It is my job as a parent and not the state to make medical decisions for my child. And for myself, yes. But the government cannot overreach into the family and force a vaccine on someone. And children? Just no. That is not how our country works. That sounds like communism to me, and it’s scary that this is the land we now live in. The State of Virginia will have a major problem on its hands if it decides to go this route. There may be a small sector in the northern areas that will willingly go along with this, but I assure you there are thousands upon thousands elsewhere who will not. People have died from the vaccine. People have been permanently disabled. People have been deathly ill. This is recorded from the CDC itself. Who takes responsibility for this? Vaccine manufacturers hold no liability. Will the state be liable for someone’s death due to vaccine?? Are they willing to pay medical bills for the permanently disabled and death benefits? I doubt it. Many have natural immunity.  Science is being disregarded for the sake of profit and control over people. This vaccine is like Russian roulette on whether it will help you or not. I urge the state to stand up for MEDICAL FREEDOM and say no to mandates. To do otherwise would go against everything this nation stands for, everything thousands of military personnel have fought and died for. I’m ashamed this is even being considered.
