Dear Editor:

I try hard to restrain myself from responding to Phil Grants letters, but his latest tirade regarding COVID [COVID science? Dec. 9] is over the top insensitive and uninformed. Just this past week, two long-term residents of Milbridge who he knows died of COVID and there have been more than 750,000 others in the country who have died of COVID.

Is Grant implying that unhealthy children who get COVID are expendable when he says that healthy children need not worry? Should we then separate out the overweight kids, the diabetic kids, any kids who dont seem healthy, and just vaccinate them? Does he imply that the cure is better than the prevention? Why bother with preventative measures like vaccines when there is so much science that promises a cure? And if one has had COVID, why bother with vaccines? All of the assumptions are against the science, and although I doubt that he listens to people like Dr Fauci (sadly, likely because Dr. Faucis a Biden man), Grant begins to sound a lot like his mentor Trump. What educated person would want that comparison?

Finally, Grants letter ends with the dreaded s word that being socialism. Republicans love to throw that out as being the most terrible threat of our time. No letter of Grants could be complete without scaring us about socialism creeping in like a thief in the night. I wonder if he receives Social Security, or if he ever has had to worry about paying medical bills.
