Letter to the Editor - Its not worth dying for

Editor,

When I was in school, our director of nursing education, who had been in the military service, said that her recurring nightmare was having to do triage. This is the protocol described in the Sept. 20 article “Montana in dire straits as COVID rages,” where it becomes necessary to restrict medical services to those who have the best chance of survival.

Come on people, get vaccinated. As a country we should be better than this. The vaccines have proven to be safe and effective but misinformation travels fast while the meticulous scientific methods are just getting out the gate.

Have a heart! Our medical caregivers are exhausted. I remember harvest time being exhausting. It doesn’t hold a candle to doing isolation techniques. I can’t imagine doing that for 18 months.

My aunt called the people with these stubborn mindsets as knotheads. The inability to change ones mind is not a virtue and its not worth dying for.
