It's a shame shame medicine has become political. I would like to make a point, my daughter went to UC Boulder and took the religious exemption option. No one talks about the "option" and maybe every school didn't offer, but sometimes standing up for yourself takes a little courage too.

Yes. Good point. There are still people who don't know about those options. And I agree, we have to get more comfortable exercising rights that we want to hold onto.

Was it straightforward at UC Boulder? I know many people hired attorneys to help them secure religious exemptions because many were being denied.

This is it, she said it was a box to check and no one ever said a thing.

It shouldn't require a new law. They should already be liable. So should every company from the smallest mom & pop to the largest corporations. I'm no lawyer so maybe someone can explain to me why these organizations should have any immunity from their actions? And the liability should also include harm caused by masking which could even go into emotional harm outside of the negative health consequences of being forced to wear them.

Agree. Making these organizations liable would bring swift and dramatic change. This particular grift is a deadly one.
