I strongly oppose vaccine mandates for all adults and children. The covid vaccines do not prevent individuals from contracting or spreading covid 19. Vaccine efficacy is also short-lived, and we have no data on the health effects of multiple (indefinite?) boosters. Neither do we have long-term (1+ years) safety data on any of these vaccines. Do they increase an individual’s risk of cancer? Auto-immune disease? Other illness? We have no answers to these questions.

What we do know is these shots are not without risk of serious side effects, including an increased risk of myocarditis in young men. We also know that children are not super spreaders of covid 19, and the vast majority who contract it have very mild disease. In fact, a vaccinated adult is at greater risk of death from covid than an unvaccinated child.

Finally, we know that all the available vaccines used fetal cell lines from an aborted child in some part of testing or development. For those who believe life begins at conception, trying to force them to violate their conscious by partaking in these shots is both wrong and unconstitutional.
