Often when I am asked how reader opinions break down on a given issue pro or con, left or right, angry or pleased people are surprised when I say that they tend to trend in a certain direction over a period of time, and then swing another way. For example, on Jan. 30, two letters were published that called for schools in California to reopen because the preponderance of submissions at the time expressed that view; the following week, readers (many of them teachers) mostly expressed the opposite opinion, and the letters published reflected that.
So it is going now with vaccines. Initially, when the L.A. County ramped up its COVID-19 vaccination effort, the vast majority of letters were from seniors expressing fear and frustration over not being able to schedule an appointment. In the following weeks, the trend shifted more to readers conveying their gratitude to the vaccine site volunteers and staff who helped them get their shots.

To the editor: As a preschool teacher for 40 years, I applaud developmental neuroscientists Emily Cohodes, Sahana Kribakaran and Dylan Gee for their op-ed article on the trauma inflicted on migrant children by the Trump administration, and the need for President-elect Joe Biden to grant them and their families asylum in the United States when he takes office.
I have had to comfort many young children who were the last ones to be picked up from school at the end of the day when their parents were late getting there because of traffic or other problems and these were children who came from stable, secure homes.
