The very idea of mandating a vaccine for a virus that has a 0.6% death rate if you are under 70 years of age (as per the CDC), and a 0.01% death rate for children, is pure madness. Vaccines for flu are not mandated. The death rate is not dissimilar. If people are comfortable with the vaccine and should choose to take the vaccine, then there is that option. Some of us who like to look at studies can see the evidence that this is in fact, a leaky vaccine and in need of more work before it could be considered properly effective. We as Americans have our rights given to us by God and protected under the Constitution. There should be no mask mandates, particularly when it comes to OUR children. They do not belong as subjects to this government and each parent/individual should have the ability to make an informed choice as to what is put into their body. There is much to say on the matter and many studies to support not mandating this vaccine (let us not rule out or forget natural immunity either).
