‘Dangerous’

Dear Editor:

Kudos to Chris Daponte, Dave Adsett and the always positive Kelly Waterhouse for essentially pointing out the same thing: we should not get angry with one another because everyone’s disgusted with COVID-19 overwhelming our lives.

But what can be done to convince  elected officials (people who are making decisions about how to spend our money) that their uninformed/misinformed attitudes towards the pandemic are not only incorrect but downright dangerous? Voicing and spreading so many outrageously wrong ideas is tantamount to encouraging life-threatening behaviours.

Anti-vaxxers are also dangerous.   They talk about their freedoms but they’re decidedly curtailing mine and that of hundreds of thousands of others. How can we convince them to simply go home, shut up and stay home until COVID-19 goes away?

All ideas welcomed!

Helen Marucci, Fergus
