Just read this article about the measles outbreak in Ontario, and Canada in general.
I really don't understand why parents won't vaccinate their kids against a very preventable disease.
Not only are you putting your own child at risk, but others who are to young to get vaccinated.
I'm not a parent but do schools ban kids from school if they aren't vaccinated?

Why put your child through this if it's preventable?

Because the covid fiasco scared parents away from vaccines.

I had measles as a child and survived. I grew up with many others who did as well. People are acting like kids are catching the black death. Is it preventable, sure but it's far from Y. Pestis. So hows about instead of acting like a bunch of cunts and shaming people who refuse to get their children vaccinated for measles we do are best to make sure they are given the best information on the vaccine, it's pro's and con's, and let them decide what's best for their children

sean, it's not that it's survivable. You could survive a disease with a 60% mortality rate but that doesn't mean you don't try to prevent getting it (sorry, that's an awkward sentence, double-negative and all. You know what I mean.)

We used to have chicken pox parties when we were kids, and we don't do that anymore because there is a vaccine.

Anyhow.

roddermac -- part of it was COVID, but in addition to being scared away, some (or a lot) of parents, both new and old, just didn't get around to going to their doctor's to get their kids immunized. So now you have a small 3-year cohort of under-vaccinated children as well. The anti-vax crap isn't helping the case.

You've seen some of the dumbass opinions around here...this merely checks out.


I can't find the original source (which is always important) but good article on the Anti-vax COVID demographic.

Typical ’vaccine hesitant’ person is a 42-year-old Ontario woman who votes Liberal: Abacus polling

The hesitant are not conspiracy theorists. They aren’t angry at the world. They don’t think COVID-19 is a hoax. They aren’t radicals of the left or the right — 61 percent of them say they are on the centre of the spectrum. Two thirds have post-secondary education. They might be timid, but they’re not stupid.

Almost half of them (46 percent) live in Ontario and well over half of them (59 percent) are women. A quarter were born outside Canada. Their average age is 42 and the plurality are between 30 and 44 years old. If they were voting in a federal election today, 35 percent would vote Liberal, 25 percent Conservative, 17 percent NDP, 9 percent Green — pretty similar to overall voting intentions for the entire population.

A friend of mine, (now deceased), was given the whooping cough vaccine as a child. The doctor did not know that he had already been exposed to whooping cough, but no symptoms had yet manifested.

He was left with severe and permanent lung damage. He was dead before age 55.

Hopefully with my face in a pussy
This bogus fucking criminal right here is responsible. Andrew Wakefield, a charlatan who managed to slip a fake 'study' into The Lancet, claiming that there was a link between the MMR vaccine and autism. There isn't any. Then there were other fucking assholes jumping on the 'science is fake' bandwagon, claiming that vaccines were full of nasty stuff that was going to make you sick. Others claimed vaccinations have never worked. They are all a gang of intellectually challenged morons who have trouble understanding high school science. And they're all wrong. The best thing for society is compulsory vaccination, with the only exceptions being genuine medical problems. And let's not forget the big tough guys who are shit-scared of a little needle. Fuck them. Hold them down and jab them while they scream, and no sucker after they get it.

Measles might have had a 60% fatality rate when your grandparents were children, it's a much different story in 2025. There's been three fatalities as a result of the current measles outbreak in the US. There are thousands of cases reported. The last major measles outbreak in the US in 2019 had nearly two thousand and zero fatalities. I may have been a steady C- in math class in high school but even I'm smart enough to know that amounts to a fraction of a percentage of all cases reported over the past six years.

When I had measles as a kid back in the 80s there were at least a dozen other kids who had measles in my school at the same time I did. None of them died as a result.

This comes down to personal choice, do you want to take the risk with the disease or do you want to take the risk with the vaccine. If measles did still have a 60% fatality rate you'd have a pretty good argument that you'd be stupid not to take the vaccine but that's not the case today and hasn't been the case for decades. So let people decide what they feel is best and stop being such a sanctimonious douche bag if they don't agree with you. The flu kills a thousand times more people per year than measles does, are people who refuse to take the flu vaccine moral reprobates too?

LOL. There are many variants of the flu. The flu vaccine doesn't work on many of them. And it's guess work every fall on which flu vaccine doctors will give.
The measles vaccine has been proven safe and extremely effective.
You are comparing apples to coconuts.

You are missing my point entirely, nobody is compelled to take the flu vaccine. The flu kills thousands of people each year. The measles vaccine is forced on people when almost everybody who gets it survives.

I cannot speak for the public school system but I did find this article interesting regarding student suspensions.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-schools-suspend-students-vaccines-1.7505150#:~:text=Toronto-,Ontario%20schools%20begin%20suspending%20students%20who%20aren't%20fully%20vaccinated,digitize%20its%20immunization%20record%20system.
The school my children attend all but indicated during COVID (different time of course) that without a rock solid medical exemption that can be verified by the schools doctor, children were not to return to campus.
