Perhaps we should look at the reason Missouri residents are behind in vaccines? Education is the number one thing we can do to encourage people to get them. And continue to wear the mask if you haven't been vaccinated.

Tom

Debbie you have it correct. “Education!” Smart to take the vaccine. Others will not take the vaccine and not wear a mask. Missouri has a long ways to go with “education.” I’m from Missouri. But at the same time very disappointed in my brothers and sisters.

Mark Thrasher

I am concerned, still trying to get family members to take it seriously and get vaccinated. it feels like pushing a boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down.

Adam Schrader

If these idiots would just wise up and get the damn vaccine, then these numbers would drop.

Max

Yahoo News: Nearly 4,000 fully vaccinated people in Massachusetts have tested positive for COVID-19, according to recent data from the state Department of Public Health.

Harold Kerr II

I say let those who do not get the vaccines drop dead.

Tom

Kehynan, so I suppose you want to be part of society at the same time. Come and go as you wish, right? You don’t want to change. Meanwhile the rest of society is caring for the Covid-19 sick, business and their workforce have already suffered enough. What is your part in this?

Joana Pentlin

It seems to be spreading very fast.School will be starting soon and it will get even worse.

Daniel M. J.

MO GOP politicians should be ashamed of themselves for politicizing science and going out of their way to do the wrong thing over and over again with coronavirus. The fact that MO is leading the nation in new coronavirus cases is a direct result of their irresponsible actions & dereliction of duty.

Harold Kerr II

Missourians are not getting the vaccine. A typically STUPID move by a bunch of rednecks,

Tom

Hey Harold, Rednecks are one thing. But people who want not to vaccinate are another - stupid. Just don’t include the two together.

Tom

Covid-19 patients have one thing in common. They have not been vaccinated. So very disappointed in Missouri.

Max

Typical for the mentality of Missourians--no need to get shots.

Tom Sicignano

It took us 15 months to recover from the pandemic, and I’m in no mood for America to go through a rebound. And President Biden and Vice President Harris better get Missouri and Arkansas under control, because I don’t intend to go through that hell of last year again!

Max

After ninety days Harris finally made it to the border, and Joe still gets his pudding every night. Don't expect any help from that administration.

Vaccination rates remain low in many of the state's rural counties, where cases are spiking. Yet case numbers remain well below their pandemic peaks.

ALL THIS IS GREAT COVER TO HAVE ANOTHER ROUND OF LUNACY WITH MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING AND THE LIKE TO KEEP EVERYONE FEARFUL. AND SO SURRENDER THEIR GOD-GIVEN FREEDOMS. I ALMOST DIED WITH BLOOD CLOTS 10 YEARS AGO AND SO WILL NOT BE GETTING ANY COVID VACCINE.

Harold Kerr II

What a typically DUMB response by the Loony Right

Debra Riffle

One death in Boone County in recent weeks is why I don't believe it's time to worry. I would be reconsidering vaccination, if I had not already done so.

Fred Colbern

More people are killed on the highways than by this virus. Yet no one is doing anything about it.

Why are the marines any different than any other branch of service that gets deployed in U.S. As a veteran- I have been deployed for things in U.S. over the years- it’s not just for protecting us in foreign countries Our oath of office says we will protect foreign and domestic

Thomas OSullivan

Newsom, Bass and Waters can't handle the situation. I believe the Marines should be a last resort but certainly an option on the table.

Eric Smith

Maxine Waters face alone should be a warning to the world that a darwinian subspecies has overtaken southern California

Fat Guy Outdoors

What do you do when a foreign body rises up on American soil. You make an example out of it. Never understood the waving of other countries flags in these situations. They are sending you back to the country you are so proud of. Im hoping they're treated like armed combatants.

Belinda Kitchen

Because someone needs to help cause obviously the government in California don't care . The president is doing all that he can to help . I say if ur illegal you need to leave either willingly or by forcing.

Max DeYoung

This is an insurrection, with guns and devastating fires. They should all be arrested and treated with same due process as the Jan 6th people.

Toasty

Would you be saying the same thing if Biden had deployed the Marines on Jan 6th? Even the National Guard seems a little over the top, but Newsom is 100% responsible for the chaos. He needs to be held accountable for not supporting ICE and the arrests of the criminals that broke into our country.

This is not an insurrection! The police set their own car on fire from what I heard. These protests were peaceful for the most part until Felon47 got involved. They did cause a lot of damage with the graffiti, but no one was injure bc of it. Maybe Felon47 should have sent 700 Maries like your post o

Fat Guy Outdoors

You heard they destroyed their own police cars. I would suggest you change the place where you get your lies from. They burned they're own cars. Wow. TDS is real.

Lisha Lammers

No, the Marines should NOT be deployed to States against their own people.

Toasty

Not that it may not be warranted, but sets a bad precedence when, not if, a real socialist tricks his/her way into the power and justifies deploying our military against her citizens to 'keep the peace'. I voted for Trump, but lets call 'balls and strikes', he does not get a pass for this behavior.
