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.

Do you agree with Missouri lawmakers repealing voter-approved paid sick leave?

Employers will just reduce other types of leave if additional sick leave is mandated. The Missouri Legislature is once again correcting a corrupt amendment that appealed to low-information voters.

Even when the already rigged elections don't go the way they want, they always have a back door to circumvent the will of the people.

I believe all bills should be single action bills, with no add on items to get them passed.

I’ll never forget when my newborn was in the ER for coughing up blood. I asked my manager for help and she said “Well, I guess your husband will have to take care of her.” But he had to work too, and had a competitive job where half positions got fired recently and feared not completing his project.

I would not show up to work. There is no chance I would leave the side of my wife or children for anything.

Good for state morale. Less good for state revenue. Less good for residents who wish to attend games as ticket prices soar. But it keeps MO in national eye which is good for state economy.

Subsidizing private multi-billion dollar sports teams is not in the scope of a state government. Or any government. If progressives want to make the claim of letting billionaires, like the Hunt family, "to pay their fair share" well here's the time to make that claim.
