The vaccine is new. There is not long term data on adverse effects. There is documented adverse affects short term harmful effects already, with heart issues and clotting, among many other things. There is significant data that natural immunity is more robust in protection from covid than from the vaccine. There is significant data that a vaccine is not best for every single person. A mandate is additionally a violation of our individual rights. We choose how to care for our bodies and what medical procedures to engage in. We are responsible for out children and caring for their well being. This is not the role of the government. Especially when a vaccine is not the absolute appropriate intervention for everyone. Religious practice/ freedom and exemption from unnecessary, potentially harmful medical intervention is a basic religious freedom protected under the constitution of America and must be preserved. No to vaccine mandates.
