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.

David Brown

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.

Nothing the Democrats have done of offered has ever helped the majority of the people. Obamacare caused my healthcare to skyrocket and quality to plummet. Democratic scandals, such as those seen in Minnesota with the Somalians, far too common. It's past time to support out President.

Your question is way too generic. To a degree that that renders it pointless.

Eric Smith

Kehoe is ok, and I mean just ok. Unfortunately, Missouri has now had two weak governors back-to-back.

Toasty

Is he Tim Waltz level incompetence? No, but with a republican majority, he could do better. Listen to The Eagle every morning and Randy will give you all the details.

He rammed through legislation reversing laws enacted via the ballot box. This LBJ wannabe needs impeached or voted out into obscurity

Lisa Harter Kerns

Public schools need funded

Ed Smith

Allowing gambling on sports, while ACL, relocation and retirement occur in that same instance sounds premeditated. Reversing voter decisions is communist! And, have car dealers started getting their commission on the property tax collections, yet?

Danny Bowling

No income tax doesnt work check all the states that tried it. RESCT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!

John Scherer

Killing the rural public schools. Promoting the St. Louis County private school agenda. Where is the accountability for private schools supported with public money?

Vancie Brown

Nothing is getting done

Bruce Russell

Governors tax policies are misguided. Capital Gains and income tax elimination will shift the tax burden to lower and middle income folks. Saying this is to attract new business is a weak argument.

Tom Maxwell

He is screwing over the average Missourian to give himself and other rich people a tax break.

Robert Rasmussen

He's continued Missouri's race to the bottom with Texas and Florida when it comes to this culture war bull, his proposition to eliminate income tax is fake populist pandering, in reality it's a rug pull on the poor and a handout for the rich.

John Shadwick

His tax plan is a blatant wealth transfer. A sales tax increase disproportionally harms lower income individuals.

Madison Haleigh

Because he hasn't done anything to help people get affordable housing or access to healthcare. He takes money from big companies to build data centers.
