The anti-vaxxers have many reasons for not getting vaccinated. Simply put, anti-vaxxers may die from not getting vaccinated and I understand that they accept that. 

What I do not accept is that others will die, too, including children. Their many reasons pale in light of this tragedy. 

The time has come to make some hard decisions on what to do with these people. 

We have the right to keep our loved ones, our children, and ourselves safe. They ask for accommodation for their reasons for not getting vaccinated but I don’t care what their reasons are anymore. 

We need policies that protect us from those who have rejected God’s gift of a vaccine. I support enacting the following rules to keep our children safe:

1. All adults serving in schools and other facilities and who are in contact with children must be vaccinated against COVID.

2. Healthcare workers must be vaccinated so as to not put patients at risk.

3. Anti-vaxxers must have insurance policies specifically targeted to cover the extraordinary expense of prolonged stays in intensive care due to COVID.

4. All businesses have the right to refuse service to people who are not vaccinated against COVID.
