I dont think children orbyoung adults should be vaccinated or boosted.Ruth Jordan (Peconic, 2022-01-15)

My son did not want to, but got vaccinated. He is now being forced yet again to choose between his education and his health. His doctor does NOT recommend the booster, especially for young men in the college age range. Let people make their own health decisions on this!!!Justine Smith (Chesterfield, 2022-01-16)

This shot is experimental! There is no reason to be mandating anyone to take it! It is a persons choice!!! It is an American right to choose if it is right for my child or any other American!Teresa Vick (Williamsburg, 2022-01-16)

Allow individuals to determine which medical interventions are in their best interest. These shots don’t stop transmission so there’s no greater good.Susan Schools (Glen Allen, 2022-01-16)

Universities should not be mandating that a low-risk group like college students inject themselves with a substance that has no long term safety or effectiveness data, and that has been proven to NOT prevent infection and subsequent transmission. All Americans should have the right to make their own health decisions.G Chapman (Glen Allen, 2022-01-16)

I don’t believe anyone should be forever to put anything in their body. It’s unconstitutional and completely violates the Nuremberg code. The vaccine is still in clinical trial. Should not be mandated. This is America. We are not in a communist country. This is our fundamental rightJeanne Shawahin (Damascus, 2022-01-16)

My students at UVA and VT have both had the Delta and Omicron variants and have no need for a risky, untested, unproven booster. This needs to stop.Leigh Banducci (Vienna, 2022-01-16)

Because I care about my daughter and the harms all gastroenteritis are potentially facing with comprising their immune system even more with this unnecessary mandateGail dillon (Ruther glen, 2022-01-16)

I’m signing because my child had Covid over the holidays and has been vaccinated. I want to see real data on antibodies and myocarditis for this age group before she should blindly be required to get a booster.Anne Firth (Stafford, 2022-01-16)

I have conducted approximately 300 hours of Covid infection and vaccine/booster research, have nearly 20 years product liability law experience including pharma case work, am a Washington and Lee grad '74 Econ, U/Richmond Law '76, have been working closely with E&L students since 2016 on student's rights issues, and recently have been monitoring vaccine mandates versus strong well vetted research demonstrating extraordinary risks in many individual cases, far beyond normal FDA approval levels. I have had Covid twice, am not vaccinated due to natural immunity and prior immune history risking me for cytokine storm risks for vaccine use.IMHO, Covid vax use should be an individual decision. One size fits all Biden/Fauci guidance is classic medical malpractice writ large on the face of history, with complicity of pharma companies doing the writing. Universities opting for vax mandates vie to be wrong conventionally rather than follow overwhelming medical research indicating college age students are at far less risk from Covid than riding in a car and multiple shots raise their serious side effect risks significantly. Seneff and Nigh defined what later has shown to be true. www.COVID/SENEFF%20AND%20NIGH%20May%202021%20Hazards%20of%20mRNA%20vax.PDF Fauci is compromised, conflicted by his NIH contractor connections to Wuhan labs. He is not credible.

The booster does nothing to protect our kids from getting covid and may cause more harm than good. There is no reason healthy college students should be forced to take a shot that does not protect them and may harm them. Each individual should be able to make their own decision by looking at the risks vs. rewards to their personal health.LeAnne Daniels (PAWLEYS ISLAND, 2022-01-17)

These shots are more dangerous than the illness they are purported to protect against. The mandates for them are anti-American and are not supported by the U.S. Constitution. We live in a country that was founded on freedoms to make our own decisions about our bodies and our health. No student should be given an ultimatum to get an injection or get an education. It is so wrong and so backward.Kerrin Martin (Chantilly, 2022-01-18)

While the vaccines have helped numerous people, it is clear after a year that 18 yo college students do not need add'l treatment for protection.The risk of additional experimental shots is unwise and unneeded.

My family and I live in Virginia. I have two high school aged kids. My kids will not be applying to any Virginia college/university that requires the COVID vaccine or booster. These are experimental shots! There is no long term data, not to mention the shots are proving to have dangerous, adverse side effects. COVID can still spread regardless of getting the COVID vaccine or booster. Getting the COVID vaccine or booster does not make the community safer. I am writing to say NO to vaccine mandates! There should be medical freedom for college/university students!Kelly Adams (Spotsylvania, 2022-01-18)

My daughter, Kendall Cox, suffered a vaccine injury. UVA mandated that she had to get the vaccine in the fall. She was hospitalized with tachycardia and extreme nerve pain within hours of receiving her second vax. Her symptoms have not lessened one bit despite countless visits to Mayo, UVA, Advent Health and Orlando Health. UVA robbed her of her health.Kara Cox (Winter Park, 2022-01-18)

