The vaccine works. It's a medical fix for a disease that can kill.

Because it's real problem. Anyone with the truth that God gives us is vaccinated.

I don't want to pay higher premiums for the hospitalization and care and treatment of people who choose not to protect themselves. They should take responsibility for their free decisions . I also think sick pts unvaccianted patients should pay a higher copay

It is their personal choice and choices have consequences (besides getting the vaccinated sick)

I voted yes because if a unvaccinated person gets Covid and is hospitalized it is costly and will increase insurance rates for all of us, the vaccine is free ,insurance premiums will rise for everyone. I do think the unvaccinated people should pay higher premiums and the vaccinated should not .

If you have had a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) or an immediate allergic reaction, even if it was not severe, to any ingredient in an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (such as polyethylene glycol), you should not get an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.

No

Why should the un-vaccinated be bullied to do something we have the right to refuse. Talk about discrimination!!!! That's un-American.

People with blue eyes should also get better Auto insurance premiums, however my wife has Brown eyes, she should be given a discount, because she was wise enough to marry me. After all everything should be treated fairly.

Completely illogical analogy . Take responsibility for your choice to not vaccinate - if you get sick - you're responsible for it . I don't want to pay for you , your family and all the people your are infecting because of your decision . TAKE Responsibility for your actions and be a man , right?

The person who made this and everyone who thinks this is a good idea should be drowned. Poor people have it hard enough without breathing the same air as this scum.

They don’t charge for those that choose to be unvaccinated for any other vaccine, so this is discriminatory

I believe with all my heart that Columbia residents should donate their entire paychecks to the City. If the City had ALL of the money, it would solve ALL of the problems.

They want to raise taxes because the “sales taxes are less than expected”. Could this be due to Columbia’s citizens not shopping downtown, etc. as they do not. Want to deal with addicts, vagrants and panhandlers. Lower revenues are due to administrators poor policies and other choices ie..plan fine

Get rid of the unnecessary positions created the past 3 years! The answer is to reduce the size of government, NOT raise taxes! Columbia's sales tax rate is already too high. Continue letting crime and homelessness flourish, raise taxes, and people will leave the city,

Why not cut the city official salaries by a few thousand dollars each to help make up some of the money that the city is looking for? But I doubt a single city official would be willing to do that even though most of them live better than the rest of the city.

The recorder of deeds salary alone is over $96,000!!!!!!!!!!!! TRULY INSANE. Most of us can never even imagine that amount of money.

If you are alive, there is no such thing as too many taxes. EVEN when you are unalive, you are taxed.
