Absolutely Not.
 

I’m just following the logic of our President and scientists who have said: 

1) the shot is meant to reduce your symptoms and protect you

2) the shot does not prevent you from getting the virus 

3) the shot does not prevent you from spreading the virus 

4) the virus can survive in animals 

Based upon those 4 points, how does it make sense to force people, especially children, to get a shot on the grounds that it is meant to protect those around them, even though it will only potentially protect themselves? Our president told the unvaccinated, “don’t you want to protect those around you? Your family? Loved ones?” (in regards to getting the shot) and in the same speech spoke to the vaccinated saying, “I know you are frustrated, but you are protected.” So again, why are we pushing for everyone to get the shot, when it doesn’t have any impact on anyone other than the person receiving the shot? And because the virus can live in animals, then we cannot eradicate it with a vaccine. 

So standing behind the facts that we’ve been told by the scientists and elected officials, why do children, who are hardly even affected by the virus, need to get a shot that will only potentially protect them? 

Maybe spend more time and energy promoting good health and a healthy lifestyle for the people rather than forcing a concoction into their body that they don’t need. There is a solution, there is treatment, but it doesn’t haul in enough money, so it won’t be promoted. Cold hard truth. 

If you want to be vaccinated, that’s perfectly fine! But no one should be forced to put something in their body.
