To the editor:

Last Friday, July 30, the Sun published a short letter titled, “What about COVID-infected illegal immigrants?” The writer stated, “I’ve been vaccinated. If someone chooses not to, that doesn’t hurt me,” and, “If you’re vaccinated, why should you care if someone is not?”

While I chose to get vaccinated, I bristle at those of you who insist others do something to protect your little self. We all have rights. There are even folks saying damn those who want religious exemptions. This country was founded on freedom of religion.

Perhaps you're not aware of the the study just out this week in Scientific Reports that concluded, "... the vaccine-resistant strain spreads through a population faster at a time when most people are vaccinated," per lead researcher Simon Rella. The CDC also released a study last week showing vaccinated people may transmit the Delta variant just as easily as the unvaccinated. And it's evident that you also didn't see the Cape Cod incident last week of 74% of those infected with covid were fully vaccinated. I hope as more of this information comes out we become more tolerant of one another regardless of our decision to take an experimental injection or not. I personally do not wish to be in a vaccine trial which doesn't end until January 2023. I'll wait, thank you. Some of us wish not to take that risk and it's turning out that we are the wise ones as there doesn't seem to be much if any benefit.
