a forced carcinogenic and fetal reproductive toxin forced in the body (I’m speaking of PEG; an ingredient in the vaccine). I know that probably is a “shocker statement” to make….but with all respect, it is the TRUTH for some individuals. Will the University stand for informed consent, and not coercion?
#3 – Spiritual/Religious Freedoms
For many people, like my family, a mask is a spiritual/religious point of concern. We are followers of Jesus Christ, who touched the leper. Our religion also does not allow a facial covering (veiling the face) and clearly states not to fear a virus/plague. We live in faith that God holds our lives in the palm of His great hand. I have seen masks destroy relationships, love, connection, and so much more. I strongly believe it is an act of the enemy. According to your Nondiscrimination Policy, religion is a legally protected class free of discrimination and provided with equal access. No governor’s health order, college policy, or pandemic supersedes our Constitutionally protected rights (US Federal Law Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964). Both head coverings and facial coverings have a long history in religious writings and are included in religious discrimination law. To put it in perspective, this would be similar to the university asking a Muslim to remove the head covering for entry, or a member of the Jewish faith to remove the yarmulke as a condition of entry. I understand the mask policy applies to “all people the same, regardless of religion” — which in essence is telling the student body that you have to eat a ham sandwich to enter campus and the rule applies to everyone. Would you make the Muslim student eat the ham sandwich? Will the University stand for religious freedom and freedom of thought?
#4 – Masks, Covid Tests, and Vaccines are not authorized, FDA-approved products.
21 US Code, 360bbb-3 that states no emergency authorized medical product can be forced as individuals have “the option to accept or refuse administration of the product.” (e 1 A ii III). This includes masks, PCR tests, and vaccinations. I know the college is already pressuring students to get the vaccine, so I’d encourage you to read this article on why some individuals do not want the vaccine. There is a lot of false information going around that the vaccine“ is FDA approved”. If you look at the 2nd paragraph of any of the vaccine inserts, you will see this certainly is NOT the case. This is an experimental vaccine with no long-term studies. If I am wrong in that statement, please point me to the studies. The CDC who everyone seems to follow has a long history of experimental vaccines/shady past of doing things wrong and apologizing after it’s too late. Just one example is the Tuskegee Experiment. Will the University allow students to decide if they want to be a part of the “Covid-19 experiment” using unauthorized/unapproved products?
#5 – Alabama State – Governor Mandate Lifted & Personal Responsibility Encouraged
Those who choose to get vaccinated and wear masks certainly have the option to do so at this point. I will stand for their freedom as well. I encourage you to allow individuals to “ exercise personal responsibility”, as the Alabama governor advised (here ) on May 3. I’ll reference Page 3, where the governor only asks that post-secondary institutions “ encourage” facial coverings; not mandate. Will the university allow personal responsibility?
I look forward to an unmasked future full of smiling faces!
Respectfully,
Kimberly Ellis (77ellisk77@gmail.com)
