I noticed that on the front page of the Thursday, Sept. 9 edition of The Daily World there were two articles of interest.

One was headlined “County employees won’t be required to provide proof of vaccination.”

The three commissioners stated that it was up to a personal choice to get vaccinated or not. There was no mention of encouragement to get the COVID vaccination from any of the commissioners for the general welfare of the county’s population.

The other headlined “Washington COVID hospitalizations rise at a swift pace.”

Our county is in its fifth wave of the COVID virus with infections and hospitalizations at record numbers with less than a 50 percent vaccination rate and our commissioners are not helping with these opinions.

The COVID virus does not care what your political leanings are.

Speak up to help protect all of our population.
