LETTER: Nevada needs to rethink its vaccine policies

Thank you, Michael O. Kreps, (Dec. 25 letter to the editor) for voicing my concerns so well regarding vaccine priorities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that seniors older than 75 be classified in Tier 1B for receipt of the COVID-19 vaccine. This only makes sense because we are the most vulnerable group to succumb to this virus. In addition, we would most likely need hospitalization if we contact this illness. Our hospitals are already on overload. Hospital staff is exhausted and overworked. People needing hospitalization for other conditions don’t know if there will be space or staff to care for them.

Gov. Steve Sisolak should rethink the Tier 3 position he has placed us in. Our place should be Tier 1B as recommended by the CDC advisory panel.

LETTER: Fair share?

Politicians use “the rich” to divert attention from their reckless spending.

LETTER: Donald Trump not fit to be president

His loyalty is to himself and himself alone. He has neither the energy nor the ability to make complex decisions.

LETTER: Henderson City Council and all its pet projects

I do not question the importance of supporting the fire department. But I do question the importance and priority of projects the City Council regularly spends tax dollars on.

LETTER: Has Kamala Harris ever run a business?

Don’t just vote for someone you would invite to dinner. Vote for someone you would want to run your business.

LETTER: Nevada’s shoddy education system

Those thinking about moving here will be thinking how they are going to educate their children. Many will change their minds and look at other options.

LETTER: Does Jacky Rosen favor abortion up until birth?

Since her attack ads, which may or may not be true, on her Republican opponent, Sam Brown, are mainly about his stance on abortion, she should be able to articulate her stance.
