We as American citizens and as the parents, should not be arm twisted into giving, or getting the vaccine. We can make our own informed decision on this personal matter.
The vaccine has not proven to be affective and covid is not going anywhere. It is likely that everyone will contract covid at some point in their lives, and we can not live in fear over it. Those whom have existing conditions may benefit from the shot and should do so at "their own" discretion.
But our students/our youth are the least susceptible group to develop severe illness and are more likely to be harmed by the vaccine! Moreover, for the rest of us, if contracted our natural immunity has the ability to fight off such infection and then protect us against future exposure. It is proven that our natural immunity is our best defense in fighting this.
We the people demand choice for our teachers, our students and our fellow Americans!!
