We remember reading in the Scripture that the Father has his sun rise on the just and the unjust. The light and warmth emanate immediately and without hesitation over the whole of Creation. This is the model that we need to bear in mind as we consider the dissemination of the two COVID-19 vaccines, even as this pestilence gathers momentum, leaves hundreds of thousands of us dead in its wake and brings to ruin the economic security of millions among us.
To date, the dissemination of the vaccine has been halting, sporadic and ham-handed. The federal government has distributed more than 35 million doses and less than half of those have actually been delivered to patients.
