    I am 62 years old and very healthy. I have been exposed 7 times to COVID 19 and never even had a symptom. Why would I put anything inside my body that is not fully tested or vetted? What happen to “my body my choice “? And it appears that getting the vaccine really doesn't I do 1/10 of what was thought ?! Please please vote NO •

    This is a choice, it should not be a mandate. It’s just wrong, and making people prove they have been vaccinated to eat inside a restaurant or go to a football game is anything but American , a true goodbye to freedom. Just wait for all the mental health issues to be on the rise. it’s not ok and I do not support it. My body my choice no matter what it concerns and my choice for my children. Scared for my children’s futures and mental health. This is not ok!!!!! If this happens, It won’t be good.

    A nightmare of discrimination! I myself have worked very hard to overcome immune obstacles and get my body healthy and free of chemicals that destroy immune systems. No one should be bullied and threatened to have rights taken away because we don't want these injections. The pledge of allegiance says "with LIBERTY and justice for all". I see your meeting agenda includes saying this pledge. How can you say it when you don't mean it? Please look up the meaning of liberty!! This goes against it.

    Dear Council Members,
    I oppose a vaccine passport. Both my husband & I contracted Covid in Jan 2021 and we now have the antibodies, which is far more superior than any vaccine. We have friends who have experienced adverse reactions to the vaccine such as loss of a baby at 8 months pregnant, high blood pressure, anxiety issues as well as blood clots. We do not want to take a vaccine in our bodies that can pose a risk. Check out VAERS on all that has happened.
    PLEASE, no vaccine passport.
    ~EH

    I am 82 and I am safe and healthy without Vax. One friend who is fully vaccinated had to do two heart bridges, 3 months after the vax. Another friend got lymphatic tumors in her neck, armpit, lung, 4 months after the vax. One of 5 tumors in her neck could be up to 15 mm. Stanford hospital had hundreds of such cases due to the COVID vax. CDC, fda, media are all lying. India is a good example. No media report how India COVID cases had a sharp drop by taking ivermectin due to conflict of interest!

    I strongly oppose this vax mandate. Why is this needed for a virus that has 99% survivability rate? The risk is only for elderly & "high risk" ppl.Trying to mandate a vax is medical tyranny&complete violation of our constitutional rights. Also, there are 2 known therapeutics that have bn ard for yrs &appear to be very effective as a trtmnt. Every day more ppl are waking up to Truth& r doing their own research as they can't trust the"flip flopping"data/info of scientific&political establishments.

    These new vaccines can cause heart damages, paralysis and blood clotting, just some of the many injuries the vaccines can cause in short term. Long term damages are not known yet. Haven't we found out years later some foods can cause cancer? What about the toxin spike proteins can cross the Blood-Brain Barrier which protect the brain, and can enter into the brains and cause brain injuries? Forcing healthy people to vaccine is serious crime! It was what the Nazi did! We will vote you ALL out!!!

    I won't be shopping or attending any events or spending any money in the City of San Jose. As if the past year and a half have not hit our small businesses hard enough, the adoption of "Your Papers Please" Nazi style requirements to attend events in San Jose will be economic suicide.

    Medical mandates are unethical. Period. My body, my choice. There should be no mandates or coercion. There is no liability for death or injury caused by any injection that is being proposed to be mandated and instead these vaccine companies will be profiting with no response in helping those who have died or been injured by their products. I hope you will not participate in this unlawful and unethical decision.“The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.” You know this.

    Vaccine mandate is a bad idea. In theory, it takes away the decisions from people and businesses about what level of risk they accept and which measures they prefer to take to stay safe, and deprives those citizens that are unable (e.g. for reasons of health issues) to vaccinate of their civil rights. In practice, I myself and many people I know would avoid places that require intrusive procedures to enter, and this will undoubtedly hurt those businesses. Please reconsider this bad idea.

    It’s simple. Fauci and our President say that data is constantly changing in what we know about the virus and how to treat it. How can u possibly mandate a vaccine where we do NOT know it’s long term effectiveness or inconsequential risks! Our county leads in vaccines compared to others in CA and you are going to still punish us from taking young members of our families to restaurants and other public venues? Ludicrous! Your constituents do not want this, please listen to us. Stop the mandates!!

    It’s a poison injection. Millions will be dead from it in 6 months.

    This pandemic is fake and the PCR test is faulty. Remove all mandates and let people get back to living. Full stop.

    I've engaged in business In San Jose for many years and support especially small business-the very ones that need support to provide jobs to workers. This also brings in tax revenue to the City.

    I also freely associate with friends and family at City owned or leased properties that also bring City revenue.

    If you make unco nstitutional restrictions on our rights of free speech, assembly..., you will be discriminating against citizenry already having limitations to persue happiness. Say no

    I strongly oppose a Vax mandate and any restrictions for those who may choose not to get vaccinated.  This virus is not deadly to 99.9% of those who are currently healthy, younger than the median life span age of 78, and without lifestyle created co-morbidities.  If you must insist on anything, insist on a debate discussing higher premiums for obese individuals...obesity is the major trait/demographic for the worst COVID complications.
