Headline was irresponsible
I realize it is still imperative to continue to follow public health guidelines even after being fully vaccinated, however featuring a headline Fully vaccinated person dies of COVID-19 is irresponsible journalism! People are not feeling invincible, they are feeling hopeful for the first time in over a year. This type of headline could easily discourage a person who may have been wary of the vaccine in the first place to now back away from this wonderful opportunity.
My 92-year-old mother, is fully vaccinated, optimistic about the future and subscribes to The Spectator was also appalled at this headline. Surely there is a better way to encourage continued safe behaviour post-vaccine without alarming the public in this way.
Canadians should be feeling proud of themselves for the high numbers of vaccinated citizens across the country, not scared to death by a depressing headline on the front page!
Sensational headline rained on our parade
Today I open my Hamilton Spectator and see the front page headline: Fully vaccinated person dies of COVID-19. Tragic yes, but so unnecessary to flaunt this news when if you read on, article states it wasnt clear if the individual died from COVID, or had underlying health concerns or contracted the infection within two weeks of the vaccination, when a person hasnt reached maximum protection. Before you showcase such news, remember there are people out there who do not believe in the vaccine and this front page headline will only reinforce their misconceptions.
We are on our way in beating this formidable enemy, so dont rain on the parade.
Headline generates fear and anxiety
How utterly irresponsible of The Hamilton Spectator to publish a front-page article headlined Fully vaccinated person dies of COVID-19 when the information within the article clearly states, Its not clear if the individual died from COVID-19 or other underlying health conditions or if the infection occurred within two weeks of the vaccination, when a person still hasnt reached maximum protection.
In a time when many people are hesitant to get the COVID-19 vaccination, this type of sensationalized headline does nothing more than generate unnecessary fear and anxiety and serves no one well.

Headline will increase vaccine hesitancy
Many people are still fearful of getting their COVID-19 vaccinations. Misleading headlines like Mondays do not help. Fully vaccinated person dies of COVID-19 should have been Fully vaccinated person with COVID-19 dies, as the article states: Its not clear if the individual died from COVID or other underlying health conditions or if the infection occurred within two weeks of the vaccination
As a nurse vaccinator at a clinic, the subtle change in the lead headline would have been factually based on the truth.
Story didnt need to be on front page
I have to wonder about the smarts of whoever decides what goes on the front page.
To blare the headline about a fully vaccinated person dying of COVID-19 is irresponsible. A great way to encourage others to get vaccinated not! That report could easily have been put further back in the paper. It sure makes me think twice about how valuable our Spectator is.
Christine McLeod, Hamilton
(Editors Note: We sincerely regret this error and apologize. In fact, the person died with COVID-19 but it is not clear whether their death was caused by the virus.)
Three ministers need replacement
It is time for the prime minister to clean out the deadwood in his Cabinet. Three ministers, in particular, have passed their best before date: Blair, Bennett, and Sajjan. These three ministers have shown themselves incapable or unfit. Will a summer cabinet shuffle be the final move before an election call?
Blame the Liberals not Ford
Its odd to hear Ted McMeekin try to pin growth plan options on Doug Fords government, when it was his former governments Places to Grow Policy that put the Elfrida Boundary Expansion into the mix, as far back as 2010; when we all learned that a 60 per cent intensification target would still mean we would be adding population into less dense areas.
His last government was a majority, he had the ability to be as bold as needed. Who should we blame again?

Bernardo needs advice from Rallo
So multi-murderer Paul Bernardo has again been denied parole. Perhaps he should call up Jon Rallo for advice! Bernardo was convicted of multiple murders, admits to his crimes but release stating he is no longer a threat. Jon Rallo was convicted of murdering his wife and children, denies his guilt and still refuses to reveal what he did with his little boys body. Rallo pleaded to the Parole Board that After 35 years, Im just tired of banging my head against the wall. No confession, no closure for the Family, but the Parole Board released him anyway. Well, good to know Bernardo is staying put, but it is sick that Rallo walks free while the body of his murdered child rots in some hidden location.
