Dear Editor:

It is most unfortunate that the bureaucrats that are running our response to COVID-19 decided to halt the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine because of six cases of a rare blood clot in the brain that might be linked to the vaccine. There were six cases out of nearly seven million doses of the vaccine. The blood clot rate is actually lower than the known rate in the general population. Recall that prior to Election Day last year, Democratic pols including Biden, Harris

Dear Editor:

Who wants to spend the money and time to travel back and forth and pay for something you should be able to get at your local train station? I realize a cut back for services because of COVID may have been necessary but not any longer for seniors!

It's unfortunate that so many people from Rockaway choose to politicize mask wearing.  It has really soured me to going out enjoying the boardwalk when no one wears masks and absolutely no signage acknowledging we are in a pandemic. I visited Bethany Beach, Delaware and signs all over. Rockaway should follow suit.

Dear Editor:

I was dismayed if not surprised to see your pages (Ask The Doc, 4/1/2021) advocating for the debunked wackadoodle science of the Great Barrington Declaration, which advocated for a “herd immunity” solution to COVID-19 rather than any measures that might actually save people’s lives. It might be relevant to let your readers know that the Declaration was funded by a Charles Koch-backed think tank network that’s also behind other bold scientific research such as “climate change isn’t
