Push to vaccinate kids disturbing

Dear Editor:
I am disturbed that the CDC has approved the jab for ages 5-11. Why are we willing to put this in the bodies of our young children when very few children in that age group have been affected by it? I heard on the news last night that more kids have died from gunshot wounds this year in Chicago alone than from COVID-19 in the entire US!
We still do not have the whole picture on its long-term affect with adults and especially children.  I can tell you of personal stories whose lives have been altered forever from having the jab! Look up the VAERs report. Over 17,000 deaths have been reported from the jab.  Statistically, only 2.4 percent (I have read even as low as 1 percent!) of adverse reactions to vaccines are reported to VAERS. Two other sites I encourage all of you to look at are vaersanalysis.info and openvaers.com.
Through their analysis, even if ALL adverse cases were reported to VAERS, kids 12 and under are 5 percent more likely to die from the vaccine than COVID-19. Why take the risk? Why mess with their God-given immune systems?
Folks, our emphasis needs to be on eating healthy and taking the supplements which build our natural immune systems. In an honest moment, years ago, I had a local doctor tell me that if everyone was like me and the way I cared for my kids, he said doctors would go broke!

Legionnaires
provide needed service
Dear Editor:
Recently, our grandson visiting from another state, broke his leg on the trampoline. Since it was a buckle fracture the doctor did not need to induce more pain by casting it so recommended that we just keep his weight off of it until the pain receded. To take this active 8-year-old to a wedding, we needed a wheelchair for just a week. The hospital staff called the Legionnaires under the care of Michael Powell’s office. They graciously had a wheelchair waiting for us by the door within minutes. I asked about this service and they said that it is difficult to keep wheelchairs, walkers, commodes, etc. available. Often when they lend them out, if the recipients die, their relatives will unknowingly sell the aides at the estate auction.
I wanted to give a shout out to the value of this service to any family needing short-term use of expensive medical aides. I also urge you to donate extra mobility devices and medical equipment to the Legionnaires. They can be delivered to the office of Powell & Luzum, who graciously provide the storage space and staff help to make this possible. They are located at 1218 L St., on the south side of the square.
Thank you, Legionnaires, for being there in our time of need.
Kathryn Hain,
grateful grandmother,
