Canada has been having a measles surge due to antivaxx activity, that puts these 2 groups at higher risk.

Yes. And measles is so contagious and deadly that the only way to protect those groups is by vaccinating enough other people. This is why measles vaccines have been such a huge focus for the past 50+ years.

And that is also why antivaxxers are directly responsible. Their willful ignorance and self-entitlement exposes these vulnerable groups to harm.

Those groups rely on herd immunity to prevent infection in the first place. Measles is so virulent that the threshold is 94% of the population. The population as a whole is under that threshold now because of anti-vax dipshits. They are directly responsible for every death in vulnerable populations that cannot receive the vaccine directly.

Most people have read more than this article can hope to explain.

Pointing at the most vulnerable and saying thats why they died from it is crazy when we can prevent it from happening at all with a vaccine thats been around for longer than I've been alive.

If it wasn't for idiot anti vaxxers we wouldn't be hearing reports of measles killing people more and more.

Ah yes, fuck herd immunity, everyone is out for themselves now, good luck children!!!!1!

maybe they will learn from these mistakes

Nope.

I think the whole thing started in 98 with Wakefield and his claim that MMR vaccine caused autism.

If I remember correctly he wasn’t even an antivaxer rather he wanted to sell his schedule.

Just a PSA, you can still get measles even if you're vaccinated. It is rare, but it is possible. Lets not jump to conclusions on the mom here. (Though I agree with the rest of your comment)

Fair enough. Probably not a case in this scenario then. Still, something fitting what I described is probably coming soon. Little kid gets sick from an American tourist, ends up dead. I'm almost surprised that I haven't heard of something like that happening before.
