Unless they have a TRULY medical reason for not getting vaccinated, they should. More and more young people (teens) are being hospitalized with Covid, So yes they should be vaccinated. Other (early childhood) vaccines are required! Why not for another disease??

Vaccinations use to readily accepted until social media disinformation turned some brains to mush. COVID will probably continue due to the utter ignorance of some people.

Not for such things. For things like MMR where there is a long history and proof of saving lives and reducing child mortality then yes.

Children have a 98 % chance of surviving covid so why would you give them a vaccine with potential side effects

It should be up to each parent/student. Children are not at risk for Covid, so why inject them with a non FDA approved vaccine unnecessarily? That is not in THEIR best interest. This vaccine has not been out long enough to possibly know any long term effects.

This is almost as bad as forced abortion. I chose to get vaccinated, but believe people should be able to make their own decision.

ANYONE that require ANYONE to have vaccines need to be held responsible if something happens. There could be several law suits that come from it.

It's not about freedom of expression it's about societal responsibility, We would still have smallpox, typhoid fever, measles to mention with the attitudes some people have.

I am assuming Deschutes County has a population of a quarter million and only 74 people have died in over a year. Requiring vaccinations is putting millions into the pockets of millionaires. I am sure they are already working on the next virus.

No, it's illegal to force an experimental drug on people for any reason... and the schools that require this are asking for some major lawsuits!!

It's not experimental. The vaccine is a tweak in an already established SARS vaccine. It took weeks. The reason it took a year was for human testing for dosage, efficacy rate etc. It's not an experimental drug, it's a new one.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
