More vaccinated people are catching omicron but evidence shows they're not getting as sick and the overwhelming majority of deaths are in unvaccinated people.

Many people remain skeptical about vaccines -- only 55% of Missourians are vaccinated.

Wasn’t taking it before and definitely won’t now since we know it doesn’t work at all!

Adam Schrader

Doesn't work huh. I'd be DEAD without the vaccine. Was hospitalized for a long time last year. Several doctors said I'd be dead without it. Vaccines aren't a guarantee you won't get covid. But it will definitely reduce your symptoms and save your life

Jack L

My opinion hasn`t changed. I agree with Donald Trump, I am both vaccinated and boosted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSfeCqKty9o

That u-tube film makes Biden, his administration, and his followers, look like liars, and hypocrites. Thanks for posting.

Max

That is what I watched, he did support the vaccine. He fast tracked it's creation. If he had not done that, we would not have a vaccine.

Will Mason

Because the media keeps saying crap like this "Omicron has shown the power to evade vaccination, creating a higher number of breakthrough cases." While pretending that they are not trying to manipulate polls such as this one.

Lisa Gore

Because insurance co’s: increased 40% death rates aged 18-65 most not related to Covid, but “unknown” this is around the world, started this trend in 2021, think it’s very probable to say what part of the cause is, fentanyl overdoses& vax. Thx to open borders&Fauci suppression of Iver/hydr efficacy.

Max

Such an odd question. You can be against, or for the vaccine, and still answer the same way as someone else, who has a completely different opinion, than yours.

Jack L

You must be watching some other film clip. MY film clip is from FOX news and it shows Donald Trump supporting the vaccine

Jack L

LOL Make up your mind! First you say the vaccine is worthless, and then you praise Trump for helping to develop it.

Lisa Gore

Trump helped produce the initial vaccines. The formulas changed after he was cheated out of his office. They are all still experimental, never tested on humans before, I don’t care who makes it happen, it’s too soon to see what MRNA gene therapy does, it does cause spike protein prod. Which is toxic

Rise Barnes-Keyes

I'm ill with it currently. No I haven't been tested but I know that I'm positive. Two other women that I work with, both came down with the same illness at the same time as me with the same symptoms and severity (if not worse). They both tested and they are positive. Didn't help them. Common sense.

Letitia DenHartog

I was already vaccinated and boosted before Omicron

I’m starting to not like Columbia anymore.

Are you looking forward to roll carts in Columbia?

Yes I am so you guys will shut up about it

Steve Baumann

It is probably the most cost effective method of waste collection. And when it comes to spending taxpayer money, how can anyone argue with a proven system that costs significantly less in the long run. The only negatives to them are people who can't understand them.

Max DeYoung

Progressives prefer trash bags, litter, and drag shows.

Tim Van Huss

It'll be an awesome convenience!!

Clinton Prince

Yes, it just makes sense. It's 2023 and modern day trash collection techniques have changed. I hate self checkout, but that's the direction things are going nowadays. Get with the times or be lost in the past!!

NO UGLY ROLL CARTS!!! Let’s vote fairly!!!

Steve Baumann

I'm putting racing decals on mine.

City transferred extra cost to citizens. Instead of just dropping bags at the curb, now we all have double the work to bring roll cart back to our houses, open garage door, pull SUV out to get roll cart in, pull SUV back in, close garage. Huge environmental cost in electricity and gas - how sad.

Steve Baumann

Come on, it's a roll cart. The exercise will be good for you. It's arguably easier to roll a cart twice than to carry heavy bags once.

Mitchell Moore

Eyesores that will make our neighborhoods look trashy and cost jobs for minority men.

Steve Baumann

No one wants that gross and dangerous job, slinging bags. There is no need to make this a racist or social issue, it's picking up the trash. At taxpayer expense. Doing so in a cost effective manner. Doh!

Rick Neuner

The citizens of Columbia voted this down before. I would think that the city would put it to a vote of the people again instead of deciding for us.

Steve Baumann

That election was rigged with heavily biased wording. A mistake the voters should never allow to happen again. That bordered on election fraud in the eyes of some. An attempt at voter manipulation, for sure.

Scott Hentges

The citizens of Columbia voted against roll carts, yet the city manages to disregard them.

Steve Baumann

That was a very poorly worded election, seemingly purposely done. And now that people realize they were fooled, they will actually read the ballots closer.

Carol Williams

Space is limited and they will be seen all over Columbia in front yards. Ugly, and hard to roll.

Steve Baumann

The majority of homeowners will bring them in. Deal with exceptions when they come up IMO.

It will be hard to roll if there is a lot of snow on the ground...

Steve Baumann

We had them while living in Flagstaff, Arizona. More snow there than here, and it was no big deal, you adapt.
