'Dear Dad, It's Just A Pinch' — Readers Share Letters Inspired By Vaccine Hesitancy
Here are 3 letters from our reader callout: one to a hesitant dad, one to thank a dad who got his jab after many cancellations and one to all vaccine-hesitant folks after an uncle died from COVID.
In a letter we shared last week, Baltimore-based doctor Edward Kenyi appealed to his mother, who lives in South Sudan, to get a COVID-19 vaccine. He pleaded with her to take COVID seriously and trust her son over the "rumors and stories from WhatsApp group messages" that spread false information about microchips and infertility related to vaccination.
We asked our readers to share letters they've written about vaccines to a family member or loved one. Here are three submissions that are especially poignant: a daughter urging her diabetic father to trust modern science, a woman reflecting on the moment her dear uncle became a COVID statistic, and a son thanking his father for finally getting the vaccine after cancelling many, many times.
