    I STRONGLY OPPOSE this mandate. It's our constitutional right to make our own healthcare decisions, not the City's/Government's decision. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) shows hundreds of thousands of adverse effects for people who have taken this vaccine, and also thousands of deaths. The City will lose many employees with great institutional knowledge if they implement the vaccine mandate. I trust that the City will make the best decision for its employees and residents.

    Based on the CDC's own data 95% of COVID deaths have a average of 4 co morbidity's most being lifestyle and nutrition related. 75% of hospitalizations were those who were over weight or obese. The top two risk factors for death are 1. obesity and 2. anxiety/fear disorders. If our gov officials truly cared and this was a time sensitive health emergency why isn't anyone talking about the two largest risk factors? STOP THE MANDATE, its not a solution.

    As a veteran and first responder I am asking to stop this mandate, keep america 'the land of the free' nobody should be able to mandate any health decision on anyone. There are alternate means of keeping eachother safe from this virus. This is ridiculous and don't want to think about what they would push on us next, scary

    Where there is risk, there must be choice! It sounds so simple. As a healthcare worker I have difficult conversations weekly about adverse reactions to vaccines. Almost all of these are exclusively for kids and the last thing I want is to have these talks with adults as well. I support personal medical freedoms.

    I strongly oppose. Every citizen should have the right to choose whether or not they would like to take this experimental mRNA gene therapy. This “vaccine” does not prevent contraction or transmission therefore it should not be mandated and kept optional

    I strongly oppose this mandate. To enforce this mandate would be unconstitutional and a gross abuse of power.

    All Americans should have a say in what goes into their body. Requiring vaccinations is unreasonable and it is not in the best interest of the individual. Making a blanket requirement removes any consideration a choice each American deserves. Requiring vaccinations across the board will ruin faithful careers, and the families these men and women support. Please consider another option for personal choice.

    Oppose. Let people make their own decisions for their health.
    I’ve been exposed to Covid over 50 times at least (confirmed positive) and my wife had Covid. I stayed with her the entire time, changed nothing and didn’t get the virus. I have a healthy immune system,
    Why do I need the shot? Don’t take our health decisions from us.

    Strongly oppose the vaccine mandate for city employees. The constitution dictates everyone has a right to make their own healthcare decisions. This issue should be no different.

    I oppose this mandate. My husband is a firefighter and has been working on the frontlines during this pandemic from the beginning. And now he is being forced to choose between getting a vaccine that has not been proven to stop the spread of Covid or a career he loves and one that his wife and 4 children depend on. This mandate makes no sense and will do nothing but hurt the city.

    Some of the best people I know work in public safety and to proceed with this is not only unwise and dangerous precedent, but it's also a slap in the face to the men and women who worked tirelessly through a pandemic to serve others day in and day out. There is no constitutional logic that makes this justifiable, and keep in mind this has far reaching impact to the families of these individuals as well. Let's do the right thing by letting COP employees make a well informed choice for themselves.

    The men and women that work as medical staff, firefighters and police officers in the City of Phoenix were hired not only for their expertise but also for their morals. By implementing an unconstitutional mandate, you are asking these people to go against their morals and convictions and it will cause a mass exodus of qualified first responders. Losing hundreds to thousands of our first responders will cripple this city. Do the right thing and vote against this mandate.

    I strongly oppose the vaccination mandate for City of Phoenix employees. It is everyone’s constitutional right as Americans to make their own healthcare decisions. I believe if the city enforces this federal vaccine mandate, they will be putting every citizen of phoenix’s life in danger due to critically low staffing of fire & police in specific.

    PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE and allow OUR public workers the basic right to choose. There is evidence and it has been reported by trusted sources like Reuters, that THE VACCINE DOES NOT PREVENT INFECTION OR SPREAD so why is it being forced? Most have had the virus or been exposed already. The vaccine has reported risks even if rare (read the insert). No one should lose their job because they don’t want to risk a possible adverse reaction from a medical treatment that doesn’t guarantee prevention!

    I strongly oppose the vaccine mandate. I've served the city of Phoenix and its community for over 19 years. Two weeks ago as we prepared for holiday gatherings, the city announced a vaccine mandate and now we the city employees are faced with the stress of being disciplined leading upto termination if we don't comply?? Please stop the mandate policy that threatens retention and recruitment in public safety in city of Phoenix!

    The vaccine is unproven. To be forced to put an experimental drug into one's body is not only unconstitutional but goes against our God given human rights. This mandate presents not only a threat to individual liberty but a threat to healthcare and emergency workers. We will lose skilled medical staff, firefighters & police officers. There is no justification to force the vaccine when there are alternative methods to combat this virus. Natural immunity must be recognized & considered.

    As a member of the Fire Dept., I believe it is my right to make my own decisions in regards to my PERSONAL health. My livelihood should not be dependent upon a vaccine mandate. A mandate that is being politically and financially driven. I’m not anti-vaccine, I’m anti-vaccine mandate. The Covid “vaccine” cannot be compared other vaccines that have years of medical research and data collection. I served my country and sacrificed my freedoms to protect the freedoms written in our constitution.

    I am part of the health care field and I am all for keeping people safe. But just as people have the right to refuse if we take them to the hospital or not when they call 911 and we explain to them reasons why. That is their God given right to do so. The same should be made for those not wanting to get this shot. If it is against what they stand for or want then “let their no be no”.
    Leaders making. The decisions please do the right thing for Everyone and shut this down.

    I oppose any Vaccine mandate or any mandate which is against the United States Constitution! I do not believe that any person should have to get vaccinated to be able to keep their job and/or provide for their family.
