I am against a mandate for several reasons. First of all our constitution gives each individual the right to choose not be forced. The vaccines have only been in use less than 1 year that is not enough time to see long term affects on people especially children. I remember the thallidamide error when pregnant women were told this drug was safe and had children with birth defects. Please let’s wait till we have more years to see long term affects . Children have milder reactions from COVID-19.  If they get it they end up with T cell immunity which I understand from several physicians is a lifelong immunity.
