Credit ‘Trump vaccine’ for saving lives

- — Barry Johnson, Chico

The First Amendment of the Constituti­on specifical­ly tells us we can peaceably assemble wherever we want, with whoever we want, with no time limit.

Leftists love the First Amendment when it allows them to put a crucifix of Christ into a jar of urine, and call it artwork. Are they familiar with the entire First Amendment? Perhaps they think the Constituti­on only applies when it allows them to degrade society. Instead, they wish to exert control over small businesses, our interactio­ns with our families, and derail people’s earnings. Because “essential” to you and your family means nothing to Leftists who want to decide whose income is actually essential.

You see, if Democrats in power want to eat indoors with a lobbyist at the most expensive Napa restaurant, or go to an otherwise closed hair salon, or travel by airline to a different state moments after signing a Stay Home order, then with Democrat logic, it’s OK. For them; not you.

Being sick with COVID is no joke. It can be a miserable, nasty, even fatal bug.

So if crushing your ability to gather with friends saved lives, it’d be worth it, right?

In Florida, DisneyWorl­d (and other gathering places) re- opened July. In California, Disneyland has been closed since March. So California must be much safer, right?

We aren’t. We have lockdowns, and very little to show for it. Virtually no statistica­l difference from elderly Florida.

Our current case surge will be defeated by the Trump vaccine; not the Newsom job-killing.
