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.

This is the actual correct answer.

Steve Baumann

I'd like to see how many of the democratic votes came from bots

Steve Baumann

Democrats are insisting on concessions related to health care policy (specifically extending Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies) to reopen the government. Republicans argue for a "clean" funding bill without these policy changes.

Toasty

Wish I could vote for both. This shutdown is a game both sides are playing. I want to roll up a newspaper and smack 'em both.

Max

It's beautiful. Trump is getting rid of the fake workers Biden hired, and AOC will Primary Schumer. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

Max

As every 8th grade Civics student knows, it takes 60 votes to end the Schumer Shutdown. Since we only have 53 Republicans, we must have a handful of Senate Democrats

Max

"No one is so blind as one who will not see" means that a person who is unwilling to accept the truth is more difficult to convince than someone who is physically blind.

Max

Trump is ending wars, getting hostages released, after nearly 2 years, while Schumer is holding the US taxpayers hostage, for free medical care for illegal aliens, while our own citizens have to pay for medical care.

Republicans could easily say yes to extending subsidies for Americans and no to the other provisions. If Dems say “no” then it’s on them. Not much compromising is going on.
