i am sorry - & i do understand. i have one kid - & would have had him vaccinated if he was younger. why? because if it mandated, then it's mandated, just like other vaccines are for school - the military - certain jobs.
there surely have been side effects or worse with the MMR, or whooping cough, or DPT. i never said there shouldn't be exemptions, did i? why wouldn't i? i would absolutely support that.
masking up is a differant matter.... it doesn't 'harm' kids emotionally - at least not like active shooter drills would.
