I have one of the doses and feel safer already. It's good to be part of the solution, not the problem.

Herd immunity= Normalcy. Economic stability. The vaccine actually only took a few weeks to create, as it was based primarily after SARS. The reason it took a year was for testing, which was for side effects but most importantly dosage, efficacy rate and immunity time, and scope (# of strains)

Rachel Clara Smith

I feel like a I have a new lease on life!

Not afraid of a COVID with a 99.7 survival rate in my age group 95.8 for 65 and olde. I would be more like to be hit by a car than die from COVID,. I would rather keep my immune system up naturally this is the real Science not the Hype you see on TV

Elizabeth Spalding

Vaccines EXTEND the immune system to include the disease the vaccine is for, it doesn't 'deplete' it. In fact, it avoids all other non lethal symptoms associated with natural immunity. https://www.chop.edu/centers-programs/vaccine-education-center/vaccine-safety/immune-system-and-health

We need taxes, especially in Columbia. Columbia needs even more taxes, than all other cities. We also need a tax on purple hair dye.

Would you support a new tax to build a jail in Boone County?

We should not rely on other jails to take care of our problems. We have a responsibility to provide the proper facilities to our superhero police force

Max

That will be an average cost, to every single person of Boone county, of $197 per year, for 20 years. $3920. What a deal.

This leadership needs to resign.

Max

You are using the word leadership carelessly.

I would support a 10-year tax for a bond issue to build the new jail, not a new forever sales tax.

Max

The comment that I made indicating a total average cost, does not account for inflationary changes, which will probably more than double my $3920 estimate.

Jessica Orsini

We've more than enough incarceration in this county, state, and nation, and it's frankly not helping.

Max

The high crime problem is because the courts fail to punish the offenders hard enough to deter crime.

Davon Argo

The need for a new jail isn’t new. County leaders have known for years it needed attention. Maybe the sheriff should’ve prioritized a jail before a multi-million dollar training facility. His budget priorities is his attempt at railroading the city’s public safety staffing and infrastructure needs.

Madison Haleigh

I'd rather we put more money to schools to prevent there from being so many people in jail in the first place. If we fund our schools and the education system, there would be less people in jail. If we funded mental health services- there would be less people committing crimes

Max

The crime problem is a result of the catch and release problem. Too, many people are not afraid to commit crimes.

Harry D

Thinking like this is why the city of Columbia is short 50 police officers.
