People should be free to get what ever healthcare is right for them. No medical procedure should be mandatory.
The Vaccines have a greater risk to children than catching COVID-19. The virus is not a serious risk to children. We have lost exceptionally few children to COVID-19 and they are not a source of spread either. We have lost more children to suicide, pneumonia, and swimming pools, than we have from COVID-19. There is no reason to risk the side effects of the vaccines when the virus is so mild for children.
Many parents will not permit the vaccine to be given to their children. They will be forced to take their children out of school. This will create a medical apartheid that will disproportionately disenfranchise People of Color.
