I do not propose that the Board of Education and The Board of Health mandate vaccinations for staff and students for a few reasons. This proposal is over stepping personal boundaries and our freedoms. I have heard for years....."my body, my choice" made by women who wanted to get rid of their unborn children and they actually have the unbelievable right in America to do so. Why is this situation any different? Why as a woman and individual can I not have the choice/right to not put something I feel may be harmful in my body? There is just not enough evidence and research on this vaccine as of yet to be considered safe. There have been thousands of people have serious side effects from this vaccine including some we know. I just read in an article, Forty thousand people died last month nation wide within 14 days after receiving a dose of the vaccine. We do not hear about these numbers on the media.  It is not even been licensed by the FDA, just approved for emergency medical use only. As a mom, I am very cautious what I give my children including medications, vaccines, and food. My son had a very bad experience with a routine common vaccine as a toddler and I began to research ingredients in vaccines on the CDC website.  I couldn't believe some of the toxic chemicals found in some of our vaccines including Formalydehyde. Also some are made from aborted fetal material as well which goes against my religious beliefs and values. We have recently fallen under the religious/medical exemption for some vaccines, so as you can see this is very upsetting for me and my family that this vaccine may be mandated. Also, being a health care professional, this completely goes against patient rights! As a nurse that  had previously worked in the hospital, a patient had the right to reject treatment, decline medicine or care, and even check their own self out of the hospital without a doctor to discharge them. This still has not changed! We as Americans and Citizens of Virgina have to right to decline this vaccine. It is not your choice to make! It is ours! We do what we feel is best for ourselves and our children based off of morals, values, Christian beliefs, and ethics.
