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.

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?

Harold Kerr II

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

Max

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.

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.

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

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.

Fred Colbern

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

Cleaning up all the bloat, fraud and corruption in our federal government all while helping with the massive over spending causing inflation.

Tim Kennedy

People need to get back to acting on what’s good for The country and sop asking what the country can do for them. We are in a me society we need to get back to a we society.

Scott Keel

Long overdue!!!!

Eric Smith

Absolutely! Long overdue.

Maria Gose

Accountability is way past due. Keep forging forward .

Melissa Hill

I think government spending has gotten out of control and needs over site and their own audit.

James Lucas

The Democrats, since Clinton have talked about doing what DOGE is not doing. Yes, Clinton and Obama did some EO, but always gave more lip service than action. Now we have action from Republicans' and still Democrat lip service.

Max DeYoung

Best thing that's ever happened for our government.

Rodney Scott

Taxpayer dollars have been wasted for decades. Time to stop it! I am 73. This problem goes all the way to local politicians. Hundreds of thousands spent on ev busses and maintenence vehicles! WASTED MONEY!!!

Fat Guy Outdoors

Who is against fraud, waste and abuse unless you are benefitting from it.

I don't support. Things I'm against: 1)They feed women crumbs to nibble, as a tactic to keep us thinking we aren't losing rights.2)Racism & hate is worse &must go.3)Hacked in to sensitive info, causing safetyconcerns. 4)Defunded and fired many. No jobs+No $=economy toworsen. 5)They're clueless.

Max DeYoung

You just defined a democrat.

Ellen Jarvis

Think before you act!

Connie B.

Horrible what they are doing to people. I don't understand how firing people would take care of fraud and abuse. They are stripping people of their livelihoods and it will come back at us because the government will have to cover their unemployment stipends and we will have many more homeless ppl.

Max DeYoung

That's the problem. You don't understand.

Connie B.

Max DeYoung

About 14.5% of the US workforce, or 20.2 million people, work in the public sector. This includes state, local, and federal government employees. That's way to many people working at a job that produces nothing.

Fat Guy Outdoors

Maybe you should turn of the news and research. Why pay 5 people to do the job of 1. Why keep lazy employees who don't produce when you can keep highly productive workers and increase there pay. See its called rewarding hard work and punishing lazy people. Hard work does pay off.

Varyanna Ruthengael

Elon is not an elected official, not even a cleared contractor for what he is doing. This sabotages democracy.

Max DeYoung

Elon is only exposing criminals. He is doing nothing else. Become informed, instead of brainwashed.

Max DeYoung

While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic.

Fat Guy Outdoors

Just like Dr. Fauci right.

Ashley Edelen

Unilateral decisions from the Executive branch cannot go unchecked (on BOTH “sides”). Just like when Biden shouldn’t have bypassed the SC with student loan forgiveness. Democracy is fragile and we cannot lean towards dictatorship.

Fat Guy Outdoors

Please explain how exposing fraud, waste and abuse is harming democracy in a republic?
