In the end, nobody can every really force people to comply . . . However, if it's someone that you honestly care about then merely, honestly sharing concern for that person's health shouldn't be a fight or debate but a genuine expression of love . . . Or at least that's how I interpreted my mom screaming expletives down toward the basement during the first round of local vaxx clinics.

"The Biden administration's recent announcement seeking to dictate personal freedom and private business decisions is an insult to our American principles of individual liberty and free enterprise," Missouri Governor Parson tweeted. "This heavy-handed action by the federal government is unwelcome in our state and has potentially dangerous consequences for working families."

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who is running for the U.S. Senate seat in Missouri, tweeted "Missouri has been a national leader in pushing back against the Biden administration and COVID related mandates.
