To the editor: The juxtaposition of two articles this week warmed my heart.
In the Dec. 18 paper, there was an article about rich people unsuccessfully trying to bribe their way to an early vaccine. The next day, there was an article about hospital support staff such as room cleaners getting vaccinated.
Apparently, there is some justice in this world.

Deaths are rising among young adults. Parents and others with dependent children should be among the first in line for COVID-19 vaccination. They don’t even seem to be part of the discussion; why is this?
