"Fear is the chief activator of our faults." This vaxx-mandate mania reflects emotion and mob mentality, not knowledge or reason—and definitely not science. Why mandate an experimental therapeutic—one that doesn't prevent infection or transmission, and has a horrible safety profile (check out the latest VAERS numbers!)—to a cohort that has the highest probability of doing well with the virus, and ultimately gaining durable and robust immunity? See this article from Toxicology Reports, "Why are we vaccinating children against COVID-19?" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221475002100161X I completely agree that the last 1.5 years of lockdowns, masks and authoritarian rule/censorship have been detrimental to us all—most especially to our young people. But gambling with their health by injecting them with a leaky vaccine is not the answer. Let's keep America the "land of the free."
