Subject: Comm 360: Potential Changes to COVID 19 Policies & Programs RECEIVED

The state should not mandate vaccines for employees or citizens.This violates our personal right to choose what enters our body.I do not want to risk my
personal health by introducing an unproved foreign substance into my body. Direct quotes from the Moderna EUA Fact Sheet,this Fact Sheet is provided to
patients and caregivers so that they may make an informed decision on receiving the vaccine"The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine is an unapproved
vaccine that may prevent COVID-19.There is no FDA-approved vaccine to prevent COVID-19."; "The Moderna COVID-19
Vaccine is an unapproved vaccine.";
"Side effects that have been reported in a clinical trial with the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine include: • Injection site reactions:
pain,tenderness and swelling of the lymph nodes in the same arm of the injection, swelling(hardness), and redness • General
side effects:fatigue, headache, muscle pain,joint pain, chills, nausea and vomiting, and fever Side effects that have been
reported during post-authorization use of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine include: • Severe allergic reactions • Myocarditis
(inflammation of the heart muscle) • Pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart)"
"Serious and unexpected side effects may occur.The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine is still being studied in clinical trials."
Based on the information provided above by Moderna one of the vaccine manufactures as an example,I make an informed decision not to inject this
experimental drug in to my body or my child's body,based on the risk involved because there is a risk and we deserve a choice if there is a risk!
"WHO SHOULD NOT GET THE MODERNA COVID-19 VACCINE?You should not get the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine if you: • had
a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose of this vaccine • had a severe allergic reaction to any ingredient of this vaccine
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS IN THE MODERNA COVID-19 VACCINE?The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine contains the following
ingredients: messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), lipids(SM-102, polyethylene glycol [PEG] 2000 dimyristoyl glycerol [DMG],
cholesterol, and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine [DSPC]),tromethamine,"
I don't think it's right that I have to take a chance on having a severe reaction in the fust place,I would rather take my chance with a vires that has over 95'1%
survival rate,even higher if you're heaftliy and low risk.Based on the information provided above by Moderna one of the vaccine manufactures as an
example,I make an informed decision not to inject this experimental drug in to my body or my child's body,based on the risk involved because there is a
risk and we deserve a choice if there is a risk!
The Moderna EUA Fact Sheet also states:"Report vaccine side effects to FDA/CDC Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VA ERS).
The VAERS toll-free number is 1-800-822-7967 or report online to https://vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html. "
Upon visiting the site and reading testimonies of those who experience adverse effects,injuries or death from the vaccines.And based on this information I
make an informed decision not to inject this experimental drug in to my body or my child's body,based on the risk involved because there is a risk and we
deserve a choice if there is a risk!
The state should not institute vaccine passports as social incentive to enter any businesses,travel,attend work or school,etc;since when has it been
appropriate to incentivize personal health decisions. Our choice is influenced by free donuts,gift cards,cases of water,lottery/raffle tickets,alcohol,gifts
and prizes all to entice people to get the vaccine;we are witnessing vaccine clinics popping up at grocery stores,schools,public spaces and even at remote
gas stations;vaccinations are being promoted on social media,TV commercials,the radio,the newspaper,all media outlets,at most grocery stores,at
schools,at most corporate businesses;our daily lives have been engulfed by the propaganda and the pressure to get vaccinated. Those choosing to not be
vaccinated as their American right to do so,should not be subjected to social segregation or bullying due to personal medical decisions. Businesses should
not be mandated to enforce a vaccine passport;they do not have the resources to even enforce the mandate on top of all the other covid safety protocols
businesses have had to adopt already plus many are still not even operating at hull capacity yet. Business owners have the right to provide and refase service
to whom they choose;let people choose!
The state should not require for weekly covid tests for those employees who are exempt from vaccination;this is medical discrimination demanding separate
requirements based on personal medical preference.These tests cost over$100 and requires people to take the time to get tested.Testing sites have not been
set-up for quick and efficient testing.The state-imposed financial and mental trauma from weekly testing is much more harmful than the potential chance for
illness. Additionally,the vaccines do not prevent from contracting the virus only from recovering from it,so what good would it be to only test those who
are unvaccinated it would only make sense to test everyone if taking this approach. Comm. No. (no+ 2-

The state should not continue with travel restrictions and requirements.Residents who travel off island should not be prevented from returning home based
on a positive(or false-positive)test result. Someone who is ill has the right to recover in their home with the support of family and their personal physician.
The state should not prevent student athletes from participating in sports.Children and their parents have the right to choose what they allow into their body.
Children have suffered through isolation,inactivity,and mental trauma.through the pandemic.In addition,many families do not have the ability to pay for
twice weekly testing.This discriminates against those facing economic hardships. Parents only should be held responsible to making decisions about their
child's health and body. It's disturbing to think our children could be administered experimental drugs while at school without parental consent or
knowledge. Our children are taught to trust and love their teachers,as a parents I feel betrayed that such atrocities could even be proposed by our leaders
who serve us.
The state needs to make decisions based on the foundational understanding that people have the freedom to make their own personal choices about their body
and how they choose to live.The state should not create mandates that violate our personal freedom and rights.
In your role in state leadership,I encourage you to stand up for the rights of all people.Act with courage. Please take a stand with the people and no other-
interests. Let the people choose their risk virus or vaccine!
Thank you,
