Those claiming to be Christian and seeking religious exemption from vaccination (Digested week: which Squid Game are you on, my six-year-old asks, 8 October) should be asked: “What would Jesus do?” Since one of the few direct commandments he gave was “love your neighbour” and we know that being vaccinated will help to protect those around you, I think the answer is clear: “Get vaccinated!”

Andrew Pollard confirms that refusing a Covid booster jab is just a waste of a dose (Individuals cannot solve vaccine inequality. If you’re offered a booster, take it, 12 October). But it still seems a global injustice. So as a group of friends meeting to celebrate a 70th birthday, we decided to take our jabs and contribute to Vaccinaid, which helps to deliver the Covax programme.

As an 82-year-old reader, I am grateful to learn of the Nancy Pearl system (Letters, 14 October) and I have now put a question mark at the bottom of page 18 in the books on my to-read pile, but I am now worried about those who are now aged 100 or more. Are they able to start books?

Three cheers for the return of two pages of letters! Surely this will result in fewer of my letters being consigned to the Guardian bin?

No Maria (Blondie’s 20 greatest songs – ranked!, 14 October)? You can’t be serious.
