To the editor:
I find it the height of obscenity that Vice President Mike Pence and Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell were among the first Americans to receive a COVID-19 vaccine when they have all but ignored the pandemic for the last 10 months.
They fiddled while we burned. They allowed millions to fall ill and thousands to die, as those who wore masks and followed the safety guidelines were ridiculed by their supporters. Their arrogance and lack of leadership have caused way too many unnecessary deaths.
And now, they are among the first to be vaccinated. They should have been put at the back of the line.

Note from KBJ: You are out of your fucking mind, Martin. Mike Pence devoted every minute of every day for months on end to working on the pandemic. He led the task force, for God's sake! How could you not know this? Are you stupid? Evil? Both?
