I'm an optimist, so I hope it will work, but I'm glad it involves those of us who are already vaccinated.

Corey Smith

Missourians can get encouraged to get a vaccine.

It remains to be seen how much the program will move Missouri's low vaccination rate of about 40%.

Eighty percent of the people are wise enough to know that they should not risk their health or their life, on a chance to win a prize that they will not win.

Melanie Cusick

Yet not wise enough to know they should not risk their life on the chance that this is all a lie. There's more likelihood they would win a drawing than there is that all those videos of Dead People Trucks outside of hospitals are fake.

Melanie Cusick

Every forum I see discussing this, anti vaxxers are saying "being bribed won't change my mind."

Adam Schrader

Won't work because to many Mirrourians are morons

Melanie Cusick

Not sure what correlation max is making between "moron" and "liberal city." The map of states with low Vax rates and high cases correlate to Red States. Who's the moron- risking certain death to covid, or risking *maybe* unknown outcomes from the vax? I'd say avoid death now but I'm a libtard.

Max

And most of them live in liberal cities.

Coronavirus cases are surging just a month before most schools start fall classes. Children age 12 and older are now eligible for the vaccine.

Only so they won't be abused by government and school officials.

Adam Schrader

Damn right I am. Far too many idiots out there not doing the right thing. A responsible parent does everything they can to ensure their child's safety and well being. Including vaccinations

Wendi Newman

This vaccine is safer than covid and vaccinations are the only chance we have to stop this virus and prevent mutations.

Adam Schrader

Amen Wendi!

Adverse reactions are concerning for teen boys especially.

Should schools mandate masks for everyone this fall?

In my opinion, if they are not vaccinated then they should wear a mask. Kids under 12 should wear a mask since they are not able to get vaccinated.

Max

Masks are for fear mongering and nothing else. Masks don't work and children don't get the virus anyway. The people who came up with this nonsense need masks made of duct tape.

Missy Marlett

I don't believe the masks make a lot of difference. My daughter works at the University Hospital and is required to wear a mask the whole time she is at work. She was recently diagnosed with COVID and she has been nowhere but home and work. I tested negative. So my vote for the mask is no!

sheri smith

Kids under 12 generally are not with those over 12 in the same school, for one. Why punish those who are vaccinated to cater to those who are not? For another. If you're getting vaccinated then have to mask up because of those who don't, why bother

Jennifer Hancock

As long as they are vaccinated with both doses, they should be optional.
