It's semantics. They add the covid "vaccines" to the vaccine schedule and then government schools automatically require them. Yes, there are stronger mandates than that, but that is still a mandate.
Kids are required to go to school by the government and we are all required to fund them and they put these mandates in place for attendance.
Not to mention, parents were relentlessly propagandized to inject their kids with these products. Again, who was that done for?
This is such a bizarre hill to want to die on after the past four years.
