What is sad is people like Lois who think that if I brush my teeth it protects her teeth. Nope. Your vaccine should help you, these are being shown to have more side effects than others, are under EUA, and against Nuremberg code and our Constitution Federal and Missouri.

Liberals believe what suits themselves, regardless of science or facts. If they repeat a lie often enough, it becomes true, in their little world.

Lisa White

Because we have rights as citizens. Our health should be our decision, not Joe Biden.

To be vaccinated protects others not just yourself

Many employees support such a vaccine mandate. The Faculty Council approved a resolution urging such a mandate at the Columbia campus.

Not one single death has been recorded from Omicron, yet it will give everyone who gets it antibodies. Omicron is the beginning of the end, to the Covid-19 Pandemic, and the end to the communist fear Agenda.

Everyone needs to be vaccinated so we can control the spread and the mutation of this virus. Why is it that we willingly are vaccinated for the flu,measles,mumps, ect. but resist a free life saving vaccine? Think of the money and lives saved if we can control the outbreak of more mutations

Niki Goldenstein

It should not be mandated, it should be a choice. We need more information on the vaccine.

Carolyn Youngberg

They have a responsibility to their students, faculty, administrators and university workers to keep them safe. Bowing to political pressure does nothing for the safety and health of these people.

Jack L

I guess students don`t need to be protected from COVID. .... OH WAIT!.....a high percentage of people who are contracting the latest strain of the virus are young people

Max

This is Big Pharma's Current Cash Cow. Protection against Omicron coronavirus variant improves with three vaccine doses, Pfizer says. Pfizer says, Buy my Snake Oil and you will live forever. ROTFLOL

Lisha Lammers

Mask mandates work!

Max

No they don't. Florida has the lowest infection rate in the Nation, and they have used less masking and all other precautions, than all other states.

Adam Schrader

Let's make it even more unsafe to be in Columbia. Good idea.....sigh

Health agencies have labeled the new omicron coronavirus variant a "variant of concern" and are watching to see if this heavily mutated strain is more easily spread.

Whether omicron will be worse than the dominant delta variant remains to be seen.

I voted no, because the doc in South Africa said it was mild...and nobody has died of Omicron. So the media is just being assholes again with their scare porn. It'd be nice if instead of being maliciously irresponsible trash, the ppl going to J school could actually be rational & sane again.

Will Mason

Because Chicken little has been claiming that the sky is falling for the last 1.5 years.

Max

The Border Patrol recorded nearly 1.7 million apprehensions last year, eclipsing the record set in 2000. None of these are vaccinated, and many are allowed to stay, after being sent all over the USA. Why would I be concerned. Biden appears to know how serious this is, and he doesn't care.

Kevin Blount

I'm fully vaccinated, so I'm less concerned that unvaccinated should be. COVID can be fatal. Please get the shot, even just one is helpful to everyone.

Those who support the power argue these officials best know how to protect public health because it's their area of expertise.

A Cole County judge ruled last week that such orders from non-elected officials were unconstitutional. Attorney General Eric Schmitt has sued local governments over health orders.

Because they have no authority over the public.

Lisa Gore

They are not elected representatives of our constitutional rights not to enter into a health care system of our own God-Given Free Will of choice.

Max

No one has the right, to override anyone's Constitutional Rights.
