No More Hand-Wringing
RECEIVED Thu., May 6, 2021
Dear Editor,
Texas is one of the states with the poorest COVID-19 vaccination rates. There is much consternation about conservatives, mostly men, who refuse to be vaccinated. I don’t share in the hand-wringing. First, this resistance is simply Darwinism in action. Nature is weeding out those too stupid to protect themselves. Secondly, I suspect that most of these people are Trump supporters influenced by his consistent belittling of the pandemic threat. Their hero is a fascist would-be autocrat who tried to overthrow our democratic system in a desperate attempt to retain the office he legitimately lost. His followers are unpatriotic and un-American. The more of them who are permanently erased from the voter roles by this virus, the better off our country will be. I just hope we can achieve herd immunity without them.
