Yeah

Yeah. Letssgoooooooo!

John Whaley, Bridgeport

Enough

NO! Enough with the warrants. With the survival rate so high, there is no need for “passports” or more restrictions. Those who are immunocompromised or sick should simply stay home. The rest of us want to LIVE our lives and not be limited all the time.

Karen North, Meriden

It’s just a record

I would approve a vaccination passport. It is simply a record of your vaccination.

Charles M. Stankye, III

Not china

No, it’s the United States, not China.

Scott Harrison, Orange

be fed up

I want. Quite simply because I am fed up with those who are not vaccinated, except for strong medical reasons. We would have achieved collective immunity by the summer without the spread of false information from many sources, including the media and despicable politicians. It shouldn’t be a political issue, period. It is a health problem. And anti-vaxers and anti-maskers are responsible for the pandemic which still affects the general public.

Edward Walczykowski, Ridgefield

Tyranny

No! This is America! We are free here and do not want tyrannical oppression. If the masks and vaccines work, people who are afraid should choose to use them. I’ve been teaching for over four decades, and what we do to kids with all of this is horrible! We have always had illnesses, and there are many more risks in life. We cannot and must not regulate everything! Once again, let the freedom live!

Dace Ashcraft, Stamford

Give us tools

Yes Yes Yes. I’m in the retail business and I’m sick of people arguing over vaccines and masks. Please give us the tools to keep people safe.

Alice M. Hutchinson, Bethel

Husky collar

Yes! I’ve been saying for months that if New York has the Excelsior Pass, then Connecticut should have a Husky Pass! Why has it not already been done? I’m sick of having to carry around a flimsy, flimsy, easily tampered-with paper card that’s too big to fit in my wallet.

Michael J. Franco, Jr., Norwalk

‘Upside down’

I have signed HIPAA documents for years and years. You might as well throw them away. It goes directly against privacy. It’s just another way of discriminating against someone, which is not what we need in this upside down environment we live in now.

Duane Hein, Monroe

Concerned about recordings

Yes, in theory. I’m a little concerned about the state records because when I went to get my booster my second dose from six months ago had not been logged into the system.

Jennifer Forman, Stamford

Point?

No, Connecticut shouldn’t have a vaccination passport. What purpose? Do your homework. You can get COVID from both vaxed and unvaxed. Personally, I am vaccinated, but I find it appalling that the state can differentiate its residents based on vaccination status. I can’t wait to be in the Free State of Florida.

Ann Marie Willinger, Shelton

Too much government

I am absolutely not in favor of a Connecticut vaccine passport. Too much control of the government or our lives. Stop falling into bossy mode. The virus is here to stay, and the government cannot control it. It is foolish and arrogant to think such a thing.

Caroline B. Reid, Washington Depot

Some worries

I want. It would certainly make things easier for the venues and those attending the events. I’m concerned that this will be a hindrance for people vaccinated without access to a smartphone, and I’m concerned about tracking / data, and if there might still be a level of privacy.

Aimee Cotton Bogush, Bethany

Use the New York one

Absoutely. I’m using the NYC passport now because I don’t have an alternative, and that’s fine, but I would prefer something in the state.

Katherine Johnson, Stamford

Another burden

No, I see this as an additional burden on individuals and businesses. As we have seen from recent experience, both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals can still contract the virus. Having a passport doesn’t mean someone isn’t contagious, it just means that if they contract the virus, the effects will be lessened. A passport does not mean it is a virus-free place.

Vinny Falco, New Milford

Bigger problems

I am against vaccine passports because what are they really used for? I contracted COVID after the required vaccine. The government has much bigger problems to deal with. Stop bureaucratic control.

Nick Ecker, Shelton

i use one

Absoutely! It’s wonderful to go to New York and know that everyone around me is vaccinated. And the ease of a passport helps reduce resistance to finding a photo of your old card. I would like to see the same format used in neighboring states. COVID and other viruses don’t go away.

Maggie Dobbins, Fairfield

Free country

Absolutely not! We would like to keep America a free country.

Heather Smeriglio, Stamford

The only way

Yes. The only way for us to be able to resume life as usual is to know that those around us are vaccinated.

Martin E. Cobern, Cheshire

Stigma

A vaccination passport stigmatizes people who exercise their personal judgment. America doesn’t do that.

Bruce V. Miller, Westport

Too many breakthroughs

No vaccination passport because there are too many cases of rupture. These vaccines do not sufficiently stop the spread to others, which is the purpose of a passport.

Michelle Tubachit, New Milford

Work well in New York

Yes, we should definitely create a Connecticut passport. They work well in New York and will keep everyone safe.

Steven Baker, New Haven

Why necessary?

Absolutely not. People are told to take a booster because the effectiveness decreases over time. What will it mean to vaccinate if we continue the boosters? Additionally, the current strain is more contagious but less fatal. Why would a passport be needed for a virus that is losing its severity?

Sue Laydon, Branford

Don’t expose the rest of us

Absoutely. If you choose to be dumb and not get the shot, at least don’t expose the rest of us in public places.

Cathy Jackson, Monroe

My stuff

Surely not! My medical information is nobody’s business other than mine!

Michele Lyons, New Milford

The way out

Yes. Vaccines are our way out of this pandemic. The freedoms of those vaccinated should not be restricted because of those who refuse to be vaccinated.

Jody Dietch, orange

Company no

Not in a million years.

David Englert, Ridgefield

Safe travel

My brother and father live in Connecticut, so I frequently visit my home in Washington, DC. I am in favor of a vaccination passport.

Jen Lewis, Washington, DC

I am going to leave

Absolutely not! Is it Nazi Germany? We must stop ceding our rights to these power hungry monsters who think they should control our every move! I will leave Connecticut before I comply!

Liza Melendez, New Milford

So many people at risk

Yes! It is frustrating to know that many people who walk around without a mask indoors are not vaccinated. It puts so many people at risk and is preventable with vaccine passports, which companies can use to screen their customers. Maybe then we can start putting the pandemic behind us.

Vickie Mortimer, West Haven

Request proof

Yes. And I would also favor restaurants and any retail establishments that require proof of vacancy before allowing entry.

Alan Eisenberg, Stamford

No point

No! Our medical history is private. Also, whether or not we have agreed to receive the vaccine and the boosters, a person can still be a carrier and transmit the COVID-19 virus. There is therefore no point in setting up a vaccination passport.

John Romans, Southbury

Late

Yes. When you know the best outcome, you plan it, facilitate it, and configure it to run smoothly. Other states and countries are doing it. Do it ASAP.

Lorelei O’Hagan, Greenwich
