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!

More likely is that no one in the government gives 2 shits what some MAGA retiree is doing. Those types are desperate to pretend they are relevant.

Better drink some colloidal silver in chlorine, no way could that be a scam. Gee why am I turning blue and shitting my guts out

Alas… Medicine has yet to advance from leeches.

Have them skip the leeches, go straight to being a blood donor.
Similar health benefit, but also help others. Last I checked, the Red Cross has declared an emergency from blood shortages, caused by fewer donors than ever.
Just tell people it will reduce the microplastics in their bloodstream.

No no no no. Blood Transfusions are evil!

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?
- NotJustForMe ( @NotJustForMe@lemmy.ml ) 8•8 months ago
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.

What makes you think it hasn’t increased?

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.
