Letter to the editor: Know the science before offering opinions

Christopher Morelli, you must be a liberal (“No vaccine, no treatment,” Aug. 20, TribLIVE). Your name should go on a list of those who think they are smarter than doctors.

I had covid. I’m also a two-time cancer survivor. When it comes to masks and the vaccine, all of my doctors, including two different oncologists, one of which is at Johns Hopkins, gave me responses from “no” to “absolutely not.”

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. But when you scream “follow the science,” maybe you should actually know what you’re talking about.

Maybe people like you should have their names put on a list of people that spew garbage so they can no longer have their opinions published. If that is the kind of country you want, move. I didn’t spend my career fighting for such foolishness. Short and sweet.
