Mandating the Covid vaccination for children is absolutely absurd! First of all, it is evident that the vaccine is not a true vaccine by the "old" definition of the word by the CDC. They had to create a new definition to fit this "vaccination". Secondly, the numbers of cases of children that are becoming severely ill from Covid is quite low. The "vaccine" is not without it's own problems with causing myocarditis, especially in younger kids. Covid is something that will continue to be around. We are just going to have to learn to live with it. The shot will not create herd immunity, as was falsely projected at the beginning. Covid is ever-changing and it will be in the environment for a long, long time to come. I do not want to risk having my child harmed by the shot. There is a reason that the mRNA vaccine was not approved with previous trials...it has the potential to cause more harm! I am not opposed to the vaccine being offered but feel that it should not be pushed on someone that does not want it. My son is in private school and feel that it is ridiculous that the state is considering mandating this for all schools, public and private, and for all faculty and students. Do NOT pass this mandate!!!
