Last Wednesday:

Eric Schmitt
[August 23, 2023]
No vaccine mandates. No vaccine passports. No mask mandates. No lockdowns
[….]

Some of the responses:

Fight hard Senator. The good people of MIssouri are standing with you and ready to take on the liberals and their new world order. Good christian people have to RISE UP every now and then to protect our families and our country. MAGA for all

go get your heart attack booster and leave the true americans alone you commie

What has lyin biden done that is good for the country? He is on vacation over 40% of the time and that doesn’t count naps. He has alzheimers and dementia, can’t carry on a conversation, can’t find his way off stages, falls all the time… even up hill on stairs and the list goes on.

More COVID vaccinated US Citizens have died than the number who were not vaccinated.

It’s getting close to election time so Liberals are running scared.

Search “Covid Lab found in central California” The results will scare you.

100 percent could have been prevented if the democrats had not funded and developed it.
Anything to steal an election.

government whistleblowers claim the mask mandates are coming back in september and lockdowns in december dont you watch any news

LoL… the fools are already wearing masks! Look around the 3 blue cities filled with sheep in Missouri. I see people wearing masks in STL and KC already. Look at Commiefornia!

why do you care if someone chooses to wear a mask? How does that even effect you?

Affect.

I live to be given the choice. Not having it forced on any of us with democratic or W.H.O. mandates! If you want to wear a mask around your anus… go ahead. Makes no difference to me. I choose NOT to be vaccinated! I chose NOT to wear a mask. if I am sick, I will stay home! Don’t forget to wash your hands!

The WEF is planning on putting vaxx in food, and water.For our safety of course.

T mobile required their employees to get it to keep their jobs. Springfield Mo. how about a fine for them

Thank you for fighting the socialist

Social Security and Medicare are exceptions, of course.

Make sure the GOP does not cave to this insanity! I for one refuse to be manipulated again. It’s all an election ploy cause they know they can’t win!!! Stop the TSA they are already implementing masks in Oct!!! Pure BS

You lie! NO facts to back that lie up! It was fauci that asked for 2 weeks to”stop the spread”. And that was a lie!!! That was the last time Trump listened to fraudci! The school teachers union is who wanted more and caused harm to our kids. Kids under 16 had a .0007 chance of serious illness and NO DEATHS to those that were healthy! GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT Karen! NOW Apologize for the lie!!!

So-called “medical experts” are not elected officials with the right or the responsibility to govern.

Think about that one for just a second.

[….] “Love thy neighbor” involves telling the truth…
The truth is, the vaccine has killed and injured thousands of victims and masks do not stop or slow the spread of COVID.

Thank you!!! I hold you to your word!!!!!!! And yes the word going around is FJB is bringing masks back next month starting with airport personnel. 3 ( new variants) have been created oops discovered. Plus it’s election time know what I mean?

[….]
Our liberties and constitution must never be taken away again. They tried once and lied about efficacy of jabs, that masks work but fraudci couldn’t come up with a study or peer review proving they work .. because they don’t!
They made up DISTANCING, which Birx admitted to in her book and said most things done weren’t based on science. Yet they lied. If people actually bend the knee to this garbage, stay at home if you are afraid. Don’t test to see if you are sick. That’s crazy. Tests were faulty also. They ran them with high cycles that picked up past dead viruses.
Buy some IVERMECTIN and live life.

Do what??
If you believe those numbers, maybe you can do the math as hospitals were paid 44k per ccp19 death. If you died in a car accident it was added. So were heart attacks etc. Oh…and no flu deaths showed up like previous years because they threw those deaths in the pile too. Doctors got paid by big PHARMA depending on how many jabs they gave in their private practices. Pfizer hasn’t been making any money so now we have a new virus [….] variants are normally not as potent and ccp19 had a 99.995% survival rate!!!! Who goes to a drive through to get a free donut and jab?? With 99.995% survival rate???
I know they will say this one is so dangerous … and less of a survival rate to ramp up the fear!

Libtards are gearing up to do it again with the “new strain” of covid supposedly “ripping through the country”… Don’t let these bastards pull their stupid shite again .. All they are good for is tearing down the country every chance they get .. these people are a PLAGUE [….]

I didn’t comply before, I’m sure as heck not going to this time. Scamdemic.

That VIRUS was caused by Fauci and the US government! The NIH delivered the virus to the chinese military. Just like the Tuskegee experiment and at least 13 others… Like giving smallpox to the indians! That is OUR corrupt government at work!!!

Vote in 2024. They probably will.

Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) [2018 file photo].

Today:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Experts have long urged schools to #SafelyReopen for our children, but Dr. Fauci is now moving the goalposts.

With over $60 billion for schools still left unspent from previous COVID relief packages, are we listening to science or politics?

As always, there’s much hilarity in the comments:

I absolutely hate it when science continues to move the goalposts as new data is made available. I want to go back to a time when Earth was the center of the universe and blood letting was a common practice.

Let’s make vaccinating teachers in Missouri a priority. What can you do for 4th District teachers? Step up to the plate and do something.

Unfortunately our esteemed Representative doesn’t really care about this issue. She seems to be completely oblivious to the fact schools in her district have been opened since August.

You are just misinterpreting the guidelines like so many others politicians , the facts are and haven’t changed whether schools can open fully depends on virus spread in the community and the schools ability to meet mitigation requirements.

No, Vicky, science is at work. We on the Left believe in science. We know that as new information is derived via the scientific method, plans change to reflect the new data. Now, PLEASE stop politicizing the pandemic!

Most of the things that need to be done in order to safely reopen could be accomplished, but many of them would take time. You can order PPE and tech quickly, but ventilation and cramped classrooms won’t be solved so fast.

Prioritize vaccinating teachers should be your message. Followed directly by vaccinating library workers. Quit playing political games and get to work to help your state.

Do you have a brain or do you just do what your GQP handlers tell you to do?

We see what you did there.

We listen to facts and science unlike the MO GOP.

You only listen to politics. So I know better than to listen to you.

The Trump Party Doesn’t believe in Science.

Dr. Fauci is an expert. YOU are not. Why are you so surprised goalposts are moving?? Virus with new variants that has the entire world stumped and trying new things. I would be shocked if goalposts were NOT moved. Follow the damn science. Which is why we are in this situation!

Bullshit. He isn’t moving anything. He has ALWAYS said as long as it can be done safely. SCHOOLS NEED THOSE FUNDS TO DO SO. Stop the lying. It’s tired.

What experts? Provide your source?!

Yet, you seem to be completely unaware that most schools in your home district are in fact open. You also don’t seem to care that the teaching and support staffs of those schools continue to show up every day without being vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus.

Was it science or politics that drive your party to consider masks as unconstitutional? Because that line of thinking killed hundreds of thousands of hard working Americans. The @housegop is the party of contradiction, partisanship, and division

You’re an idiot.

We’ll leave it at that.
