LETTER: Applauds Berry

I appreciated the PDN coverage of the protests surrounding Dr. Allison Berry’s recent mandate.

As a responsible proponent of health-related community issues for years, she has been a tireless worker in her field.

She deserves the Citizen of the Year award, not the complaints and harassment from a group of complainers ignoring the measures necessary for protection of our society.

As a pediatrician, I have been sickened by the appearance of children of all ages attending these protests, knowing that it will contribute to confusion in their social and school lives when presented with reliable information. What a travesty.

I would appreciate it if those who know of any person, such those pictured in the PDN, to please make an attempt to convince them that they are inviting more illness and death to a community already suffering from the COVID-19 disaster.
