NO Vaccine Mandate
 

Absolutely do NOT mandate the Covid vaccine!!! Fundamentally I am against this action, for everyone. 

Even beyond every principled argument that I could make, for minors there is no practical reason for this vaccine, and every practical reason against taking this vaccine. The seriousness of this disease for children is miniscule - influenza is oftentimes more dangerous than CV19 - yet this cutting edge medical technology has unknown long term effects on children, and has sometimes had proven short term serious negative effects on children.  My children are not guinea pigs for pharmaceutical companies nor for the government.

The argument in the original petition is frankly irrational. If the petitioner believes the Covid vaccine works, then there is no issue for the health of her child, and there is no need due a Covid vaccine mandates. If the petitioner actually believes the vaccine will not properly protect her child from Covid, then there is no reason to mandate the vaccine. Schooling and education are only disrupted if the school system overreacts, not because of the medical necessity of the illness itself. 

No, absolutely no, to this vaccine mandate.
