I am not an anti vaxxer.  I do think there should be a longer research period for any vaccine or medication before mandating it.  Not to mentioned there are millions of people who have recovered from COVID, and have just as robust immunity than someone who has been vaccinated.  Flu shots are not mandated, this should be similar.  Flu shots are not 100% effective, but minimize the impact of the virus if you get it. The covid vaccine performs the same way. It does not prevent one person from getting or spreading the virus, therefore should not be mandated
