To the Editor:

Dr. Gib Morrow's guest column in the Kitsap Sun, Vaccines Present a Community Challenge gives a new meaning to "a call to arms." Few people give much thought to the massive undertaking required to deliver the Covid-19 vaccine to states and localities and overseeing their injection directly into people's arms.  

The general public may not know that prior to the distribution of the Covid-19 vaccine to their locality, vaccine administers must enroll in our state's provider program. They must sign and agree to conditions of participating in order to receive any Covid-19 vaccine. The U.S. has experience with mass vaccine distribution, but delivering Covid-19 vaccines is at a much greater scale than past efforts.

Seattleites have been mourning the loss of "Fabulous Bob" Newman who partnered with J. P. Patches, self-styled "Mayor of the City Dump." The two clowns starred in the longest-running, locally-produced children's TV show not just in this town, but in the world.

Newman, who played "Gertrude" as well as 16 other personalities, died Dec. 13 at 88. He outlived Chris Wedes, who passed away in 2012. Wedes had created the J.P. Patches show and starred as the beloved clown.

For the past decade, Bob Newman had been in assisted living with progressive multiple sclerosis. But he never lost contact with fans, thanks to Sherianne Sam Molzahn Caldwell and Jeff Swanson. The two Patches Pals visited often and posted pictures on Facebook of Bob's contagious grin and his ketchup collection.

In any negotiation or venture you normally weigh the risks and benefits. From getting married, to buying a car, to having a medical procedure done, there are things that can go wrong. A downside. 

But in Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the election he can see no downside, because for him, there isn’t one. At least not as far as making the effort. No charges will be filed, no monetary penalties will be levied. That’s true for Ted Cruz and Ron Johnson as well. Lodging serious charges of fraud ought to carry some downside for those making the charge if they are proven wrong. But in this case they don’t. They won’t lose any money, they won’t face a perilous political future, they won’t be charged with libel or slander. In short, why not? The upside is huge. He stays in office.
