Dear Editor:
RE: Councillor joins ‘End the Lockdowns Caucus’, Feb. 11.
Realizing Centre Wellington councilor Steve VanLeeuwen is one of many choosing to support this cause it is particularly selfish on his part given that he was elected to support his constituency.
Proof abounds that demonstrates that social distancing, masks and lockdowns work. Those measures are not as effective because anti-maskers and other protestors don’t follow the recommendations.
It is not an infringement of our civil rights but rather a process needed to prevent the virus spread.
It is an infringement of mine and other like minded people’s civil rights by taking this selfish posture, ignoring science and needlessly exposing us to severe illness and potentially death.
Michael Fleming,
