Get Vaccinated

To The Editor:

The rest of the world, who will stand in line for days to take advantage of scarce supplies of the vaccine, cannot comprehend, from both a moral and medical science standpoint, why almost 1/3 of Americans, who have the best hospitals and doctors on the planet, still refuse to wear a mask or to simply walk into a pharmacy for a free vaccine.

It is the unvaccinated who will be responsible for COVID-19 mutating to the point that the vaccines that will soon be available to safely protect our little kids from COVID-19 may no longer be effective.

If you or your children, ages five and above, are not vaccinated, then please vaccinate now out of basic Christian and human respect for the lives and livelihoods of your fellow human beings, especially our children.

Note the report by the Texas Department of Health regarding COVID-19 vaccinations:

The unvaccinated are 13 times more likely to contract COVID-19 than the vaccinated.

The unvaccinated are 20 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than the vaccinated.
