LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Vaccinate selfish people last

Assigning priorities for the initial doses of the COVID-19 vaccine is easy. It is also a no-brainer who should get the vaccine last.

There is no question the first inoculations should go to the wonderful medical personnel and first responders who have been on the front lines for months. The last people to receive the vaccine should be those who refuse to wear masks, wear them incorrectly, or refuse to practice social distancing.

Others in this last group should be people who participate in large gatherings, ignore warnings about traveling during the holidays, spread conspiracy theories about COVID-19, deny that Joe Biden is president-elect and, finally, those who enable the president in trying to overturn the election.
