No Vaccine for students, teachers and employees
 

I respectfully understand a parent's concern for their children; and would expect those parents to take the precautions that they feel comfortable taking; however there should not be a mandate for the entire population of students, teachers and employees to be vaccinated.  There are legitimate reasons for some people not wanting to take the vaccine and those reasons are just as important to them and must be honored and respected.  The government should not violate a person's religious exemption to the vaccine.  The vaccine is being treated as a one size fit all - and that is a very dangerous approach because not everyone reacts to the vaccine in the same way - to some there is no reaction, but to others there are medical reactions that compromise their health.  Furthermore, those that have had COVID have natural immunity and should not be required to take the vaccine.  A one size fit all approach is never the right way to address any medical concern. 

This proposal to require 100% vaccination needs voted down.
