Vaccine Mandates Ask From All, But Give to None

Imagine getting fired from your job because you don’t want to get the Covid-19 vaccine. Across the United States, there have already been multiple people who have been fired or not granted access into a building because they haven’t taken the vaccine. What happened to our rights as citizens?

Some places have other options if you don’t want to take the vaccine, but they raise the requirements so high that it would be better to get the vaccine. Getting a COVID test every week is one of the requirements. Also, depending on who your employer is, you must pay for your COVID test. Confusing as that is, some companies requiring non-vaccinated employees’ testing won’t pay it for you even though they need their employees to do it.

While this is already a horrible situation for workers and businesses, the vaccine mandate trickles down to schools. But bringing this to school where most of the kids are under the age of 18 and cannot think for themselves is getting ridiculous. The people who support the vaccine mandates usually say “my body, my choice” during abortion protests, but now they’re forcing the vaccine on students. What happened to “my body, my choice” is an abuse of power where they’ll make your life a living hell unless you follow what they say. Will they kick students out for not getting vaccinated like they’re firing people from their jobs?
