Each person should be allowed to decide if the vaccine is right for them. A one-size-fits-all is not the American way and results in negative consequences for many. Religious exemptions should always be permitted. In addition, not everyone is medically able to get the vaccine, nor is the vaccine necessary for anyone who has already had the virus (multiple studies show natural immunity is longer lasting and more effective than the vaccine, and the vaccine given soon after recovery carries a higher risk of side effects), nor is everyone in the same risk category. Based on the lack of long-term studies, the public should not be forced to mandatorily participate. There are many who will volunteer and that is fine. Even by CDC admission, the vaccine does not prevent the spread, as it does not prevent the vaccinated from contracting the virus, or passing it along, but only potentially reduces symptoms, and that is best case, as the vaccine efficacy is shown to degrade over time much more quickly that natural immunity from contracting the virus. This should remain a personal choice. to force the vaccination of young children, who are at minimal risk from the actual virus to begin with, using a vaccine with no long-term effect data, is ludicrous.
