Shel Horowitz: Personal choices in Hadley
Published: 5/17/2021 2:58:29 PM
A recent Gazette article quotes Hadley’s new vaccine non-requirements (“Select Board creates new vaccine policy,” May 14) as “a personal choice.” Let’s be consistent here!
Is it a “personal choice” of town employees to put themselves in harm’s way because they are forced to be in indoor spaces with non-vaccinated residents? No. But it is a personal choice not to be vaccinated and thus to close yourself off to attending events that require vaccination (or medical exemption).
And is it a “personal choice” to be subject to pesticide toxins if the town doesn’t proactively opt out of the state mosquito pesticide spraying program, as they must do by May 28? (There’s a Zoom meeting on this from 6:30 to 7 on Wednesday.)
