No to vaccine mandates - listen to the true science.
 

Each COVID-19 vaccine currently available does NOT prevent transmission. People have legitimate reasonings for questioning this and opting out. Maybe their child doesn’t respond well to vaccines. Maybe people are legitimately afraid of how their bodies will react. Maybe they see their loved ones responding negatively after their doses. These concerns should not be cast aside.There is not enough LONG-TERM data to truly understand the implications of what may happen. No one can give anyone that peace of mind. It’s not possible until more time has passed. There  is even less data on the impacts these vaccines may or may not have on children. I would never take this chance to subject my children to something that may hurt their heart (documented cases) or their future (again, no way to know). People who want to choose should have all the right to choose. But those who have hesitant reactions shouldn’t have to leave society because there’s a solution that’s being presented that doesn’t even keep you from getting or spreading the virus in the first place. Please follow the true science - let people make their own choices and look at the available data that’s telling us requiring this is not the answer.
