More vaccinated people are catching omicron but evidence shows they're not getting as sick and the overwhelming majority of deaths are in unvaccinated people.

Many people remain skeptical about vaccines -- only 55% of Missourians are vaccinated.

Wasn’t taking it before and definitely won’t now since we know it doesn’t work at all!

Adam Schrader

Doesn't work huh. I'd be DEAD without the vaccine. Was hospitalized for a long time last year. Several doctors said I'd be dead without it. Vaccines aren't a guarantee you won't get covid. But it will definitely reduce your symptoms and save your life

Jack L

My opinion hasn`t changed. I agree with Donald Trump, I am both vaccinated and boosted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSfeCqKty9o

That is what I watched, he did support the vaccine. He fast tracked it's creation. If he had not done that, we would not have a vaccine.

Max

That u-tube film makes Biden, his administration, and his followers, look like liars, and hypocrites. Thanks for posting.

Will Mason

Because the media keeps saying crap like this "Omicron has shown the power to evade vaccination, creating a higher number of breakthrough cases." While pretending that they are not trying to manipulate polls such as this one.

Lisa Gore

Because insurance co’s: increased 40% death rates aged 18-65 most not related to Covid, but “unknown” this is around the world, started this trend in 2021, think it’s very probable to say what part of the cause is, fentanyl overdoses& vax. Thx to open borders&Fauci suppression of Iver/hydr efficacy.

Max

Such an odd question. You can be against, or for the vaccine, and still answer the same way as someone else, who has a completely different opinion, than yours.

Lisa Gore

Trump helped produce the initial vaccines. The formulas changed after he was cheated out of his office. They are all still experimental, never tested on humans before, I don’t care who makes it happen, it’s too soon to see what MRNA gene therapy does, it does cause spike protein prod. Which is toxic

Jack L

LOL Make up your mind! First you say the vaccine is worthless, and then you praise Trump for helping to develop it.

Jack L

You must be watching some other film clip. MY film clip is from FOX news and it shows Donald Trump supporting the vaccine

Rise Barnes-Keyes

I'm ill with it currently. No I haven't been tested but I know that I'm positive. Two other women that I work with, both came down with the same illness at the same time as me with the same symptoms and severity (if not worse). They both tested and they are positive. Didn't help them. Common sense.

Letitia DenHartog

I was already vaccinated and boosted before Omicron

Many medical experts are pushing for the definition to include a booster shot after omicron has shown an ability to evade protection.

So far the definition remains two shots of Moderna or Pfizer and a shot on Johnson & Johnson.

Why is it called a vaccine? A real vaccine protects you from the disease. This stuff only lessons the effects of the disease, and that is questionable. The CDC is unreliable and Fauci is less than unreliable. Fauce lies every time he opens his mouth.

David Wiley

If this keeps up everyone will be getting boosters until they are old and dead. You ONLY get one shot for the Flu and considered vaccinated so if you got the two shots from Pfizer/Moderna or the Single from J&J you should be considered FULLY Vaccinated too.

Masks don’t work!

Max

Neither do liberals.

Adam Schrader

Then please, please continue to not wear a mask. Get covid. Need hospitalization. Put your family and friends through it. Make the hospital staff issues even worse. Eventually die. Thin the heard

Max

Actually, he should sue the individuals that make this decision, not the schools. The students and the taxpayers should not be punished for the actions of other peoples stupidity.

Lisa Gore

Parental rights and the students rights are at stake. No school board member has the right over legislators to force this. Missouri’s emergency is over. The alarmists need to start moving on to saving our country from Brandon.

Max

Sheeple can't function, without constant guidance, and their ceremonial masks, and other forms of safety equipment, such as hand sanitizers, etc., etc....

Mark Cunningham

Before forcing students to wear masks they should do online learning. The bottom line is the virus is not any deadlier than the flu for young people. If teachers want to wear a mask do so, but there should be no mandate.

Schools that have brought back mask requirements say they need them to slow the virus' spread through the school and to have enough staff to operate.

Let the people in each individual district who know the conditions in that district make decisions for them. Politicians need to stop interjecting where thy do not belong just to further their career. It appears they have no regard for what is best for the people. Shameful

Jeanne Thomas

He should not be wasting the state's funds for this. The school administrations know what is best for them and their schools. These are different times. Our children should remain safe, as deemed necessary to the current situations.

Lisa Burnop

Let the schools handle what is best for them. He is only doing it for his own political gain while running for Senate. I would think he would have more urgent matters to handle than attacking our schools.

Lisa Gore

CPS has no legal authority to continue fear-mongering. Cloth masks, the vaxes don’t work, online learning stunts learning and developmental stages, but keep living in fear if it makes you feel better. Mass Formation Psychosis is real. Eric Schmitt does a great job!

Adam Schrader

He needs to keep his nose out of this. Thank goodness the local schools have enough sense to do what needs to be done and keep our kids safe. Learning from home and being healthy is far better than being in an unhealthy environment and potentially making others seriously ill

Jack L

Adam,here is an interesting site to visit https://www.sorryantivaxxer.com/

Eric will be a bigger problem for the Socialists, when he becomes your Senator.

R Talbott

The Attorney General threats of suing school districts, who are trying to better control illness at their LOCAL LEVEL, should be considered overreach. And any school district who is sued should successfully sue the attorney general’s office for any expenses/damages arising from spread of disease.

Cindy Ray

That decision belongs to the local school board. He's making it political at the risk of students, teachers, other staff and families.

Kimberly Wright

Doesn't Mr. Schmitt have more important work to do than interfere with schools that are trying to make it safer for their students and staff so they might avoid having to resort to virtual learning.

Jack L

Let the schools decide about mask mandates. Schmitt is only getting involved in this for political reasons. He should be fighting crime, not high schools

Max

When did the schools get their License to Practice Medicine? I don't recall seeing that anywhere.

Max

But it doesn't matter. Eric will win.
