To the editor: There’s plenty of good news about the vaccine rollout resulting in declining deaths and hospitalizations, but it is a two-edged sword. Now, those who are opposed to or still on the fence about COVID-19 vaccination have an excuse to continue to avoid getting their shots. (“California has given 30 million COVID-19 vaccinations, but demand may be dropping,” April 30)
Instead of reporting mostly the good news about vaccines, the media should prominently report how many of those who are still dying or becoming seriously ill from COVID-19 are unvaccinated.
Those who have been vaccinated become more resistant to infection, stay out of the hospital and do not face the dire prospect of death or serious illness caused by the virus. Repeat and report this over and over again, and perhaps those who have not yet been vaccinated will get the message.
