While I do not have a personal objection to vaccines, I object strongly to vaccine mandates. I think this will decrease the number of students in schools in fact. (Especially now that we have figured out how efficient home schooling can be!)
Mandating vaccines will not change the trajectory of this disease. There is no reason to vaccinate children when the risk of complications for this disease are so low for the under 20 crowd and natural immunity is far superior. Since apparently covid is with us for the foreseeable future I would rather have children get it and develop lifelong full and complete immunity (vaccines grant only one type of immune response) than partial immunity which needs boosters over and over. Mandates of anything are concerning. You do not know the personal medical history of each student and employee or other factors that go into a decision like this.
Furthermore, there is an experimental aspect to this vaccine, which under the circumstances Iis not objectionable, However, should be a choice made by individuals!!
