To the Editor: The April 5, 2021 edition of the Record reports that to date less than 31% of the people of Fayette County have received at least one of the two required doses of the presently available COVID-19 vaccines. Now that the vaccine has been made available to all adults of all ages, when will our local and state Republican Party leadership start to publicly and repeatedly encourage all of the people of Fayette County and the State of Texas to take these free vaccines and make them available at such places as the regional hub at the Washington County Fair Grounds in Brenham where the process is handled in a very safe and efficient and responsible and courteous manner by our Texas National Guard? In an open letter in the Record to our GOP Congressman Michael McCaul, I called upon him in March of last year to provide truly effective N-95 masks for every American under the National Defense Production Act which would have saved both lives and livelihoods and he, like Trump, did little or nothing to do so.
