To the editor:

As a pulmonologist and critical care specialist, readers can imagine I’ve seen my fair share of COVID-19 infections. During the pandemic, our country suffered well over 1 million confirmed COVID-19 deaths — the most of any country. States with lower vaccination rates bore the highest per capita COVID-19 deaths.
