We still live in a free country. Because even the vaccinated are still getting and spreading the newest Covid virus.

It is a fact that vaccines are not 100% effective, they only lessen the symptoms in some. It is one thing to require a vaccine that is 100% effective, but requiring a vaccine that is not close to that AND given the fact they may find another for the recent virus, it does not warrant a mandate.

Private businesses are not allowed to practice medicine, with or without a License.

what other medical procedure are mandate supporters think employers should be allowed to mandate? How about employer mandated exercise? Would that be ok too?

No job owner or business has a conservatorship over me choosing what medical therapy or gene therapy that would force me to do what they say, no right to my private health info, nor my health history. That is unconstitutional. My proof: The US Constitution.

Hey Justin, my rights are not privileges guaranteed under the constitution...perhaps you should read it. My “privileges” are your rights too! We need to all stand together against tyranny!

Mandates are bad for missourians. And vaccines don't work anyway. I am a second class citizen if businesses allowed to discriminates against me

workplaces are short-staffed enough. why give them an ultimatum to have to fire someone, reduce their workforce more and possibly have to pay unemployment benefits?

No, a private business has the right to run their business how they see fit. If a employee has a problem with it, they can go find another job. If the business suffers for it, that is the cost they have to pay.

You can not violate, other people's Constitutional rights, because you don't agree with them. Any American would know this.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
