Educated Vaccinator not Anti- Vaccination
 

I do not support vaccine mandates of any kind regardless of virus in question. Nor is it appropriate to remove a mask mandate and or quarantine requirements  IF the real concern is virus containment and minimized infection rates. The vaccine DOES POTENTIALLY decrease the severity and longevity of symptoms should a vaccinated individual contract the virus. A vaccine DOES NOT stop the spread of the germs themselves nor does it stop those germs from infecting those it comes in contact with. That is the fundamental nature of all vaccinations for viruses period. Forcing me and/or my child to get vaccinated DOES NOT protect the child next to them from contracting the virus nor will it impact the child next to them from having severe symptoms. Vaccines protect the vaccinated individual (potentially). Vaccinated individuals are still contracting the virus and experiencing serious to fatal symptoms. That is the state we are in. There is no fix. Wash your hands, don’t send your kids to school sick, and respect the rights of others to wait for a vaccine to come out in which the manufacturers are not relieved from culpability and can have lawsuits filed against them for utilizing known harmful substances. If one is truly for public health, knowing people are dying being fully vaccinated you wouldn’t be on here advocating for forced vaccinations and quarantine and mask removal period.
