Chase’s deadly ignorance

Sat., July 24, 2021

In the public debate about the risk/benefit ratio of getting the COVID-19 vaccine, misinformation from people who have no idea what they are talking about is dangerous. (“State Rep. Rob Chase’s anti-vaccine comments removed from Facebook,” July 21)

Rob Chase’s post is, indeed, a “urgent threat” to public health and it is proper to call him out on his BS. When one is as ignorant about a subject as Mr. Chase is about this vaccine, he definitely SHOULD “keep his mouth shut.”
