To the editor:

The conservative Boston/New York syndicated talk show host, Gene Burns, used to say, "Your right to swing your arms stops at the end of my nose." The refusal of many conservatives to get a COVID-19 preventing vaccination against the rising Delta strain is resulting in them being infected, and being a vector infecting others. If schools and industry have to shut down again in the fall, widespread economic damage will be catastrophic.

I feel the same about those 1 in 3 Americans who are morbidly obese. They are selfish, sucking up the healthcare in heart disease and diabetes. I feel the same about drug abusers. We should deny them care. They are making bad choices. Same with alcoholics. Bad choices. We should punish people who you don't agree with, right?
