LETTER: Unvaccinated cops, health care workers endanger those they’re supposed to protect

Is there any chance you could inquire of those in the local police department and/or public health workers how, if some of their members are unvaccinated, those members are supposed to interact with members of the public, many of whom have health problems or are elderly? How does an unvaccinated officer, who may be contagious even if he is asymptomatic, protect such a person? The same question applies to unvaccinated health care workers.

Perhaps one of those unvaccinated in these two groups, or a representative of their group, could explain how that is supposed to work? Or does their freedom and body autonomy take precedence over the health and lives of those whom they are paid to “help”?

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.

LETTER: Clark County cracks down on street vendors

A lot of us walk or jog in the summer nights when it cools down. The juice vendor was a wonderful break before starting the return half of our exercise. Alas, never more.
