Mandates and restrictions are not based on scientific evidence, it is complete government overreach and violation of constitutional rights.  It is appalling to force young children to wear masks and be vaccinated.  Those who are vaccinated are supposedly protected, as are those who have natural immunity.  The government continues to deprive us of our rights.  Of course we don't want anyone to fall ill and die, but Covid is not fatal for everyone.  Hospitals are not overrun, hospitalizations and death are at a lower level than last year.  It is impossible to eradicate a virus and the measures taken in 2020 caused major damage beyond this health crisis.  America is turning into a Communist country.
