She's not a journalist, she's a rage bait social media personality. Find a better source for news.
Will you shut up about her? Why don't you just admit it that you're a mysogynist that can't stand it when a female journalist does her job of calling out the lies and bullshit from our gouvernents, especially when it doesn't fit your narrative.
If that is Rachel Gilmores rant she is bat shit crazy and about as much a journalist as I am.
God what an annoying bitch.
Immigration Stats
I have already mentioned this earlier so I will be short here. We have let in LARGE numbers of Indian immigrants they are not required to have MMR vaccines. MMR is also an issue in India and so on... see other post..
This was not in other post... Canadians traveling abroad can be exposed to measles in a wide range of countries where the disease is still endemic or experiencing outbreaks. Countries specifically identified by public health agencies as having significant measles outbreaks include those in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, as well as other parts of the Americas. Specific countries mentioned in reports include:
-India and Pakistan
-Mexico
-United States (due to local outbreaks in under-vaccinated communities)
-Various European nations
-Philippines, Indonesia, Yemen, and Nigeria
So immigrants are the cause for the measles outbreak in Canada huh? Especially the brown ones from India? That what you're saying?
Do you know how racist that sounds?
