Does the herd immunity only apply to the sheeple?

Shots are being given at a slower rate in Missouri over the last two weeks as clinics routinely end with unused shots.

We're not in a herd mentality already?

Max

I'm not sure if being led around by the nose is the same as herd mentality or not, but I agree with you!

Randy Wheeler

There are too many "vax deniers" that will NEVER get the shots and they'll keep creating mutations of this virus.

Max

Most people call this the flu.

Randel Hearne

As the virus mutates the vaccines will become less effective and will have to be readjusted and given each fall. There will be a number of people who haven't taken any vaccine who will get infected. This resemble our regular flu outbreaks in the fall and winter from now on..

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

Harry D

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.
