Editorial: The bill comes due for vaccine denialism

Editorial: The bill comes due for vaccine denialism

  • By the Post-Dispatch Editorial Board

Editorial: Many have warned that politically driven distrust of COVID vaccines would spread to vaccination generally, allowing the revival of measles and other defeated diseases. And here we are.

America was much more of a mess at the bicentennial than today | Jonah Goldberg

America was much more of a mess at the bicentennial than today | Jonah Goldberg

    As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, America is in a foul mood, and I understand why. For starters, Washington is broken, prices are high and rising, and artificial intelligence is scaring the stuffing out of people.

      Opinion: ×îÐÂÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ should put public safety ahead of pit bull rights

      • By Collin Preciado

      Last week, ×îÐÂÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ rockstar turned restaurateur Steve Ewing had a truly horrible few days. In addition to the windows of his restaurant being smashed in two nights in a row, his wife and dog were attacked in Tower Grove Park, with his dog losing its life as a result of its injuries.

          Editorial: Helping Sen. Hawley with the facts about the SAVE Act

          • By the Post-Dispatch Editorial Board

          Editorial: SAVE’s sticking point, as Hawley surely knows, was the proof-of-citizenship requirement, which was a cynical solution in search of a problem.

          Letter: Missouri tax swap would be a gift to the rich at everyone's expense

          • Jun 9, 2026

          Regarding "Missouri appeals court keeps tax overhaul on Aug. 4 ballot with revised summary" (June 5): It would be colossal mistake for Missouri taxpayers to vote to replace the state income tax with increased sales taxes and fees.

          Letter: Op-ed extolling supposed virtues of AI was one-sided gaslighting

          • Jun 9, 2026

          Regarding the op-ed "Real-world benefits of AI are getting lost in fearmongering" (June 4 print edition): What a poorly written defense of artificial intelligence! One-sided and weakly sourced, the authors give us gaslighting reasons why we should be in favor of AI.

          Letter: Police raises should focus on rank-and-file officers, not supervisors

          • Jun 7, 2026

          Regarding "×îÐÂÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ police board to consider raises as high as 22% for top brass" (June 2): The Board of Police Commissioners' proposed pay raise for supervisors is all wrong. They need to turn their chart around and give the police officers higher raises.

          Letter: US failure to fight the Ebola outbreak in Africa risks bringing it here

          • Jun 7, 2026

          A rare strain of Ebola is quickly and devastatingly spreading through war-torn provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Bundibugyo strain has no known treatment or vaccine to deal with the virus. Ebola circulated for weeks without detection, and is spreading south towards the v…

          Letter: Past US military heroism makes a mockery of senseless war in Iran

          • Jun 7, 2026

          My husband and I spent a recent week immersed in military memories and stories, tuning into one Turner Classic Movie after another — all films focused on wartime experiences, both fictional and historical.

          Opinion: Remembering the unsung heroes who helped make D-Day happen

          As we honor the soldiers of the D-Day invasion of World War II (82 years ago this weekend), let’s also recognize some behind-the-scenes heroics. A great example is the new movie "Pressure," which tells of the meteorologists whose weather forecasting was crucial in deciding when to launch the…
