Republican lawmakers in Missouri have filed multiple bills restricting coronavirus vaccine mandates, including in workplaces. They say the issue is one of personal freedom.

We still live in a free country. Because even the vaccinated are still getting and spreading the newest Covid virus.

Mark Cunningham

It is a fact that vaccines are not 100% effective, they only lessen the symptoms in some. It is one thing to require a vaccine that is 100% effective, but requiring a vaccine that is not close to that AND given the fact they may find another for the recent virus, it does not warrant a mandate.

Private businesses are not allowed to practice medicine, with or without a License.

Will Mason

what other medical procedure are mandate supporters think employers should be allowed to mandate? How about employer mandated exercise? Would that be ok too?

Lisa Gore

No job owner or business has a conservatorship over me choosing what medical therapy or gene therapy that would force me to do what they say, no right to my private health info, nor my health history. That is unconstitutional. My proof: The US Constitution.

Lisa Gore

Hey Justin, my rights are not privileges guaranteed under the constitution...perhaps you should read it. My “privileges” are your rights too! We need to all stand together against tyranny!

Max

Justin must have gotten off early from Mickey D's today.

J Jensen

This is America. Will fitness also be mandated?

David Craig

Mandates are bad for missourians. And vaccines don't work anyway. I am a second class citizen if businesses allowed to discriminates against me

John Burton

workplaces are short-staffed enough. why give them an ultimatum to have to fire someone, reduce their workforce more and possibly have to pay unemployment benefits?

No, a private business has the right to run their business how they see fit. If a employee has a problem with it, they can go find another job. If the business suffers for it, that is the cost they have to pay.

George Clarke

Let the business management team decide what is best for their company.

Fredrick Green

Private businesses should have the choice of what they want to do. It's rheue business not ours If someone disagrees with that they can shop somewhere else.

Max

You can not violate, other people's Constitutional rights, because you don't agree with them. Any American would know this.

1) There is no legal recourse if something goes wrong. 2) These dangerous gene therapies have never been tried before. 3) The chief executive does not make laws. 4) Something needs to happen to Joe Biden.

Max

Biden has no authority to do this, and he will soon find that out.

Larry Sabulsky

Mandates need to go away. Freedom needs to return.

Paul Hamby

not the role of the federal government. the mandate is unconstitutional and that is the question the high court should be answering

Fredrick Green

It's not the government's job to tell someone to get a vaccination. While I promote getting the vaccine it is up to the person to make their decision on receiving the vaccine.

Jacob G

It is now known public info that the vaccines do not prevent the vaccinated from spreading COVID19. Therefore the mandate, targeting only the unvaxxed for weekly testing does not stop the vaccinated from workplace spread.

Lisa Gore

It is illegal for the government to claim they are smarter than every citizen in the US for making our own sound intelligent medical decisions like they have a conservatorship over us. It’s called Parens Patrae, also the Brandon-admin lawyer said the unvaxed are a threat to vaxed=vaxes dont work🇺🇸

Employers are expected to provide a safe working environment. Employers providing health insurance benefit will have tor raise premiums or stop offering all together.

Max

Forcing a person to inject a foreign substance into their body, is not providing a safe work environment for that person, or for anyone else. It is also unconstitutional.

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.

Max

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.

lois tyler

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.

lois tyler

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
