While many in the US are getting vaccinated, there are still plenty of people who believe psychopaths currently enjoying the wake of chaos they stir with lies and conspiracy theories. Sadly, these sheeple have little understanding of science; it's indiscernible from magic, or some voodoo curse.

Despite the growing presence of the delta variant, cases and deaths from coronavirus remain far lower than they were at the height of the pandemic.

The Border Crisis, Crime, Inflation, Fuel costs including utilities, and the failing current administration are far more of a concern to me, among other things.

Steve TheBmann

I'm not concerned by this one, the earlier one, or all of those to follow. There are bigger concerns in the world right now and this seems to be more smoke and mirrors.

Adam Schrader

Not worried at all. I'm not a moron. I'm fully vaccinated. Wake up people!!!! Get vaccinated already. Do your part.

Masks should still be worn for the safety of the children.

Most Mid-Missouri schools have made masks optional as coronavirus cases have gone down and more people have gotten vaccinated.

Only a maroon would vote yes to this.

No. It should be optional. No mandates.

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.
