Years ago, reading the following letter would have bothered me for days. Now, I’m just grateful the writer has spelled my name correctly. Enjoy.
Republicans are getting the vaccine
In a recent Daily Pilot Mailbag, Denny Freidenrich stated that media sources such as CNN and Forbes have reported a disturbing trend of Republicans being reluctant or unwilling to get vaccinated.
The first problem with this statement is relying on CNN for any factual news today. I can assure Mr. Freidenrich that all my friends, both Republicans and Democrats, have either been vaccinated or are scheduled to be vaccinated. (We don’t need a financial incentive.)
Can we please stop with the division of individuals based on political affiliation or race? The media continues to stoke this dangerous and inflammatory rhetoric, and some people are buying into it. This narrative is not doing any good for anybody! Enough is enough.
