That letter is not sufficient, in my opinion.
Instead of offering $20 gift cards and having contests vs Central for bragging rights, the greatest incentive Martin can create for people to actually get the shot is to mandate a vaccination requirement for all A&T football games.

Before reading it, that's exactly what I thought would've been included in it.

Take the shot for society and the world
By Veita Bland, M.D. / August 6, 2021The pandemic is living up to its name. A pandemic is an epidemic of an infectious disease that has spread across a large region of multiple continents or worldwide affecting a substantial number of people. There have been more than 600,000 deaths in this country and millions worldwide. Millions of lives have been forever altered by this virus which renders many people infected with ailments such as shortness of breath and fatigue- issues they may experience for a long time. Our job is to control the virus causing the pandemic with mitigation using vaccines and public health strategies. The virus causing a pandemic knows no names. In this case, COVID-19 does not know your address, your bank account or lifestyle. It does know how to take advantage of those who are unable to protect themselves. It will also take advantage of those that choose not to avail themselves of the strategies of mitigation. To those who do not have the ability to take care of themselves, society has a responsibility to protect everyone. The coronavirus knows how to change its face or mutate so that it is even more infectious than before. Individuals who remain unvaccinated, regardless of the reason, are at highest risk for contracting COVID and its variants. Our society is now in a struggle between the rights of individuals to decide if they want to take the vaccine versus the rights of all mankind to be protected. More businesses, government and academic institutions are mandating that their workers/ students be vaccinated. Hospitals, medical groups and other agencies are requiring everyone to be immunized in order to protect our society as a whole. Ultimately, the rights of society will outweigh individual choice because we are in a life and death situation. COVID is nothing to play with and must be taken seriously.

The university system has mandated vaccinations or frequent testing in order to enroll at any school in the system.

I think ego is prolonging this pandemic more than anything.
Seemingly educated people like lobengula probably realize that their initial fears about this vaccine were misguided, but because they took such a hardline stance against it in the beginning they just continue to double down now and refuse to take it.
I am not sure how you can reason with folks with that kind of mindset.

Yeah. The councilpersons and the commissioners read the writing on the hospital walls and gave in. However, Skip had already mandated masks for the school system. The chancellor, knew it was coming statewide, but was waiting for the state rulers to stop their poisonous viper dance and make an intelligent decision.

Self-care is vital as COVID-19 Delta resurges
By Veita Bland, M.D. / August 13, 2021Here we go again. Can you really believe it? The COVID-19 Delta variant is nowhere near being finished with us. Everyone must continue to mask up, socially distance and wash hands. Some people never allowed their guards to fall and have remained poised and ready to go to war on the virus. Others tasted the sweet drops of freedom and savored it. While others remain defiant and don’t believe this virus is as deadly as has been reported. The non-believers have refused to mask up, remain unvaccinated and put all of our progress at risk by continually spreading the COVID Delta variant. The toll on the mind and body has been immense. During times like these, self-care is quite important. Now when you hear the term self-care, don’t simply assume I am speaking of getting manicures, pedicures, facials and other pampering events. Those are indeed part of it but I want you to go a little deeper and look at several other areas. Here are some self-care principles I would like to suggest. First, there is physical self-care. Here you must start to value the body your life resides in. The goal is to manage the stresses of life and promote your well-being. This is not a selfish act. It is a selfless act that allows you to be the best you can be. Second, Exercise on a regular basis is a very important. Try something as simple as walking, jumping rope, a class on tape or online. These activities can be fitted into every schedule when they are important to you. Yes, it would be good to really exert some energy and build up a good sweat doing an activity, Remember, it is the regularity of exercise for health that is important. No doubt, you realize that the nutrition or fuel you place in your body is important. Consuming healthy foods is key to a healthy mind, body and spirit. With this third principle, it is important to minimize your consumption of processed, sugary and fried foods. Seek foods that are as close to farm raised as possible.
