There is absolutely NO reason to mandate these vaccines for ANYONE. The importance of informed consent cannot be emphasized enough. Do not rob people of this basic human right, especially when there is nothing to indicate it will benefit anyone. In fact, mandates cause significant harm, psychologically, socially, and physically. We are all witnessing the heartbreaking divisiveness in our country, and many are fearful of where these mandates could lead us, what freedoms will be taken next. Then there is the concern about why these mandates are happening when there is no science to justify them. 
First of all, these shots do not prevent COVID-19. Those who are vaccinated still get and transmit COVID-19.
Second, VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System) demonstrates reasons why so many are hesitant, as the risks may far outweigh any benefits. Per VAERS there have been over 15,000 deaths and over 20,000 permanent disabilities, which is more than the combined numbers of all vaccines since VAERS started in 1990; and the CDC has acknowledged that events are likely vastly underreported. We each have to live with the consequences of our decisions, including the possibility of death and/or disability. Do not take that onto your conscience, too. Not to mention the possibility of legal consequences should someone’s child die or suffer significant harm from a mandated shot. Or an employee for that matter. 
And third, CDC numbers prove that children (0-19) are at exceptionally low risk (thankfully) as their survival rate with regard to COVID-19 is 99.997%. The survival rate for 20-49 year olds is 99.98% and for 50-69 year olds is 99.5%. Again, why mandate an experimental mRNA shot that may put our children, colleagues, neighbors, at greater risk than the illness itself. It doesn’t make sense.
Please say no to these mandates and protect our freedom to decide for ourselves and our children what medical treatments we feel comfortable participating in.
