“…All the COVID-19 patients we have in the hospital have not been vaccinated…”
Yesterday, a public health advisory in Henry County, Missouri:
….In response to the increase in positive COVID-19 patients in and around our county, Henry County Health Center (HCHC) is issuing a health advisory to all Henry County residents.
[….]
Craig Thompson, CEO at Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare (GVMH) reports an increase in the number of COVID-19 patients in the hospital, as well as an escalation in the number of people testing positive for the virus. “All the COVID-19 patients we have in the hospital have not been vaccinated,” said Thompson. “With the vaccine there is still a chance that you could contract the virus, but it could mean the difference between experiencing mild symptoms or a lengthy hospital stay.”
[….]
….It is the recommendation of HCHC and GVMH that those who have not received their vaccination become vaccinated as soon as possible.
HCHC recommends that residents continue to maintain social distancing, practice good hygiene, and continue wearing a mask in public if you are not fully vaccinated.
Here we are.
Get vaccinated.
Wear a damn mask.

This morning:
Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
“Rules for thee, but not for me.” -Texas DemocratsWhile everyday Americans are required to wear masks on a plane, Texas Democrats skirted the rules as they abandoned their state and jetted to DC. Now, some are infected with COVID-19.
Disgraceful.

Pearl clutching.
Some of the responses:
Your state has 25% more residents than mine, but FIVE TIMES the covid deaths and THREE times as many cases. Can’t imagine why, what with you focusing on super important stuff going on in Texas.
Yes, it’s going so well here in #Missouri that our electeds can take time out to criticize how other vaccinated people act. #SlickVick revels in misinformation. #GOPDeathCult
Why are you talking about Texas when Missourians are dying of covid-19? If you believe masks reduce the spread so much, why aren’t you advocating for them here? Do something to help Missouri fight covid-19!
Are you vaccinated? Because they all are. Are you now advocating masks? Because that would be a great PSA for Cass County right about now because there are a lot of people infected with #DeltaVariant right here in Cass Cty & Missouri. I would guess most are your constituents [….]
The utter lack of self-reflection evidenced by MO R’s-really, almost all R’s-never ceases to amaze.
I cannot fathom the mental gymnastics it must take to send a tweet like this. Think what could be accomplished if you encouraged Missouri to get vaccinated instead. [….]
You aren’t even from Texas, I’m sure missouri has covid cases you should actually be worried about…[….]
We’re I on a charter flying with folks who are also vaccinated, I’d do the same. As would you.
Still and all, this shiny new advocacy of masks is a turn for you. Congratulations?
Missouri has a lower percentage of residents vaccinated than Texas does.
Maybe you should turn your focus towards the health of your own constituents?
So now you’re advocating FOR masks? It’s difficult to keep up.
they were vaxxed and aboard a chartered plane. Only commercial has to mask up.
And yet @GovParsonMO travels the state, WITHOUT A MASK, to celebrate Missouri while Delta roars.
Damn people are getting sick and dying in Missouri and this woman thinks this is cute
When you’re more concerned about your GOP team and winning the news cycle than about your constituents…
Those on the plane are fully vaccinated, and behaving within CDC guidelines.
Your dishonest post will encourage unvaccinated not to wear masks, which will spread COVID-19.
Missouri is getting mauled by COVID because of inaction at the state level, but sure, post silly little nonsense to deflect from the fact that Vicky does nothing for her district.
So you’re saying masks work?
So you’re saying masks work?
That’s right. Now please share your outrage about Fox News’s ant-vaccine commentaries.
Unlike you, they are doing their jobs & representing the choices their constituents want. No masks are required in private, private jet there; no masks required for the vaccinated, all vaccinated there. Unlike what you and ol’ Mike Parsons are doing for MO. Spreading it around.
Your district is burning with COVID-Delta. Get your head out of Texas. #Missouri needs a leader to stop the spread before another year of hospitals over capacity, sickness, death & zoom school.
Representative, hospitals in your district are filling up with Covid patients from all over the state in part due to dozens of rural Missouri hospitals closing in the last 20 years. And this is your chosen outrage of the day? Good grief.
What’s disgraceful is the surge of COVID-19 cases right here in our own state, the battle our hospitals and healthcare centers are facing every single day, all because you and your cronies refuse to advocate for vaccinations, masking, and public safety. YOU are disgraceful.
Where are your tweets encouraging your constituents to get vaccinated?
How are the Missouri vaccinations going? Are you helping save more of your constituents by giving them good/true vaccine information?
They were on a private plane and vaccinated. I am not sure you understand things.
The Delta variant is ravaging your state and you aren’t doing a damn thing to get people vaccinated.
Why are you minding Texas’ business? Your own state is a disaster rn ffs.
So now you care about masks and vaccination or are you just a ‘crisis actor’. Make up your mind what you are actually for then let us know.
Hey, newsflash, you’re from Missouri. Quit worrying about Texans and worry about how YOUR state of Missouri is on fire with the Delta variant. Why don’t you advocate for masks and vaccines here? This tweet is disgraceful.
While people in your district are dying because they believe BS about the vaccine and Covid. Meanwhile these people where vaccinated and have mild symptoms. See the difference, honey?
We all remember back before vaccines when the Rs in Jeff City refused masks and caused a wide-spread breakout back during our fall/winter wave. Just because you treat your constituents like they are all big dumb dummies, doesn’t mean they are. #facts #COVIDIOT
Hey Vicky, how are things going in Missouri? It looks like you’ve got a shit show going on in your state. One of the lowest vaccinated states in the country. Shouldn’t you help those people. What are you doing to help them? Your @GOP party is killing people. Sit down.
You want disgraceful?
Look in the mirror.
Advocate in favor of vaccination.
Did you wear a mask? Did you support mask wearing? Did you support the insurrection? Did you vote against impeachment of a president who supported and instigated a government coup? Have you been vaccinated? We have a lot of questions, miss Vicky. #HoldATownHalk
Holy hypocrite! Maybe try focusing on Missouri? Just a thought.
You’re a hypocrite. The virus is killing the unvaccinated and you do nothing in your own state
Why don’t you worry about the Delta variant spreading in your own state and stop with the faux pearl clutching about Texas Democrats. Sit down and shut up!
Missouri is in the toilet because of idiots like you. Resign. Go away.
“Texas, it’s like a whole other country”

