gary york for Myself hopkinton NO healthcare facility should be immune to the atrocities witnessed during the covid plandemic, especially under EUA umbrella. Please support this bill. | hopkinton | Support | 152 | Feb 24, 2026 | |
Darlene Cartier for Myself Derry I support this bill, and I ask that you do too! During the Covid era, a bill passed to give all healthcare facilities in New Hampshire a blanket immunity regarding Covid-19. This bill repeals this liability shield. As far as I'm concerned, this shield should have NEVER been granted to begin with! If they can't be held accountable, what's to stop them from doing this again! | Derry | Support | 375 | Feb 24, 2026 | |
Roger Sylvestre for Myself clarksville I support this bill. | clarksville | Support | 20 | Feb 24, 2026 | |
Selena Gallen for Myself Keene I personally knew 2 people who died within a short time after receiving the shot. The government has no place in deciding what people have to do medically. That is between my doctors and me. You have started something you no right to govern. Medical freedom is a basic human right!! | Keene | Support | 282 | Feb 24, 2026 | |
DEBRA BLAKE for Myself HOOKSETT Blanket immunity should not be given to healthcare facilities. If they are doing what is medically the best option, why do they want blanket immunity? | HOOKSETT | Support | 152 | Feb 24, 2026 | |
Laura Colquhoun for Myself Nashua I support HB1071 | Nashua | Support | 16 | Feb 24, 2026 | |
Susan LaPointe for Myself Epping NO healthcare facility in New Hampshire should have blanket immunity regarding COVID 19. Blanket immunity really? Who thought that one up. No one should have blanket immunity, ever. That's a slap in the face to best practice and do no harm. | Epping | Support | 243 | Feb 24, 2026 | |
Denise MacLeod for Myself Manchester Repeal the liability shield. | Manchester | Support | 28 | Feb 24, 2026 | |
Tom Allen for Myself Hollis Please repeal the blanket liability shield that was granted to New Hampshire healthcare facilities during the Covid 19 period. It is no longer logical to maintain it, and the lack of accountability it allows can only lead to a lowering of healthcare standards. Thank you. | Hollis | Support | 271 | Feb 24, 2026 | |
Russ Payne for Myself Merrimack Healthcare facilities , pharmaceuticals and DHS need to be held accountable. Free men take care of themselves better than collectivist dictators . I support bill 1071 to restore freedom in healtcare. | Merrimack | Support | 199 | Feb 24, 2026 | |
Cynthia Whitaker for Myself Weare Repealing liability protections for health care facilities that acted in good faith and in accordance with public health guidance during the COVID-19 pandemic would set a deeply troubling precedent for how we respond to future public health emergencies. During an unprecedented crisis characterized by rapidly evolving science, resource scarcity, and federal and state directives that changed week to week, health care administrators and clinical staff made decisions under conditions of extraordinary uncertainty — not out of negligence or indifference, but out of a genuine effort to follow the best available guidance from the CDC, CMS, and state health departments. Holding facilities legally liable for outcomes that resulted from compliance with those very directives would effectively punish institutions for doing what was asked of them by the public health system itself. This creates a chilling effect that would discourage future compliance with emergency guidance at precisely the moments when coordinated, system-wide adherence matters most. It would also divert critical institutional resources away from patient care and into prolonged litigation, disproportionately burdening safety-net hospitals and rural facilities that were already operating at or beyond capacity. Rather than undermining the public health infrastructure that communities depend on, lawmakers should pursue targeted accountability mechanisms that distinguish between good-faith compliance and genuine institutional negligence — a distinction this repeal fails entirely to make | Weare | Oppose | 1,563 | Feb 24, 2026 | |
Francis Hayes for Myself Canterbury The research by credible psychiatric scientists shows that such involuntary hospitalizations for people with substance abuse disorders do not help the patient or the public health needs of the community. Francis Hayes, MD ret. | Canterbury | Oppose | 226 | Feb 24, 2026 | |
William Olson for Myself Bristol Please support HB1071. There’s plenty of proof now that there should be no immunity from harm for pushing these unproven vaccines and drugs. | Bristol | Support | 141 | Feb 24, 2026 | |
George Hildreth for Myself Derry I support this bill to remove liability from NH Healtcare practioners and facilities | Derry | Support | 85 | Feb 23, 2026 | |
Kimberlee Braught for Myself Keene Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. I for o e would rather n ot live through another pandemic where we are guessing g and hoping for the best as far as how to engage Healthcare practices. Evidence based practices should always be the standard of care. | Keene | Oppose | 279 | Feb 23, 2026 | |

LAWRENCE HURD for Myself Plaistow You all may not like what I am going to say but this the facts. We as citizen of the great country are the sovereign, we elect you to follow the rules of the road that is our state Constitution and or Federal Constitution. You do not have the right to mandate to us nor stand in the way of justice, That is what you are doing I think the state is responsible as well with all the panic and volition of our constitutional rights. i think it is high time you read these documents and act accordingly. We will not stop we are waking up and this is going to bite you all in the butt I personally am tired of the volition's of our rights that come from God not you or any body convened or elected | Plaistow | Support | 695 | Feb 23, 2026 | |
Georgia Loney for Myself Portsmouth I can’t see any justification for the immunity. | Portsmouth | Support | 47 | Feb 23, 2026 | |
Luisa Matta for Myself Bedford Strongly in support of this bill | Bedford | Support | 32 | Feb 23, 2026 | |
Michelle Slack for Myself Hudson I believe I should have the right to make my own decisions . | Hudson | Support | 65 | Feb 23, 2026 | |
tom luther for Myself claremont Greetings from Sullivan County I support this bill to end immunity from prosecution for the medical industrial complex. This is the only way to preserve our rights, Sue those who violate them. It will likely make healthcare more expensive, but I know of no other means to prevent shoddy care, since competition is illegal in government healthcare. | claremont | Support | 356 | Feb 23, 2026 | |
