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.

The progressive socialist are treasonous. A threat to Americans and the United States. They bend rules, break rules and subvert law. They are racist, cult, extremists, and I am being kind at that. It's time for the insanity to end and for the adults to again take charge.

Why would the republicans vote against setting a law to prevent gerrymandering in 2021 HR1 ‘For the People Act’ in DC? If they wanted to prevent cheating, they would have voted yes. But here we are trying to change the maps when normally we do it every 10 years after census data.

The Republicans know they have gone too crazy and ruined their core values by not standing against trump for his craziness. The Republicans know they cannot win a fair fight anymore, so they have to result to un-American tactics. I gave myself whiplash shaking my head so hard. Hypercritics they are!

Keith Oser

Just another political ploy to divert and appease the convicted criminal in the White House……. Where are the Epstein files?

MAGA and Republicans are treasonous. A threat to Americans and the United States. They bend rules, break rules and subvert law. They are racist, cult, extremists.

Tom Maxwell

Republicans are doing their job very poorly. We need less not more

Eric Smith

America needs more stellar Democrats to serve 50 plus years in Congress. Without them, we wont get to see a House speaker rip up a presidential address in front of the nation, not to mention getting extremely wealthy with incredible investment skills.
