There is plenty of scientific evidence that gives clear indication that the COVID-19 vaccine is unsafe. It has often made COVID more likely to be contracted and is responsible for many COVID deaths. In addition, the vaccine causes red blood cells to clump together, leading to dangerous blood clots. If people still choose to obtain the vaccine, that is their choice. But it is the greatest of tyrannies to mandate any drug as necessary for employment and socioeconomic freedom within the Commonwealth of Virginia, which affects more than 30% of the population. This mandate would tell a third of the population of the entire state that their freedom to work where they are is tied to getting a dangerous drug injected into their bodies. People should have the freedom to make these kinds of decisions on their own, without interference or mandate from local or state (or federal for that matter) governments.
