A vaccine mandate is unnecessary and irresponsible - data does not support such an invasive measure. The petitioner’s statement about schools being “safer” with more vaccinated is unfounded. Those vaccinated do not stop the spread, nor does the vaccine prevent illness, hospitalization or death. There is no substantive evidence that it even prevents “severe illness” - look to Israel for evidence of the vaccine’s in-efficacy and likely harm (Vaccine Enhanced Respiratory Illness). Moreover, masking, shut downs, and quarantining will also not end when vaccines are mandated. Currently, there is an exceptionally high number of vaccinated people when compared to other similar vaccines - yet, all these restrictive measures are in play. If the vaccine worked as it should, or if the pandemic was truly as severe as it’s being sold to the public and there was a true emergency - then mandates would be altogether unnecessary. However, neither of the aforementioned is the case; therefore, mandates are nothing more than government overreach based upon short-sighted and incoherent rationale.
