NO Mandates - My Body, MY CHOICE
 

Mandating ANY medical treatment, medication, device, therapy, etc. is illogical and irresponsible. Mandates do not take into consideration an individual’s own health and medical history, whether the vaccine is indicated or contraindicated, or strongly-held personal beliefs. Furthermore, eliminating exemptions for those individuals who have medical or religious reasons for not getting the COVID-19 vaccinations currently available or those coming available in the future could cause personal injury, mental and emotional conditions, and death. Who would be liable for these outcomes? Who would care for dependents left behind? 
These actual and proposed mandates are and will do more harm than good, and eliminating exemptions will only serve to compound the detrimental consequences. It’s that simple.
