As an 85-year-old veteran with an 83-year-old wife, living in the Veterans & Pioneers Home located in Palmer, I'm fearful of what's happening with virus protection for the Home's 79 residents. Upon investigation, I've found out that there are 40% of our care workers who have not been vaccinated. My wife, due to her Alzheimer's/dementia disease, is totally dependent on care workers for her survival. As the aggressive delta variant comes into the state of Alaska, and possibly into the Palmer Pioneer Home, I wonder about the protection of our residents. My personal feeling on this sad situation is that vaccinations should have been mandatory for all residents, care workers, nurses, and doctors entering our home. Our lives are extremely important, and to have them virus-threatened by a few who feel the vaccination is unsafe and unnecessary borders on the edge of insanity. Let's all vaccinate and live!!
