No to mandates yes to life and liberty!!!
 

Yes I agree people should get vaccinated if they want to and if it makes them more comfortable but what about those who have had the virus and have natural immunities and don't need the vaccination because of that.  It makes me very suspicious when government starts mandating something for everyone regardless of the situation they may be in.  So called experts are always haranguing about following the science.  So what is a vaccine for but to help your body build immunities to a virus just as actually getting the virus also builds immunities in our bodies.  Also some people have adverse reactions to vaccines and mandating vaccines for everyone with no allowance for exemptions religious or otherwise is foolish. This is a serious overreach and violates Virginia law and our Constitutional freedoms. 

Virginia Law 12VAC5-110-80 provides Religious & Medical Exemption rights. A. Religious and medical exemption. No certificate of immunization shall be required of any student for admission to school if:

  1. The student or his parent or guardian submits a notarized Certificate of Religious Exemption (Form CRE 1), to the admitting official of the school to which the student is seeking admission. Form CRE 1 is an affidavit stating that the administration of immunizing agents conflicts with the student's religious tenets or practices. The form is available on the Division of Immunization website at http://www.vdh.virginia.gov/immunization/requirements
