Children are at nearly zero risk of death or significant illness from Covid. More children have had negative reactions to the vaccine than have had serious illness from Covid. Too many children have had complications from the vaccine to justify a mandate. I will pull my kids out of school if vaccines are required and many others will as well. There will also be legal ramifications that go on for years.
Masks are making our kids sick all on their own. There is zero data showing they are needed to stop transmission. The psychological effects are worse than any benefit they may add.
