Some people want to get vaccinated and that’s totally fine, but there are others who are hesitant and with good reason and it should not be forced upon anyone. I realize some people die when they get COVID but the overwhelming majority are fine within days just like with the flu and other colds/viruses so I do not see a need for mandatory vaccinations. Also, so many people have already gotten Covid and have natural immunity which is better than a vaccine so I don’t understand why a vaccine is being forced unnecessarily. I see it as an overstepping of an individual freedom of choice. The long-term effects of the vaccine are unknown and our children and teachers (not anybody actually) should not be forced to inject something into their bodies against their will, especially when it is unknown how it might affect their bodies not only immediately but also years down the road. This country was founded on the principles of freedom but it’s very concerning when the government and school systems are trying overstepping their boundaries to override an individual’s decision for what is best for themselves and their families.
