Two judges in Ohio made getting a vaccine a condition of probation. A federal judge said prisoners refusal to get a vaccine was “practically a disqualifier” in compassionate-release cases. Numerous lawyers who spend their lives reading the law have stated that local, state, and federal governments hold the right to fine and or jail people for refusing vaccine mandates. It’s an overreach of power to tell someone what to do with their bodies. If that forces you not to vote me, that is your right. Have a wonderful day.

I think not getting vaccinated is stupid, selfish, and extremely detrimental to public health, but agree with you in principle that vaccines shouldn’t be forced on anyone at gunpoint. However, probation aside, that isn’t happening anywhere, is it? Making vaccination a condition of employment is not the same as making it a condition of being free to go about one’s life unmolested. When you say you oppose vaccine mandates, are you saying that you oppose (say) hospitals requiring vaccinations for the protection of their staff and patients?

Don't let this thread get you down. Reddit users are notoriously FAR left/totalitarian and are in no way an actual representation of Springfield's demographic.

You're doing great 😅
