Letter: Unvaccinated should stay home

By Lin Cochran, Vancouver
Published: August 2, 2021, 6:00am

OK, I have had it! I am a senior citizen living alone. I have done my part by spending the last year-plus doing what has been most helpful in this pandemic: fully masking up, getting both shots as soon as they were available, staying in my apartment alone. Now I could finally go out, see people, eat in a restaurant, only to have all this taken away because of people who are too afraid or stupid to get the shots that would make us all safe.

I agree with President Macron of France that the people who refuse to get themselves vaccinated should be staying home while the rest of us go out and enjoy life. Viva la France et USA.
