A group of nurses at Houston Methodist Hospital made headlines this week when they staged a walkout over the hospital's requirement that they be vaccinated against the coronavirus. The workers say they don't want to be research subjects for a vaccine that's not been fully approved. Show Less

Healthcare workers should know that the vaccines are safe and, unless they have other health issues, should help the country get to levels where everyone is safe.

Hospitals that are requiring their employees to get the vaccine say it's about patient care and helping to bring an end to the pandemic that began last spring.

Why are there no Hazardous Material Bins for the dangerous waste and virus germs, trapped in the masks and gloves of all these infected people? Is it because it is liberal dempanic?

Jan M Sheley-Kump

My body MY choice. My constitutional right to say NO. It's NOT a vaccine!! It's gene therapy and gas NOT been FDA approved. NO!

Cindy Angle

I agree with the nurses. They should have a choice.

Jim Haaf

Look up Dr Peter MCCullogh that is all you need to know

Missy Marlett

It is their right not to get vaccinated. No one should ever make you get the shot. IT's a violation of your rights and I am surprised there aren't more lawsuits filed.

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

Steve Baumann

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Your own safety is your own responsibility.

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Shelley Vansell

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
