Editor: Regarding “Sleazy Move” (Mailbox, March 13), the editor wrote, “On the subject of McCullough’s credentials, it should be noted that the American Board of Internal Medicine recently revoked his board certifications in cardiovascular disease and internal medicine after determining he was providing false or inaccurate medical information to the public.” Let me add my […]

Sunshine, If We Can Keep It
We in Humboldt County know better than most that sunshine isn’t a thing to be taken for granted. As Sunshine Week — an annual March celebration of the importance of government transparency — comes to a close, we want to add our voice to the chorus that has spent the week championing the principles of […]

‘We Need the Maximum’
Editor: The ever informative Barry Evans described last week the threat from the collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC (“AMOC and the Inevitable Climate Threat,” Feb. 20). It is only one of a number of climate tipping points, but it is likely to be highly consequential (or even “devastating”) for the United States […]

‘For Better Bus Service’
Editor: Believe it or not, I also have an opinion on how Measure O funds should be used, but my opinion is somewhat different from Chad Sefcik’s (Mailbox, Feb. 27). One bus tears up our roads much less than 20 trucks, SUVs or heavy cars. One bus provides less traffic congestion. So, my opinion is […]

‘Congratulations’
Editor: Congratulations to NCJ news editor Thadeus Greenson on his Humboldt Journalism Project award for investigative journalism. Thadeus isn’t good by Humboldt standards, he’s just plain good. John Dillon, Eureka

‘Never Been So Ashamed’
Editor: After watching the debacle at the White House, I have never been so ashamed of my government in all my 89 years! Two bullies, President Trump and Vice President Vance, attacking a visiting head of state at a press conference. Dictator Putin invaded a sovereign nation not once but twice. Putin should have no […]

‘Not About Politics’
Editor: I am disappointed in our education system that has let this person down so badly (Mailbox, Feb. 27). If we cannot trust our scientists and medics who have spent their lives learning, thinking and developing proven therapies for human ailments, then we can trust no one. Yet there are some who may have never […]

‘Sleazy Move’
Editor: What a sleazy move, NCJ! When I read my letter, as you printed it, (Mailbox, Feb. 27), I noticed that the editor removed an important piece of information. I recommended the book: The Courage to Face COVID-19: preventing hospitalization and death while battling the bio-pharmaceutical complex by Peter McCullough MD, MPH and John Leake. However, […]

A GOP FAQ
Well, it’s been a wild couple of weeks, and we’ve been hearing from more traditional party members having trouble keeping up with a platform that shifts like a drunk carnie is pulling levers on the ride. After all, not all of us came up listening to this generation’s hateful right-wing podcasts; some of us listened […]

‘Ought to be Criminal’
Editor: Regarding Thadeus Greenson’s coverage of the St. Joseph abortion case (“Judge Takes St. Joseph Abortion Case Under Submission,” Feb. 20), it seems to me that it is a mistake to call a hospital a “religious hospital” unless it is dispensing religion. Any physician feeling his or her soul is endangered could call in another […]

‘Transit Funding is Essential’
Editor: Dear Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, relevant decision-makers and concerned community members: This letter is in support of using Measure O funding for transit and related services, per the measure language/agreement (Mailbox, Feb. 27). There is the unfortunate misconception by some that a robust transit system would not be useful for Humboldt County. This […]

‘The Scourge’
Editor: So, it turns out that the scourge of cats killing wildlife might now be as bad for cats as it is for wildlife. According to Tanya Schrum’s article in last week’s NCJ, “cats appear to be the first extra-host to suffer the most significant mortality” from avian influenza (grammatically nonsensical, but it sounds scary). Will […]
