But if you are a person with the resources and the money to get a vaccine, but you don't want to because you "don't feel like it" or because it'll "give your child autism", then...

Opinion: Club days are trivial and a waste of time

Once a month, Robinson High School decides that the first Monday does not matter, so we have a club day. I feel that club days are the biggest waste of time that the school partakes in.
