I am writing in opposition to the proposed vaccine mandate for K-12 students.  This is an intrusion into the medical decisions of parents, students and their healthcare providers.  No student should be forced to undergo an experimental medical procedure to receive an education.  In addition to a usurpation of parental rights, it is also poor science.  K-12 students have an extremely low risk of a serious complications from covid.  Fewer children die from covid than from the flu, heart disease, drownings and auto accidents.  We also know that studies have shown that kids do not act as significant spreaders of covid to adults.  In addition, what are the long term implications of the covid vaccines?  The inventor of the mNRA vaccines says they are not appropriate for children. Sweden and Norway just recently stopped using mNRA vaccines for children and young adults due to myocarditis side effects in that group.  If a parent, along with their child's doctor, feels that their particular circumstances warrant the use of a covid vaccine, than that is fine, just give all parents the same opportunity to decide what is best for their child under THEIR circumstances.
