Freedom to make OWN body choices
 

Somewhere along the lines we forgot that we are individuals - we all have our own opinions.  We all have different reactions to different substances.  Why should a government make a decision for an individual?   The flu vaccine is not mandated or forced - so why should this be?  Both only lower symptoms of virus for the ones selected to take vaccine - they can still spread it to others.  This has not cleared the clinical trials as all the other suggested vaccines for schools are [they are granted religious exemptions and medical exemptions]  so NO ONE can make informed consent to this experiment - no one is held liable for any adverse effects.  It is everyone's RIGHT to make the decision for themselves and their families.  This force of hand will only hinder education more as we are in a shortage of staff across all districts - many districts are hurting for substitutes, bus drivers, custodians, teachers, etc.  so why add more to the shortage by creating a different problem.  As a professional educator - I believe the staff and individuals have done their research and DO NOT feel comfortable with the vaccine, they want more data about long term effects, they want to know who is held liable, and more information to come out. 

People need to remember that NO ONE has the right to question a personal decision - MY BODY MY CHOICE.  If someone wants it then let them get it, if not - they don't have to.   Leave the future generations out of this - with a survival rate of 99%.  They are healthy - we need to remember we were designed with an IMMUNE SYSTEM and that is there to help protect us, we just need to take care of our OWN PERSONAL HEALTH FIRST.  Please make sure you realize we are free to make the choice for ourselves.  Health is not an injection but daily decisions that are taken daily to help strengthen the immune system, ourselves.  Instead of forcing a shot - how about we encourage daily movement, healthier eating, sunlight daily, vitamins and minerals.  

Please do not let FEAR dictate another person's decision - ask yourself this - if the social distancing worked, then why masks? If masks worked then why a shot?  Please make the lack of personal responsibility stop - this is a PERSONAL CHOICE - not a government choice - stay in your own lane.
