I will vaccinate my child(ren) because it is the best way to protect my kids from the coronavirus and allows for them to have a more normal life during the pandemic.

There are other ways to protect the children than to force them to get a vaccine.

The vaccine only helps the person receiving the shot. My children are healthy. They do not have any medical issues. There is no need to have them put a foreign object in their body that is NOT FDA approved.

Max

My Grandchildren are older than that, but I would only recommend that they got the vaccine, if they had compromising health issues. Too many false claims circulating to trust it. Fake Fauci and his merry band of democrats give it a bad odor.

Max

Adam, don't drink anymore of Biden's free Kool Aid. You are looking pretty silly, but you always do.

Tracy

My God you people are stupid. The reason we are still dealing with this is due to the large number of ignorant citizens of Missouri. Do yourself a favor, turn off FOX, OANN and NEWSMAX. Try reading (if you are able) to get the facts.

Max

Tracy, not everyone listens to CNN. You raise your children your way and leave the other children alone.

Will Mason

The CDC has been wrong repeatedly during the pandemic. I See no reason to trust that they will be right this time.

Mae Paulo

Despite the media and political misguiding push; this is still an experimental vaccine that could ha e long term side effects. If something happened to my child... And its the only vaccine that you cant sue for side effects... Humm...

Adam Schrader

If more people git vaccinated, then the airports/flights would be back to normal.

Max

The vaccine mandate has caused United Airlines to lose enough people thay they have stopped service to eight airports, including Columbia. Thanks to the Brandon Administration.

Tracy

Do your children go to public school? Every vaccine they are giving before allowing children to attend public school was, at one time or another, experimental. Get the damn shot so the rest of us can go back to normal!

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

Max

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Fred

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Max

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Max

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

Max

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Jamie Kochert

On a fixed income and everything is more expensive.

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I have no desire to watch him spew lies and pat himself on the back. He's a sorry excuse of a human being.

Max

Thee truth is hard for some to swallow. Maybe you could find a Biden or Obama clip to watch?

Steve Baumann

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Fred

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Fred

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Brenda Freeman

No i don't like listening to the lies that comes out of his mouth

Fred

I don't enjoy being lied to ...

Max

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

Max

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
