No vaccine mandate, plus sources
 
  • The first case of Covid in the US was January 20, 2020.  The Moderna trials in humans began March 16, 2020.
  • Now you are considering mandating a set of vaccines that in addition to short development times also had a short (although broad) testing time.  The vaccines are already proving to be less long-lasting than previously thought, requiring boosters. 
  • The most at-risk portions of the population are already largely vaccinated. 
  • If the fatality rate for children were around 2% or so a mandate might make sense, but with the current facts it simply doesn't.
