Several thoughts from an Officer who fought in the Navy for over 20 years:
CV-19 related deaths and hospitalizations in kids under 18 are not even close to the top 10 related causes of deaths in their age group (car crashes, firearms, cancer suffocation, drowning, drug overdose, congenital anomalies, heart disease, fire/ burns, chronic lower respiratory disease and the list goes on from the CDC). In fact, less than 0.01% of those HOSPITALIZED actually have died from this disease in THEIR age group. With these facts, this age group isn’t the issue, it is better served for those over the age of 18! We should try to fix some of these top ten in the list above that are killing anywhere from tens to hundreds of times those in the under 18 age group before we mandate something that is NOT a problem for them! 2. Religious exemption allows families who do not believe in the proper production due to them utilizing data from or direct use of aborted fetuses, as the killing of unborn children is not the answer that our God allows us to chose. 3. Vaccinated and Unvaccinated transmit the disease at the exact rate. So even with the vaccine, this disease will remain. The vaccine will help reduce hospitalization rates for those over the age of 18 (ie school kids do NOT need the shot unless they’re Doctor says they do for underlying conditions). So vaccinating kids serves zero purpose AND may have adverse future outcomes (not enough time and studies to indicate otherwise). Let parents chose and allow us who are religious to chose based upon the development of the drug/vaccine from the moral aspect.
