There are too many people out there that see the "common good" as "government interference". If this were 70 years ago, these same people would claim the polio vaccine was a "communist plot" to take over the world. Polio would be a major scourge on our lives, just as Covid is today.

Max

70 years ago there were not as many Communists in America, as there are now.

Paul Remagen

because everyone should be vaccinated, to get this covid under control and we can get back to a little normal things again.

Missourians continue to get vaccinated even though the rate has slowed. And the level of new virus cases remains well below the pandemic's highs.

Hyperbole, all of it.......

Jim Haaf

Find Dr Peter McCullough that is all the information that you need. By definition this jab is not a vaccine

Tim Mallory

Because it’s a ridiculous virus. 98.3% chance of surviving it, no reason to shut down the world for it.

Allows for more adults to be in the work force at a much higher and faster rate, which will raise gdp higher than the cost of pre-school.

Samantha

The cost is too much for most families. With free childcare, parents will be able to work and it will free up money for other expenses. Additionally, the early years are the most formative and important and early childhood workers should be acknowledged and compensated for their important work.

We are being swallowed by Socialism/ Communism.

Vernon Taylor

Free just means somebody else pays for it.

Judy Bowers

People shouldn't have children they can't afford. Parents should stay home with small children. Having govt in every part of our lives leads to a loss of personal freedom. Big govt is inefficient and expensive. Becoming dependent on govt is a dangerous thing and is a huge leap toward socialism.

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..
