Schools have always had mandatory vaccinations

k san

Unless they have a TRULY medical reason for not getting vaccinated, they should. More and more young people (teens) are being hospitalized with Covid, So yes they should be vaccinated. Other (early childhood) vaccines are required! Why not for another disease??

Tarasem

How many cases of polio do we hear about these days? Don't want your kids vaxxed? Home school.

C. Adrian Clark Jr.

Vaccinations use to readily accepted until social media disinformation turned some brains to mush. COVID will probably continue due to the utter ignorance of some people.

I think it's up to either the parent or the student to decide if they want to get vaccinated. No one should make them do something they don't want.

Not for such things. For things like MMR where there is a long history and proof of saving lives and reducing child mortality then yes.

Deb Hicks

Parents should b able to make the call on their kids health

Larry Ewart

I think parents should decide what is best for their child.

Tim Collins

Parents and students should decide. Do give away your rights!

Children have a 98 % chance of surviving covid so why would you give them a vaccine with potential side effects

Jessica Bodine

It should be up to each parent/student. Children are not at risk for Covid, so why inject them with a non FDA approved vaccine unnecessarily? That is not in THEIR best interest. This vaccine has not been out long enough to possibly know any long term effects.

Donna Wells

This is almost as bad as forced abortion. I chose to get vaccinated, but believe people should be able to make their own decision.

Mary M

ANYONE that require ANYONE to have vaccines need to be held responsible if something happens. There could be several law suits that come from it.

C. Adrian Clark Jr.

It's not about freedom of expression it's about societal responsibility, We would still have smallpox, typhoid fever, measles to mention with the attitudes some people have.

Robert Northrup

I am assuming Deschutes County has a population of a quarter million and only 74 people have died in over a year. Requiring vaccinations is putting millions into the pockets of millionaires. I am sure they are already working on the next virus.

Russell T Stanage

No, it's illegal to force an experimental drug on people for any reason... and the schools that require this are asking for some major lawsuits!!

Elizabeth Spalding

It's not experimental. The vaccine is a tweak in an already established SARS vaccine. It took weeks. The reason it took a year was for human testing for dosage, efficacy rate etc. It's not an experimental drug, it's a new one.

Universities are organizations that receive federal money and grants. Universities should be held to the same standard as other businesses that are under Executive Order 14042.

Eventually all the not vaccinated "believers" will get covid and only then will they beg for a vaccination before their loved ones watch them die

Jack L

Far too many people have died from this virus already. Universities should comply with the federal mandates. Only by being vaccinated can we slow down this pandemic

Rita Maloney

We cannot stop the spread of COVID-19 without being vaccinated. Vaccine mandates have been around in this country for many years, and as many deaths that have been caused by COVID-19 I don't understand why there's so much animosity towards getting the vaccine to stop these senseless deaths.

58%

No

While Universities receive grants and money from the federal government, work from professors and students should not be mandated as they are not federal employees.

750,000 covid deaths in the US, with population of 331,000,000 people. 5,000,000 covid deaths in the world, with population of 7,900,000,000 people. Why would we have four times the death rate in a modern nation with good medical care, than third world countries? Because it is a lie. That's why.

Max

Sensible people use the science and the real data. Liberals use the lie-ence and fake data. Real numbers don't lie.

Lisa Gore

Freedom of choice, also the vaccines are far less effective than previously thought, they mostly are experimental still and there are side effects. Why mandate free will for choices that can affect our personal bodily future health?

Adam Schrader

Vaccines save lives! Period!!! I'm vaccinated and yes, I got covid-19. I had a very bad case of it. Had I not git the vaccine, chances are I'd be DEAD! Vaccines don't guarantee you won't get covid. They sure can reduce the symptoms and save your life though.

Will Mason

Injecting a needle without permision is RAPE. Their bodies their choice.

I have never stopped wearing a mask in public buildings.

yvngfree

This is the way.

Foster Fell

Though I am fully vaccinated, I still need to protect against a breakthrough infection from the Delta variant. In which case, I would not be sick, but would still be infectious and capable of infecting someone who is immunocompromised,--or unvaccinated. Let's fight the virus, not each other.

Tarasem

I will do as business owners request. Their house, their rules.

Sheri Clarke

I've never stopped! There's too many not vaccinated!

Latterdaysaint

You can still get it if vaccinated, and the mask has been linked to pnomonia

Mary Dulin

I'm fully vaccinated with booster. BUT My immune system is compromised And I am over 63 yrs. Old. So a mask 😷🎭 is not a problem.

Mary Jacks

We need to take care of each other and what I do affects us all!

C. Adrian Clark Jr.

It's smart.

David Brown

Only when there are children present and cannot distance until the vaccines have been approved for children under 12. If parents do not wish to vaccinate their children I do hope they have taught them healthy habits and Universal precautions.

Mike Everstone

Because it's the right thing to do for me, my family and the people of Central Oregon.

Vernon Budd

It's a safety thing

Does this really even need explaining?

yvngfree

Try to stop the spread to others. It doesn't matter if you care or not.

Ric Pruitt

HELL NO !!!!!

Meloney Robles

Mask have not proven effective at stoping covid. They cause headaches, acne, breathing issues and other issues. I am tired of small businesses being shut down while places like Walmart and Amazon have profited from the pandemic. I am tired of being lied to. No more mandates or mask or closures!

MaryBeth Pearson

Masks are garbage against a virus. Cross contamination is not a conspiracy theory.

Latterdaysaint

Wearing Masks have been linked to pnomonia

Stephanie Davis

This is new. I'd love to follow up on it. Do u have a specific source I should start with?

Greg Moore

We have known since last year children are of effectively zero risk. They are also not effective at spreading the virus. Plenty of examples of schools without masks not increasing general rates of community spread. None are providing statistics/scientific studies supporting mask demands for kids.

Kenneth Emmrich

I am vaccinated and will not do it voluntary unless going into a medical facility.

💛🖤 RAG 💛🖤

Let's get EVERYBODY vaccinated is THE SOLUTION!!! I'm fine if you don't want to BUT stay home when you get Covid and don't take up space in the hospital.

Meagan Gordon

I’m not even going to explain my opinion to be bashed by the vaccinated! Totally against masks, that’s all!

Stephanie Davis

I did what I was supposed to do. Im fully vaccinated as is my immediate family.. I'm not going to try and protect other folks who refuse to have personal accountability. I am worried about the kids though. They have no alternative. They need to mask up for safety.

Justin Gottlieb

The real choice: Vaccinate or Die? If you are a Patriot/Revolutionary, you are vaccinated. If you're NOT, I believe that person's Health Insurance premiums should increase to $10,000 per month and disqualify the Individual from Subsidized Health Care. No more enabling "Stupid".

Cindy Warren-Sawyers

It is not necessary this is and should be for the unhealthy children have good immune systems and for the children that do not their parents know they will make their children mask.up
