Lack of long-term data; right to bodily autonomy is crucial
 

There are by definition no long-term studies on this vaccine and these are young people who are at little risk of the disease itself.  Perhaps the people instilling fear in their children are the irrational ones.   Yes, the children should respect the needs of those at high risk but they need not fear for themselves.  Good hygiene, quality masks, and environmental air quality controls will go a long way to keep schools safe.  Perhaps they should be promoted/funded rather than an injection into kids' bodies. 

In particular, we understand that males under age 30 (who should be given a medical exemption) risk potential adverse effects of the vaccine on the heart, a higher risk than the virus itself in this population.
