The Biden administration is requiring many large companies to require their workers to get vaccinated in its push to raise vaccination levels.

It’s the right thing to do. As a human, it is our responsibility to protect others from this Virus. It’s been proven safe and effective in preventing serious disease. The longer the pandemic goes on the more virulent the virus will become. It’s up to each of us to do our part.

Vaccinated people are getting sick, still transmitting the virus to others, and still dying. Why are policy makers ignoring natural immunity? Why does the percentage for herd immunity keep changing? Follow the money. COVID pediatric cases are way down - find some other fear tactic and fast.

Jamie McAtee

The vaccine is not designed to prevent you from getting the virus altogether. The data is fairly clear. Vaccinated people have less chance of getting it, less chance of getting as sick and less chance of dying. All parameters measured are statistically significant. Not a $ or political thing.

Donna Hogue

Its not about you. Do something for the good of all!

Adam Schrader

People DO have a right to take the vaccine. They DON'T have the right to jeopardize other people's health and safety. If you don't want the vaccine, find a job from home.

Adam Schrader

Yes, I'm vaccinated. And yes I got the delta strain last month. Was hospitalized. Multiple doctors said if I didn't get vaxed, I well could be dead. People, this is serious! Get vaxed for the health of everyone around you.

Harry D

In a massive government over reach, the vaccine mandate actually applies to people who are employed by covered employers, who only work from home. What is next? Mandates on people with heart disease, obiesity, smokers, cancer, genetic indicators of future health issues? Resist tyrany!

Jeffrey S

The unvaxinated are a place for the virus to evolve in. It is like that the virus will mutate to become worse than it allready is. PLEASE, for the sake of the newborn, get vaccinated. Signed Grandfather.

People are worried about THEIR freedoms, not at all caring about others freedoms to a safe and healthy working environment. So their employers have to do it for them.

Harry D

Don't wait for the official OSHA rule - fire the vax deniers NOW. But that is not enough -no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark on their vaccine card with the name of the vaccine. Vax deniers must be literally starved to death. It is the only way to get back to normal life. 100% vax.

Max

If the vax worked the vaccinated would not be afraid of the unvaccinated, but it does not work. It is not a vax, it is an untested flu shot.

Mary Ann Bittle

You need to get your $$$ back for that degree you got in virology. Whoops, yours is from Facebook U, Reddit U, U of YouTube, or FOX U, isn't it? No wonder you have no clue what you're talking about. That's fine... only the unvaxxed are dying, so keep it up! There's tons of you on sorryantivaxxers!

Many workers, including a group of 3M employees who walked out of the Columbia plant Monday, say they shouldn't have to choose between the job and their medical freedom.

Everyone is already short-staffed. This mandate is stupid. These are the people that kept coming to work while everyone else sat home on their butts collecting a check.

Max

Why are US Senators and US House Members exempt? I think they should also be fired.

Adam Schrader

For once, I agree with you

Lisa Gore

99.96% survivable without the “vax”...the vaxed are still wearing masks, and have been catching more Covid than the unvaxed...this leads me to our intelligent freedom to choose...just like we can choose to vote for certain candidates or not, which we will remember who voted for or against. 100%

Dan Myers

It's a decision that should be made between a doctor and patient, not the government.

Will Mason

The 43% who think others should lose their jobs, should lose THEIR jobs. They are self centered jerks.

Mandi Hamlin

This is something that can have life long effects on a person. A job is just that, a job. A workplace shouldn't have the ability to make life changing or altering choices for their workers. They don't get to have a say in any other medical decision for any of their workers, this is no different.

Vernon Taylor

Because Harry D voted yes.

Max

Harry D is wise beyond your comprehension. Don't try to keep up with him, that ain't gonna happen.

Harry D

I frequently vote the opposite of how I really believe to demonstrate absurdity by being absurd. Saint Rush Limbaugh taught me that.

Not for the touchdown called back last night. Did you see the Mahomes meltdown? That guy was about to cry. He was cussing people out. Then he threw his helmet onto the ground. What a pathetic example for young people to see.

Blaming refs is the way of a loser.

Homes in primarily R-1 residential areas are losing homes to short term rentals. This loses homes to families that could be long term residents. This drives

Forcing American citizens to leave the CCP HQ (Columbia, MO) isn't a bad thing. Missouri will be better off, if everyone leaves Columbia, MO.

Tim Spaniard

It's better to have the marketplace dictate the cost of a home (supply & demand) rather than limiting investors and home buyers (the money) options, no?

Jean Blackwood

Condos near me being rented to temp health care workers. Makes it feel like a motel.

Harry D

Turning a single-family residence into a commercial rental building needs to be regulated so it does not impact the surrounding neighbors. Party houses or large groups of young people with no adult supervision is bad for a neighborhood and should be prohibited.

Robert Rasmussen

A lack of regulation will lead to shortages in housing inventory. Honestly these short-term rentals should probably be regulated into extinction. Make housing affordable again! - Rob Rasmussen

Regulation = No freedom

Fat Guy Outdoors

Most of my neighbors are short-term. I love it. They are all professionals mostly healthcare. Zero kids, zero riff raff. I was happy after they were able to evict all the bums earlier.

Max DeYoung

Everything the government touches gets ruined.

Tim Spaniard

Regulation leads to shortages (then a rise in prices), quality of homes and neighborhoods goes down (more crime, etc.) Regulation is almost always a bad idea! The only regulation that should be put forth should be how much the government can interfere with a free society!