When there is a risk, there should always be a choice. No vaccine mandates.Lucia Sinatra (Kentfield, 2022-01-19)

College kids should not be forced to vaccinate and boost age stratified lowest risk, does not stop transmission or contraction of disease- ridiculous policy that helps no one and could cause serious damage to young menHeather Michelson (Marlboro, 2022-01-19)

Enough is enough. My daughter received 2 shots and has had a very recent asymptomatic Covid infection. The booster is untested, unnecessary and in my opinion causes her bodily harm and endangerment.Joseph McIntyre (Darnestown, 2022-01-20)

I am signing this petetion because I do not believe students should be forced to be injected with an experimental vaccine when the mandate is lifted for the teachers and staff. When this is in the history books I believe we will be forced to answer why did adults believe their life was so much more valuable than our childrens? We are forcing children to get a vaccine that we do not know long term effects of to save the elderly. When did we become a society that let our kids take the bullet in order to save ourselves? This is total insanity. If you are elderly, high risk, or just scared, stay home. Your life is not more valuable than any of our children. It's their turn to know what freedom is. My son had a hard time breathing after 2nd shot. I am terrified for him if he takes the booster. Why do the "adults" in charge believe they have a right to live but my son should suffer life long consequences for you? Please stop this maddness. At the very least have the same policy you have for your staff. They are encouraged but not mandated to get the booster, allow your students that same freedom. If you believe that you are teaching the next generation of leaders than show them what leadership looks like. Stop the booster mandate today.Debbie Zook (Midlothian, 2022-01-21)

My young adult currently attends VCU, they have an exemption in place, but still feel bullied into getting this vaccine and booster based on the privileges and restrictions that separate the vaccinated from unvaccinated. They had a previous vaccine injury as a child, and I’m so afraid that this will happen to them again or even take their life this time, as the injury rates from the Covid vaccines are high. This age group is not at serious risk of Covid, even if they are vaccinated they can still get it and still spread it, so why are we still mandating this vaccine? It certainly is not to protect others. It is time to allow the students to make their own decisions on this vaccine, STOP THE MANDATES!Lesa Craig (Lanexa, 2022-01-21)

I’m signing because these mandates are unconstitutional and wrong. If we are okay with foregoing the mandates for professors, this should also be for students. It reflects poorly on the government of this great Commonwealth that its schools are following ignorant and oppressive policies that are harming the students in their charge. We have no choice but to make that public accusation, however, as all our efforts at reasoning with the colleges have utterly failed to change their oppressive behavior.Mike Craig (Lanexa, 2022-01-21)

As a graduate of Virginia Tech, I am disgusted that my Alma mater would allow their student’s rights to be trampled upon and be complicit in the tyranny that these mandates so blatantly represent. This isn’t about health.Casey Hutcherson (Ashland, 2022-01-21)

Stop ALL Mandates. FDA REC’d compromised data on the vaccine studies. The PCR tests numbers were incorrect from Day 1. . The EAUs’ should never have been authorized & all who pushed & mandated these vaccines & boosters will be prosecuted. The FDA was not given all the information and/or other incorrect information before determining authorization. The only authorized vaccine drug THE FDA approved (approved long before the first death from C19) is not & has never been available in the US. Cominarty was not the drug used in the studies and approving it for use on Covid 19 was illegal. All mandates must be dropped. Anyone requiring the unapproved boosters that have no efficacy on C19 or the variants will be held accountable. These boosters will only add billions more deadly spike proteins that cause clotting, myocarditis, Prion diseases such as Alzheimer’s and many more adverse reactions. Any persons pushing these mandates can no longer use ignorance as a defense. If you push the mandate you must know what it is your pushing, period. Which is possible death and severe life long injury.Jodi Basha (Ft. Lauderdale, 2022-01-21)

#378
I never thought that the right to bodily autonomy would have to be at the top of my daughter’s wish list for colleges, but I can promise that it is. Members of my own family have sustained heart damage secondary to this vaccine; I fail to understand why a cohort that's at an infinitesimally small risk with a high level of natural immunity is being targeted for forced boosters. As a RN, MSN with a background in research, the current data simply do not support your directives. Where there is risk, there must be choice.CHRISTY BLACK (APO AE, 2022-01-24)

I have not gotten the COVID booster and the university I am attending (George Mason University) is making it mandatory for us to do so. If I, the student, do not comply, the university is threatening to put a "hold" on my account that will "impact future registrations and any financial aid access" I may need for following semesters.I am feeling pressured to comply.
