To the editor: It was disturbing to see the image of elders in Encino barbarically made to shiver in the cold while standing in an endless line for hours, maybe to get a COVID-19 vaccine dose. It didn’t look like the tech savvy, swiping, clicking, texting world of the 21st century, but rather a bleak scene out of the Dark Ages, of vulnerable people fighting for their very existence because that‘s exactly what it was.
The geniuses of today’s world who invent all kinds of miraculous ways to improve and simplify our everyday lives cannot come up with a way to get their parents and grandparents vaccinated in a humane and orderly way. This is all about priorities and having a little common sense and compassion to accomplish this attainable goal. Good luck finding that in our new dark age.
