Re: Town of Essex councillor under fire for COVID comment, by Dave Battagello, April 11
The recent eruption of outrage focused on Essex Coun. Chris Vander Doelen following his use of the expression “Chinese flu” was quite astonishing to me.
What has he done? Apparently, he has insulted the billion plus of Chinese people, so he is xenophobic, racist.
So what’s to be done with him? Present him before the integrity commissioner and perhaps cast him out of the realms of Essex town council into outer darkness.
Will the same fate now befall all who speak of the Spanish flu? Or are all who speak of the variant which apparently arose in the U.K. besmirching Britons?
This response to Vander Doelen’s comments is quite extraordinary to me.
