Star-Ledger letters to the editor

I found New Jersey Acting Comptroller Kevin Walsh’s report on the Essex County COVID-19 Vaccination Program and the subsequent NJ Advance Media coverage of it (“…County spent COVID funds with little oversight, report finds.”) to be short-sighted and unfair.

It seems they have forgotten all the death and destruction caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many health care workers remain traumatized to this day by the lives lost, children orphaned and families shattered. I personally will not forget the vision of three freezer trucks in the hospital parking lot to accommodate our patients who succumbed to this deadly virus.
