Haste leads to error. NO MANDATES
 

When the statistics are simply not in favor of this mandate (unless of course the majority of the staff and student body is 65+ years old) there is not a single good reason to force vaccination on employees and especially not the children.  

In fact, teenagers who receive this vaccine are more likely to require some sort of hospital care due to myocarditis than they are to receive hospital care for COVID-19. 
The mortality rate within the next 5 years  after a diagnosis of myocarditis is around 50%!!
The madness has to stop.  

As a doctor who takes care to critically review published research for AND against vaccines,  I cannot in good conscience favor a vaccine for my patients who have no significant past medical history.

Even if they do fall within the 65+ age group, Age is not a co-morbidity.  It is a variable.

The idea that this vaccine stops the spread of COVID-19 is not only misleading, it is downright deceitful.  The same holds true for the flu vaccine push.  Vaccines protect the ones who receive the vaccine; not those around you.  
After all, who are trying to protect here?  The vaccinated?  Or the ones who have willfully objected to a medical treatment that they do not want? 

So I ask again:

When the statistics are not in favor of this mandate, why the haste?  Haste leads to error.

I am reminded of Thalidomide Babies crisis  when we did not thoroughly vet a prescription medication prescribed to women with morning sickness.  We acted with haste and did not investigate long term effects such as the possibility of birth defects.  It was well tolerated by the mothers but had disastrous consequences for the babies in the womb. 
if you would like to see what haste leads to in the medical research field, Google “Thalidomide Babies.”

We have ZERO long term studies and will not know the effects of this vaccine for years to come since we have skipped long term clinical trials.  
As a result we ARE the long term study which should give everybody pause.
