CDC reports that 99.9876% of children who contract COVID-19 survive. That's far better than the survival rate for vaccinated adults. Long-term adverse affects of the vaccine have not been studied and there are notable serious side-effects in children. To move the success rate immaterially higher appears to subject children to unknown risks.   I am vehemently opposed to vaccine mandates for children because the risks outweigh the rewards.  Further, parents are in charge of their children's health and should be responsible for making healthcare decisions for them, thus I oppose vaccine mandates for children. 

I am also opposed to vaccine mandates for adults . Each adult should be provided with factual information on the risks and benefits of the vaccines and encouraged to consult their physician regarding their personal situations.  Each adult is responsible for making their own healthcare decisions and may choose to be vaccinated and to wear a mask and shield or to resign and seek other employment that is more consistent with their values.
