Driven insane

glendaleregstg on September 16, 2021

Dear Editor,
A reckless driver in Clinton Hill killed a three-month-old girl and left her mother critically injured. The car the killer was driving had 160 traffic violations associated with it.
Why was Tyrik Mott still behind the wheel? I am truly appalled and troubled about the many careless drivers out there who just don’t care.
A number of years ago, an 86-year-old neighbor and his dog were killed while crossing the street in Glen Oaks Village.
I’m a senior citizen and often worry about crossing the street. I believe more must be done to punish those who drive carelessly.
Sincerely,
Frederick R. Bedell, Jr.
Bellerose,

What’s the delay?

Dear Editor,
With schools reopening across the country, why is there still no vaccine ready for children ages 5 to 11 years of age? What is the FDA waiting for? It should have been working on this for the last several months.
Our children need to be protected in the classrooms, and time is of the essence. It has been reported that the FDA may have an approved vaccine later this year, why not within the next couple of weeks?
Put the medical pedal to the metal and get this vaccine approved for these kids.
Sincerely,
John Amato
