LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Vexed by public health question

The adjective “inane” basically means “silly” or “stupid.” Used in a sentence, one can refer to the statement of Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., during an interview April 23, with a conservative radio host when he said:

“What is the point, if the science tells us the vaccines are 95% effective? If you have a vaccine, quite honestly, what do you care if your neighbor has one or not?

“What is it to you? So why this big push to make sure everybody gets a vaccine?”

Well, Senator, simply put, so that you will comprehend: If you ask such a question, you would never understand the answer.
