LETTER: Time to mandate the COVID vaccine

People who are not vaccinated against COVID are clogging our health facilities and damaging our economy by scaring away customers. Vaccine incentives are not working. Common sense is not working. A mask mandate would be a Band-Aid at best and punishes those of us who are vaccinated.

It is time for our state government officials to declare the unvaccinated a public health nuisance and mandate shots. If they would require proof of vaccination for major public events; bus, train and air travel; and entry to casinos, the shot-resistant would line up pretty quick.

THE LATEST
LETTER: Sonia Sotomayor, retirement and race

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.
