You stated that Hamilton Public Health supplied your\nbusiness with a letter which advised that \u2018all people should be masked at all\ntimes inside all businesses\u2019. (As an aside: It would certainly be interesting\nto see how that advisory would be applied at restaurants). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had\nsince been in direct phone contact with Hamilton Public Health regarding the\nletter which you told me had been issued. The employee at Hamilton Public\nHealth read the letter to me. She stated that the \u2018all people be masked at all\ntimes inside all businesses\u2019 portion was a <em>recommendation<\/em>\u2026\n<strong>not<\/strong> a <em>requirement<\/em>. That is a significant distinction, George. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore,\nplease refer to the enclosed World Health Organization (WHO) advisory regarding\nface coverings; notably, the highlighted portion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\nalso freely access many other sources of similar health warnings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You had\nadditionally told me during our phone conversation that although you agreed\nwith me about the risks involved with mask-wearing during physical activity,\nyou wanted to \u201ckeep your business open\u201d and \u201ckeep your staff in their jobs\u201d. So\nyou have imposed this draconian \u2018masking at ALL times\u2019 as the absolute rule\nwithin your facility; irrespective of the clearly-delineated health risks by\nempirical sources (including the WHO, as per the enclosed), which demonstrates\nthat the health of your members is of no consequence to you. And no, the\nmaintaining of good health is about far more than merely avoiding Covid-19;\nwhich has a 99.3% recovery rate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared\nto Covid-19, your members are far more likely to experience considerable damage\nto their health while being deprived of oxygen, repeatedly inhaling their own\ncarbon dioxide, and the breath vapours + bacteria forming on their face\ncovering during physical activity; especially during cardiovascular exercise. I\nfelt unwell with a very hoarse throat, dizziness and lightheadedness for days\nafter trying to adhere to the vicious, relentless demands of your staff that my\nmouth &amp; nose be completely covered 100% of the time no matter what while\nworking out at your facility on November 5, 2020. But evidently, a member\u2019s (or\nperhaps just \u2018my\u2019) physical suffering is of no consequence to you or the staff\nworking at your facility that evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have\nbeen a member of your gym for more than 3 years. The snotty, condescending attitude\nof some of your employees and the increasingly reduced, inconvenient hours have\nbeen discouraging. But the wide variety of equipment there to exercise all\nmuscle groups has been the main motivation for continuing my membership, and\nset it apart from other gyms. That said however, it certainly seems that your\nbusiness model places a far greater priority upon virtue-signalling\nauthoritarianism rather than reducing obvious health risks of your members\n&amp; staff alike; or even adhering to the clearly stated by-law outlined by\nthe City of Hamilton or applying sensible, balanced interpretation of the <em>recommendations<\/em> (<strong>not <\/strong>requirements) you received from Hamilton Public Health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following\nyour demonstrated pattern of prioritization, it is predicted that you will soon\nbe imposing a requirement of proof of Covid vaccination from all your members\nin order for them to be permitted to keep utilizing your facility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an FYI:\nThe Pfizer Covid vaccine ingredients\nhave been disclosed publicly today. They are posted on the Health Canada\nwebsite. I have read about each of the ingredients. One is a polyvinyl acetal\nresin (normally used in the plastics industry), and is patented by MONSANTO&#8230;\nthe GMO pesticide company. If that weren&#8217;t bad enough: One of the other\ningredients is potassium chloride&#8230;. which is one of the active ingredients in\nLETHAL INJECTIONS to STOP THE HEART. No need to take &#8216;my&#8217; word about this. Look\nit up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incidentally, my ex-husband was an MD. He turned against most\nmainstream medicine after learning first hand of the serious hazards from\nvaccines and many pharmaceutical drugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, I can count myself among the segment of the\npopulation which is knowingly vaccine-damaged. Vaccines have always caused me a\nvariety of serious reactions, and have easily reduced my natural lifespan by a\nfew decades. It was only after my first year of regular, intense gym workouts\nand following a strict diet of low-carbohydrates + whole foods that my recovery\nfrom vaccine damage began. It has been improving ever since. (Unfortunately, my\nbeing overweight with disproportionate fat accumulations &amp; very easy weight\ngain is still an ongoing yet unrelated problem to this particular matter). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully the aforementioned will supply you with what you\nmight consider to be worthwhile food for thought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>R.
