Regarding Gov. Kate Brown’s vaccine decision to continually defer critical distribution to and thereby frankly sacrifice elderly — after she got hers, of course — and despite her own stats that 90-plus percent of the ongoing COVID-19 deaths are in the elderly, ie. 65 or more years old, in many cases the same ages of the parents of those she keep giving preferential treatment to, she needs to hear and hear again and be called to answer the still timely and wise lament of Bob Dylan in his classic, “Blowing in the Wind”:
Yes, and how many deaths will it take ’til she knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind…
Yes, indeed, the number of deaths of those being sacrificed by her totally unvetted agendas will be borne by those so greater at risk bumped by those so much less — my own parents included.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
