Ontario measles case count tops 800, 155 new infections since last week (www.cbc.ca)

Ontario is reporting 155 new measles cases over the last week, pushing the province's case count to 816 since an outbreak began in the fall.

The number of new cases has increased again after a few weeks of appearing to stabilize in the 100-per-week range, which public health physicians had taken as a sign of potential optimism.

Public Health Ontario says there have now been 61 hospitalizations — that's 11 more than last week — including 47 children. Unimmunized kids are the predominant group infected by the outbreak.

Most cases are still in Ontario's southwestern public health unit, but they spread to two more public health units this week, including Hamilton and Northeastern, which covers Timmins and Englehart.

It's been traced to a Mennonite wedding in New Brunswick, Ontario's chief public health doctor said, and has since spread across the country. The result's been the largest measles outbreak Canada has seen in more than a decade.

Fuck these idiot parents who aren't vaccinating their kids - and fuck our system for letting the disease factories still go to school unvaxxed.

Ontario is way too susceptible to misinformation

Please vaccinate your kids, it’s safe, we’ve been doing it for decades with no major drawbacks.

Ontario is way too susceptible to misinformation

People in general are stupid. People use 'apps' that they know will sell their personal information. People text while driving. People vote conservative. This is what happens when an education system is non-priority.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Everybody's eyeballing Texas when we've got even more cases in Ontario.

I wonder how Drug Fraud is dealing with this issue?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I wish there was more info on how many were unvaccinated - more than just "predominant" - and the relative seriousness of the symptoms.

There can't be that many anti-vaxxers, can there?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

Due to how measles spreads, it is most likely have outbreaks in situations where all the antivaxers are hanging out with each other. s soon as 1 gets it, all their anti-vax friends also get it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

The outbreak in Southern Ontario seems to be mostly Mennonites. So the original anti-vaxxers.

This report from Public Health Ontario has additional information. It shows that 84.7% were Unimmunized and 9.7% were Unknown/no proof of immunization (page 5).

Thanks!

There can’t be that many anti-vaxxers, can there?

Some are likely immigrants from countries where vaccine availability is less. A few probably just have lazy parents who can't be arsed to make the necessary appointments without someone pushing at them. And yeah, some people are just drinking the kool-aid and making their kids pay the price.

Used to be that the health units vaccinated kids who hadn't been jabbed yet at the schools unless their parents made an effort to opt out. Maybe we should go back to that. Not only does it reduce the effort the parents need to make, but normalizing the vaccination process that way might have an effect on parents who are wavering on the edge of the antivax zone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

Do not out this on migrants. Migrants have always been arriving same as now. No change there. This is a matter of local behavior.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 day ago

1- make vaccination mandatory.
2- charge parents's non-compliance with immediate 10 days imprisonment.
3- make it clear that, starting next month, any children dying from parent's misbehavior will result in capital punishment for this parent - - no trial - - just execute them on public stage.

This is just a stupid rant on the internet - - i'm not taking the time to weigh exactly each of these words - - take them with a grain of salt f.f.s.
