People expect to receive treatment from their care provider. Not exposure to a novel coronavirus.

Max

People also expect honesty from their government but they are not receiving that either. Missouri does not require, nor allow a vaccine passport.

No American should be required to take any drug for employment. The FDC has only approved the Covid-19 vaccination for emergency use. Already the FDC has attached a warning label for a given age group to the vaccine. The vaccine is strictly experimental and there are many unknown elements about it

Gina Spriggs

The vaccines are experimental. Violates the Nuemberg code. This is still America where we have freedom from government intrusion.

I struggle with this one having been a RN for years, and never had the flu vaccine, but would mask up just for that patient contact. Each of owns their health, either be healthy in your lifestyle choices, vaccinate, or not and risk dying. Yes, I know you can pass it on without being ill yourself.

Tom

I’m sure companies will run into issues in trying to remove employees that do not vaccinate. However I see nothing wrong with companies requiring vaccination for all new hires based on their workplace policies.

Alexander

Presumably, healthcare workers are best qualified/educated to make their own informed decisions on whether to vaccinate.

Defund all welfare programs. Make people responsible for their own actions.

Max

SNAP is primarily funded by the U.S. federal government through congressional appropriations, with the USDA providing the funds, and states administering the program and covering their share of administrative costs.

Trump basically has no say in this, it's on the shoulders of Congress. Might want to study what all the 111th Congress did back in 2009-11... this is all about payback.

Zaos Gonzolez

Spend the money on something else. Send missiles to israel instead.

Toasty

Its all a game both sides are playing with real people in the middle. Trump should step aside and tell congress this mess is all theirs.

Max

Schumer knows this is all on the backs of the democrats.

There was a world series?

Fat Guy Outdoors

I haven't watched a baseball game since the late 80's. Just not my thing.
