Measles Is Coming Back. We’re Not Prepared
Measles Is Coming Back. We’re Not Prepared
Canada is below the required immunity threshold to sustain elimination. How did we get here?

If only there was a way to prevent a person from getting measles. Hell, mumps and rubella too!
But the shot gave me 5g or whatever, they’ll know where I am all times!

Alas... Medicine has yet to advance from leeches.
Anti-vaxxers, of course. Everyone thank the anti-vaxxers with both middle fingers!
Agreed, but not just them, it is also about making sure vaccines are properly available and accessible, the clinics are open when parents are able to get to them (or out of work hours) and that their availability is properly advertised and promoted. It needs to be made as easy as possible for people to get their kids jabbed with as little impact on their daily schedules as possible.
How? There has always been X number of people who do not take vaccines, the largest group are the Amish and other smaller religious groups? The crazies you speak of are a tiny minority.
If there is more measles but the same group of people are taking the shots then measles would not increase by much. You think that people who took shots before are not taking them anymore?
In the last 20 to 30ish years, there's been a rise in anti-vax rhetoric, including massive campaigns specifically against the MMR vaccine.
What makes you think it hasn't increased?
What do you mean, the same group of people? You take the vaccine once, usually when you are a child. So if you got it for your kid, and they decided you are an archaic, brainwashed fool and didn't get it for theirs, there you go.
Andrew Fucking Wakefield can never suffer enough for everything he’s responsible for
At this point, he was a symptom. He was pushing a narrative those people already wanted to hear. They'd likely still be the way they are. They'd have found their excuse somewhere. And by now, anyone not immediately, loudly, aggressively pushing back on the bullshit narrative are bad actors with ill intentions
Well SOME of us are prepared, since we had parents who actually cared about our lives rather than virtue-signalling to their Facebook groups.
The problem is that the voluntarily unvaccinated give the disease the chance to circulate. Once in circulation it will harm some people who are vaccinated and some people who can't be vaccinated. Vaccination is in part an altruistic act that helps protect others. But antivaxers don't seem to understand this notion of doing something to protect other people.
Idiots like my sister.
She once sternly advised me "I won't have any chemicals in my home"
Wait until she hears about dihydrogen monoxide...
Nice. 🙂🥹😭
I am, I don't leave my house.
Well, I’m fully prepared. And I’m also prepared to watch Darwinism in action.
