From Law Prof David Clements
The following is the text of an email I sent to higher administration awnd my Dean:
"The purpose of this email is to notify you that I will not be appearing at the Fall Convocation next week to collect the prestigious “Patricia Christmore Teaching Excellence Award.” While it was an honor to be recognized by my colleagues as the award recipient for the College of Business, I cannot in good conscience participate in a ceremony that further cements or perpetuates false narratives.
As you are aware, NMSU has recently mandated that faculty and students must take an experimental drug vaccine or else be subjected to weekly invasive testing.
I was honored with the award, I think, because my students appreciate that I cultivate in them an ability to think critically.
The convocation ceremony, however, is bereft of critical thinking. We are told to “celebrate” our achievement by refraining from shaking hands, doing fist or elbow bumps, all while continuing to wear restrictive masks. Instead of my family enjoying the moment, they must be muzzled. The award winners receive 1 minute to breathe the fresh air and deliver remarks. This does not represent a “celebration,” but rather an event rooted in fear and arbitrary compliance.
Here are some facts to consider.
The former Pfizer chief recently stated: “Children are 50x more likely to die from the Covid Vaccine than the virus.” Yet, we are putting our student population at risk with the above mandate, and we aren’t taking responsibility for that decision.
The Moderna vaccine packaging has virtually no instructions concerning the safety of the vaccine, because the risks are largely unknown. This is a violation of the Hippocratic oath and the requirement to provide informed consent.
According to the VAERS website, over 11,940 deaths have been reported, 518,769 adverse events, 12,808 persons have been left permanently disabled, 22,286 have reported severe allergic reactions, 1,272 young women have suffered miscarriages, and 4,799 persons have suffered heart attacks. 62% of patients had elevated D-Dimer levels 4 to 7 days after the “vaccine.” Elevated D-dimer levels are usually found after a clot has been formed.
To put this into context, after there were only 32 deaths from the Swine Flu vaccine in 1976, the FDA halted the program. And yet we are mandating a non-approved FDA experimental drug?
All of this imposed risk is being passed off to faculty and students when Covid has a 99.8% survivability rate.
Is the university going to be held responsible for the students’ medical bills, life insurance, or other complications?
Finally, the mask mandate. The science is clear. States that have not locked down or imposed mask mandates, have fared better than those that have.
By “celebrating” at a convocation in a manner that defies the above “science” we are perpetuating a lie that is antithetical to individual liberty, free thought, and bodily automony.
I am a free thinker, not a slave. I will create an environment for free thinkers, not slaves.
I hope the university is ready for the storm it is creating.
History will not judge those who are simply going along with this madness kindly.
