LETTER: Ask the military to help with vaccine rollout

As we anticipate our recovery from the pandemic, we are now seeing the vaccine distribution process is not as robust as anticipated even though there are several viable vaccines available. The Review-Journal reported on Saturday that Nevada ranks 44th in the country in terms of vaccinations rates. This approach is not sustainable on our road to recovery.

We have the most sophisticated military in the world. Should it not be tasked with overseeing the mass distribution of the vaccines? The military has the proven ability to deploy and lead with world-class precision and to activate this undertaking.

Why are they not being deployed in this time of national crisis? For Las Vegas, we have the resources and facilities (Las Vegas Convention Center, Allegiant Stadium), along with a 24-hour city, to vastly improve vaccination rates.

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.

A lot of us walk or jog in the summer nights when it cools down. The juice vendor was a wonderful break before starting the return half of our exercise. Alas, never more.
