and had a rough time with it. Good for him

to see the 'light' and recognize how serious this disease is. In a way, while I don't wish bad on people, but this is a good thing for him and his wife to suffer and actually see how serious this disease is, and thus, treat it with the respect it deserves. Our medical people have been saying all along how serious this disease is.

Kind of like people that have back injuries, you don't really recognize how serious a back injury can be unless you suffered a like injury too.

Covid last October and to hear them talk they had mild symptoms. I think he’s doing this to keep money coming for national guard in case we have protesters this summer as well as federal funding for Covid response. Now if our stupid legislators would fund Medicaid expansion. Even though we voted to expand it I believe in 2019, they refuse to fund it. They are also trying to overturn the vote to expand it. Sorry, but I don’t trust most of what he does.

... get his people to the vaccination locations.

in the county, and in one case I heard, some friends of mine drove all of the way to Sedalia, MO (from STLMO) to receive their Covid shots, a roughly 3 hour trip! And I just looked again, they do say Covid shots are still very limited and the shots are still not readily available in the STL MO city area...my other half and I don't feel like driving all of the way to Sedalia of all places. Our best bet is to wait until his work place offers the vaccines to its workers (and see if they'll also do family members) or wait until my pharmacy gets the shots (Walgreen's).

At least my friends in the health field (STLMO has 10s of thousands of health workers, w/ the sheer number of medical schools, hospital complexes, etc.) in the city have got their shots, they deserve the shots far more than I, and I'm willing to wait until those on the front lines have gotten their shots.
