No vaccine mandates - violation of informed consent
 

Vaccine mandates are a violation of the principle of informed consent.  Informed consent requires an individual to be made fully aware of the risk/benefit of any medical intervention based on legitimate scientific study.  There is ample and ever increasing evidence revealing the Covid vaccines are not safe, especially when compared to all other vaccines currently required to attend school; nor has use of the vaccines(s) halted the infection and/or transmission of the virus by fully vaccinated individuals.  In addition, there is no evidence on the long term risks associated with these vaccines.  An individual may freely consent to accept the risks associated with a medical intervention, but they are in no way obligated to do so.  Any mandate that circumvents this right is a violation of medical ethics.