He’s on a roll.
Tin foil.
Last night, from the U.S. Representative for Missouri’s 8th Congressional District:
Jason Smith @JasonSmithMO
The Biden administration wants to knock down your door KGB-style to force people to get vaccinated. We must oppose forced vaccination!
7:43 PM · Jul 17, 2021
Some of the responses:
Your aide told me on the phone on January 5th that you following the will of the people was “just my opinion”.
Most of the responses are about what a horrible dishonest thing to say to perpetuate a mentality literally killing my fellow Missourians right now.
But on a different note, the KGB never did door to door vaccinations back in the old USSR, not sure where Jason picked that up.
He picked it up right out of his butt
This is a dishonest tweet and is contributing to deaths
They got me walking out my front door on my way to work with one of those net launchers, held me down and gave me the shot. The whole thing was actually very humane.
This kind of rhetoric is not helpful as we seek to counter the rise in Delta COVID-19 cases in Missouri. Vaccinations save lives and must remain nonpartisan; please don’t politicize public health.
Too late.
Can Republicans make a point without lying? Could you even try?
No. No. This has been another edition of short answers to simple questions.
This is so horrible and not true. I hate that you feel you need to propagate this type of message. Power, prestige whatever it is you are seeking is not worth this. I pray you find your way back to truth and common sense.
He can’t go back to a place he’s never been.
This you?
He’s a dumbass.
No, they want to send local community members door to door to speak with their neighbors about the vaccines that are available for free, why getting vaccinated is important, and dispel the misinformation you—a sitting congressman—is spewing into the wind. You should be ashamed.
You know, you could actually be a force for good in American lives if you talked about real things instead of made-up ones.
Is it worth it? Really?
How misleading…. From the guy who represents the district with THE MOST Covid cases at this time, one would think you’d have the decency to recommend vaccinations. But no…. You’d rather let the virus take a toll on your constituents.
And he’s vaccinated himself.
You’ve never answered what you did at the insurrection. We have a picture of you there.
OK. Even assuming that was true (which it absolutely is not) now tell me how many ICU beds are currently available in your district? And how many new cases of COVID in the last week? And of those how many are the Delta variant? What are you doing to oppose THAT?
We must oppose something that isn’t happening so I can win my primary even if it kills all my constituents!!!
If you have to lie to gain political points then you have no point
No they don’t. And you’re already vaccinated
Sir, honest question, is this kind of stuff worth a $174k a year job?
You know this isn’t true. So why say it?
You lie and are a disgrace. Period.
This is a lie. Missouri is a hotbed of illness that’s preventable with a simple vaccine. You are getting people killed you seditious weasel.
It must be wonderful to live in a state where I don’t have to wear a mask, get a vaccine, or really do any critical thinking. I also have the right to watch my neighbors and loved ones gasp their final breaths.
Enjoy!
You are a liar, and you are putting your constituents’ lives at risk
This is patently untrue. Our health care workers need support – not blatant lies.
This is, of course, bullshit.
Covid levels hitting winter highs and more in your state, and you tweet this?
It’s kind of cute that you think the KGB does door-to-door vaccinations
“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.
After that we will force you to look at our fabric swatches and paint cards to choose new window treatments and tasteful color palettes for your walls and funiture.
And they’re really going to go high pressure on the extended warranty for your car.
Wait, is this a parody account?
Sadly, no.
Honestly that kinda sounds badass
That’s not remotely true, but you know that.
The Biden administration wants to take away your birthday cake and ponies! We must oppose pony theft!
And they’ll take your Bibles, too!
I heard the Biden administration is secretly working on an executive order to go door-to-door giving all registered Republicans forced government enemas, can you comment on this?
And on and on…

