Debra J. Saunders’ “reasoning” is so tortuous and her rhetoric so demagogic that I read only about one in 20 of her columns. On the few occasions her arguments are intelligible, her demagoguery is so blatant that I can’t finish her column.
Her column on Monday (“Plea to patriotism unfairly maligns unvaccinated,” The Herald, Dec. 27) takes shots at President Biden for policies that conflict with the October 2020 Great Barrington Declaration, a policy statement signed by a cadre of medical professionals based on a pre-vaccination covid environment which “called for a return to normal.” I can hardly go on. Apparently she can’t perceive the difference between fighting a pandemic with effective vaccines and fighting it without vaccines, or that returning to normal requires more than clicking ruby slippers together.
Please, dear editor, devote the column inches wasted by Saunders’ vacuous ramblings with somebody, left or right, who is thoughtful and articulate. Thank you.
