Perhaps we should look at the reason Missouri residents are behind in vaccines? Education is the number one thing we can do to encourage people to get them. And continue to wear the mask if you haven't been vaccinated.

Tom

Debbie you have it correct. “Education!” Smart to take the vaccine. Others will not take the vaccine and not wear a mask. Missouri has a long ways to go with “education.” I’m from Missouri. But at the same time very disappointed in my brothers and sisters.

Mark Thrasher

I am concerned, still trying to get family members to take it seriously and get vaccinated. it feels like pushing a boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down.

Adam Schrader

If these idiots would just wise up and get the damn vaccine, then these numbers would drop.

Kehynan Brown

And take away our rights as Americans forcing us to do something we don't want to? Everyone who wanted a vaccine got one, now it's just the rest of us who don't care. Let natural selection do its thing.

Max DeYoung

Yahoo News: Nearly 4,000 fully vaccinated people in Massachusetts have tested positive for COVID-19, according to recent data from the state Department of Public Health.

Harold Kerr II

I say let those who do not get the vaccines drop dead.

Tom

Kehynan, so I suppose you want to be part of society at the same time. Come and go as you wish, right? You don’t want to change. Meanwhile the rest of society is caring for the Covid-19 sick, business and their workforce have already suffered enough. What is your part in this?

Joana Pentlin

It seems to be spreading very fast.School will be starting soon and it will get even worse.

Daniel M. J.

MO GOP politicians should be ashamed of themselves for politicizing science and going out of their way to do the wrong thing over and over again with coronavirus. The fact that MO is leading the nation in new coronavirus cases is a direct result of their irresponsible actions & dereliction of duty.

Harold Kerr II

Missourians are not getting the vaccine. A typically STUPID move by a bunch of rednecks,

Tom

Hey Harold, Rednecks are one thing. But people who want not to vaccinate are another - stupid. Just don’t include the two together.

Tom

Covid-19 patients have one thing in common. They have not been vaccinated. So very disappointed in Missouri.

Max DeYoung

Harold Kerr II

Typical for the mentality of Missourians--no need to get shots.

Tom Sicignano

It took us 15 months to recover from the pandemic, and I’m in no mood for America to go through a rebound. And President Biden and Vice President Harris better get Missouri and Arkansas under control, because I don’t intend to go through that hell of last year again!

Max DeYoung

After ninety days Harris finally made it to the border, and Joe still gets his pudding every night. Don't expect any help from that administration.

Vaccination rates remain low in many of the state's rural counties, where cases are spiking. Yet case numbers remain well below their pandemic peaks.

ALL THIS IS GREAT COVER TO HAVE ANOTHER ROUND OF LUNACY WITH MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING AND THE LIKE TO KEEP EVERYONE FEARFUL. AND SO SURRENDER THEIR GOD-GIVEN FREEDOMS. I ALMOST DIED WITH BLOOD CLOTS 10 YEARS AGO AND SO WILL NOT BE GETTING ANY COVID VACCINE.

Harold Kerr II

What a typically DUMB response by the Loony Right

Debra Riffle

One death in Boone County in recent weeks is why I don't believe it's time to worry. I would be reconsidering vaccination, if I had not already done so.

Kehynan Brown

Everyone that wanted to get a vaccine got one, now it's just the rest of us that don't really care.

Fred Colbern

More people are killed on the highways than by this virus. Yet no one is doing anything about it.

The pandemic-fueled shortage has not affected all businesses evenly, with some seemingly not significantly affected.
