Short and sweet... Don't do it. Do not mandate a vaccine for a population that has very minimal risks associated with the virus, but huge long-term unknowns with this new gene therapy technology that is wreaking havoc on so many people's lives. Take the more cautious approach to protect our children for their long term lives, not just for the now.

And don't ever force medications, treatments, vaccines, etc on such a vulnerable population "for the greater good" of those around them including adults. Children should not be protecting adults. Adults should be protecting the children.

As a mom of five who has had all of my kids go through the public school system in Virginia Beach, I highly urge you to think twice, and then think again and again before mandating this very risky gene therapy that does not have years of safety data behind it. Look at the history of vaccines, the pace at which they are studied, researched, evaluated, etc for safety and efficacy, and let's not rush the process for this disease that over 99% of the population will survive from.
