Ignoring the neediest

As I hear that the supply of vaccines is low and I see the long lines at Wonderland of the Americas, I have to ask the question: Who opened the floodgates that is allowing 30- to 40-year-olds “with hypertension” to get ahead of the 75-year-old grandmother with diabetes living in the same household as her essential worker son and her granddaughter needing to attend school in person?

I fear that we are not serving our high-risk population at all. Why?

Dr. John Menchaca open,” Front page, Tuesday:

The biggest reason for this problem was self-inflicted by local decision-makers. By not requiring and publishing the fact that no proof of underlying health condition is needed, those administering vaccines “take them at their word” and have in effect opened it up to everyone.

San Antonio and Bexar County leadership is responsible for this chaos, and it could have been avoided. More elderly people are likely to die because of this.

Biden won by more than 7 million votes, for an electoral total of 306; and Congress has no constitutional basis to overturn any state’s Electoral College votes.

Even after the riot in which people died, seven senators and more than 100 GOP representatives voted against certifying the vote for Biden — something they knew to be untrue but did for political gain. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who is a lawyer and knows better, went along with U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri.

How can anyone in Texas believe Cruz? He repeatedly uses any leverage for his own gain. He should resign.

Please, Republicans, tell the truth or we’ll all pay the consequences.
