I'm incredibly grateful that educators, child care workers, grocery workers and other essential employees will be able to get the vaccine starting in just over a week. Thank you to the state and county of public health and all the myriad agencies and pharmaceuticals that have made this happen. It can't come soon enough! To me, this signals the beginning of the end. The virus will probably always be around, but hopefully not sicken and kill hundreds of thousands of people anymore. Take the short when it's your turn!

The head of the teachers' union at Portola Valley Schools is the one teacher who refused to teach online in the spring because apparently it wasn't in his contract to do so. He is not a person who is concerned about the best interest of the children whatsoever. They should find a better spokesperson as he is considered one of the teachers in the district one should avoid at all costs. The teachers may very well have legitimate concerns but when they are voiced by Dr. Davenport, it does everyone a disservice.
