A mandate is based out of fear in the misconception that it will make everything go away and keep everyone safe.  Fully vaccinated people still get covid and spread covid.  If you are vaccinated then you should be safe from those unvaccinated, right?  Children are the group least impacted by covid.  Natural exposure and immunity are significantly stronger than any vaccine.  Cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are all dropping, without mandates, it's the course of nature.  There are still significant risks associated with the vaccine.  There is no long term data of the effects of this vaccine.  NO MANDATE.  If you are scared or sick and you feel you want it, you can go and get it.  Do not force the healthy to take something that could be harmful, so you can have the illusion of being safer.
