No to the Mandate
 

Be leaders not followers say no to the vaccine Mandate.  Covid targeted the majority of elderly and those that are immunocompromised.   I personally had family members with Covid two with underlining  conditions one healthy.  One died two lived and of the two that lived one was hospitalized and came home after hospitalization, the other recovered at home.  The vaccine was not available at the time.  I am immunocomorised I sat next to someone not knowing that they had Covid for four hours.  We wore masks and washed hands. I didn’t get Covid. 

The vaccine came with side effects.  I and a friend had side effects.  My friend had blisters inside her mouth.  I had pain in my joints for months.  Another person I know had a migraine for six months.  It was too difficult to find a location to give this information, the paper work for doctors takes a great deal of time to complete. So I don’t think you enough information on side effects to mandate the vaccination.  I will not be getting the booster.

The choice should be left to individuals.  Individuals have rights to their health to include completing a power of attorney designating their person to carry out there wishes should they not be capable.  I am capable and I am not giving the state my power of Attorney to decide my choice to vaccinate or not.

This will come at a cost to those individuals, their families and the community as a whole.  People will lose jobs, businesses will continue to close, goods and services will be limited, it is happening now.  I imagine law suits will someday occur. Out of 8.5 Million 903k have contracted Covid that is about 11%.  What percentage of this 11% been vaccinated? Why are we mandating?

Why is the US Congress our “leaders” exempt from the mandate.  They are not willing to even mandate the vaccine for themselves.

If there is a mandate, when is that mandate lifted or will it ever lift? 

If you are forced by political pressure to mandate then mandate wearing a mask not  vaccinations.
