    There are many people who can't get the vaccine or choose not to because of their medical conditions. Also kids under the age of 12 are not approved yet for covid vaccines, so parents won't be able to bring their children to events. Those who are vaccinated don't need to worry if others are vaccinated or not, vaccinated people are already protected.

    We should have the right to choose what’s best for ourselves

    I strongly oppose vaccine mandates. We lost so many small businesses during this last year from loss of revenue and the inability to keep employees. The businesses that were able to barely make it through are just starting to make their way back. Mandating vaccines to enter these small businesses will only cause serious financial hardship and more businesses will be lost.

    I'm absolutely AGAINST this vaccine mandate! This is not proven to be safe nor effective. America 🇺🇸 means freedom...mandating a vaccine goes against our countries principles and our constitution.

    Vaccine mandates are systemically racist.

    Vaccinated people still catch the virus and spread it around - evident: Jesse Jackson and wife vaccinated, still caught covid-19 and in hospital. Vaccination is not a safe guarantee. Higher percent of minorities are not taking the vaccines. Asking people to show vaccine passports is discrimination. We will vote you ALL out if any of you vote for it!!!

    Requiring vaccination proof to enter businesses totally prohibits anyone who has natural immunity from having a normal life. ‘‘Tis is completely against our US Constitution. Forcing people to take a vaccine that has serious side effects and which does not protect you from getting infected and spreading the disease, for a disease that affects less than 1% of the population is against common sense and violates our civil rights.

    A vaccine mandate is nothing short of authoritarianism, and an action which I strongly condemn and oppose. It seems that some people in power are justifying this use of authoritarianism as a "health necessity", however it is nothing of the sort. Making these sort of actions is a very slippery slope. How many genocides throughout human history have been justified upon the ostensible platform of "health necessities"? Medical decisions should always be a personal choice free from coercion.

    I strongly oppose the vaccine mandate. This is a virus with a 99% survival rate. There are many successful treatments. This is the first mRNA vaccine tested on a large population with no long term studies. There have been many Covid-19 vaccine injuries and deaths, none of which are being talked about by politicians. This will cause division, and citizens and businesses will greatly suffer. This is medical segregation. Many citizens will move out of the city and state. Wrong move SJ government.

    Why doesn’t the media start sharing/reporting on treatments that actually work for this virus?! There have been plenty of research studies successfully carried out yet no one will report on these treatments. Stop pushing brand new vaccines and start reporting truth!

    I strongly disagree with this requirement. It is too broad in its implementation and will harm people who should not get the vaccine for health, religious or personal convictions.

    It’s ridiculous to have a Vaccine Mandate, when the vaccine doesn’t even stop transmission. What is the point? This is just the first step in taking away our God given rights and allowing more and more controls over our lives. Were will it stop? Do not pass this vaccine mandate.

    I strongly oppose this “Vaccine Mandate” as it is a form of segregation and direct violation of personal freedom. It is also morally wrong to force local owners to discriminate at their places of business, this also is a violation of their right as business owners.

    I strongly oppose this mandate. Vaccines should never be mandated by anyone especially the government - it is our right to choose. This is tyranny and goes against our constitutional rights and individual freedoms.

    Strong oppose. More science data from Israel and other countries who first had the experimental gene modification serum showed reinfection of covid.
    Mandate an experimental gene modification serum that is NOT the cure is AUTHORITARIANISM!!

    If injuries or death occurs SUE the institutions, private or public and drug company for the FDA APPROVED product!!

    Class action lawsuit

    The vaccine should be by informed consent only. Otherwise, it violates the Nuremberg Code. In understanding this pandemic & its cure, there exists a tremendous divide. Many scientists and medical authorities do not believe the scripted, main-stream media, and stand against medical tyranny. Please do your own research. This way you will watch over for your citizens w/ integrity. As our representatives, you decision-makers shoulder great weight. May San Jose remain a reasonable city. Thank you.

    This is a dangerous precedent to set when this shot has not gotten through all the proper clinical testing. It is also a fact that there are no robust long term studies on the side effects of this injection. There is already a huge shortage of first responders and putting this mandate in place is medical discrimination.