That’s my alma mater! Was it always this bad and I didn’t realize because I was a kid? Surely it’s gotten worse over the trump years right?
I am strongly in support of immigration, and am sure that these people will learn our language as soon as humanly possible
No mind here worth changing..
I’m guessing they did not pass science class…..this uneducated mess right here is why this variant is taking over Missouri. [….]
They failed English as well.
Missouri has a massive amount of selfish & stupid people ruining it for everyone else.
Pathetic, just embarrassingly pathetic.

On Monday:
Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
So now the Biden Administration wants to get into people’s text messages … to force vaccine compliance and who knows what else
[….]
8:14 PM · Jul 12, 2021
Apparently the tracking microchips aren’t in the vaccine. Time to switch to a rotary dial land line.
Idiot.
Some of the responses:
Everyone needs to be vaccinated. How many dead do you want?
Since when is giving people correct information and offering them help considered “forcing” them to do something?
Where in the text does it say ANY of what you say-force vaccine compliance? Where? Is scaring the base the only way you know how to communicate, Senator?
What is wrong with a text message about how to get to a vaccine? I thought earlier you were praising how fast Trump got the vaccine done and now you don’t want people to take it? Which is it, you can’t have both?
Hey Josh, how’s that Delta Outbreak going in MO? Are you waiting for the Lambda version to arrive too?
Making something available and easier to get is not forcing.
So now the GOP doesn’t want Americans to get vaccinated? Headuptheass is a serious disease and it looks like we have another pandemic on our hands
Do you live in 2002? Are you paying per text?
Heard you were big on technology. Guess that was false
#protip: you can’t vaccinate text messages, mobile phones, etc.
Missouri counties are in the top 20 of USA for covid cases, hospitalizations, and death. Your voters are dying and You have no answers or appropriate response.
The irony is that the Biden administration is encouraging rural conservatives to get this life-saving vaccine, and you’re encouraging them to get this deadly virus.
Stopping the spread of misinformation and saving lives is such a horrible thing.
Those aren’t the text messages you should be worried about Joshy boy
We see what you did there.
Offering information is not force. Try helping America instead of standing in the way.
When undermining the world’s oldest democracy isn’t enough.
So managing public health concerns isn’t easy and I’m not sure where the privacy lines should be drawn but at least thought being put into it is better than a finger pointing Twitter barrage. Nice job as usual telling me something I can read myself.
Great! Conveying public health information is the function of good government. Thank you
That’s not at all what this says Josh.
I get amber alerts automatically. What’s the difference?
They might even start making you wear shoes in restaurants
That’s not what this says.
Your state is doing great. Keep up the good work.
God forbid Americans are informed
Bold of you to come out against Amber Alerts
The day they start “fact checking” my text messages to friends and family is the day I covfefe.
Bet your glad you live in VA now so your family is safe.
Oh the horror! People who want to be vaccinated getting vaccinated!! #Jerk
“To force vaccine compliance”? Did you actually read the thing you posted? It says no such thing. You’re not even a good liar.

Today:
City of Chicago
Travel Advisory
Updated 7/13/2021
Based on data as of 7/12/2021After several weeks with no states on its Travel Advisory, Missouri and Arkansas have been added back to the list amid an increase in COVID-19 cases in some regions of the country. Recent increases pushed the two states back past the mark of 15 cases per day, per 100,000 residents.
Any unvaccinated people traveling from Missouri or Arkansas are advised to obtain a negative COVID-19 test result no more than 72 hours prior to arrival in Chicago or quarantine for a 10-day period upon arrival. CDPH continues to stress the importance of getting vaccinated for COVID, and adherence to all masking guidelines for travel.
In response to the changing dynamics of COVID-19 transmission across the United States, and to support Chicago’s efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, the City issued a Travel Order in July 2020, applicable to anyone coming into the City of Chicago from designated states with a significant degree of community-wide spread of COVID-19. Anyone traveling from a state on the Orange list was directed to obtain a negative COVID-19 test result no more than 72 hours prior to arrival in Chicago or quarantine for a 10-day period.
On June 1, 2021, for the first time since July 2020, no states were at the 15 cases per 100,000 residents threshold for the orange tier. With three consecutive periods of no states in the Orange tier, the Order transitioned to an Advisory, effective June 29, 2021. Travel restrictions can be reinstated at any time if CDPH sees a surge in cases anywhere. Travelers must still abide by all masking requirements on planes, buses, and trains, as well as in transportation hubs such as airports and stations.
Missouri.
Here we are.
Get vaccinated.
Wear a damn mask.
