To even consider mandating a vaccine for students and teachers that disregards the right to religious exemption is unconstitutional and simply a form of tyranny in order to prop up big Pharma, who basically owns our politicians. Such a political move is cloaked under the guise of public health, but in actuality is simply about greed and power. If this passes, the backlash will be overwhelming. If you think there is a teacher shortage now, just wait. If public schools are losing students now, just wait. Also, as a lifelong democrat, I can tell you that this kind of authoritarianism from the left will simply lead to VA turning completely red in future elections, and I am one democrat who will help that happen, because stripping Virginians of medical freedom is unconscionable and the opposite of a liberal and progressive principle.
