Really sad and unnecessary deaths because of idiot parents and disinformation from anti-vaxers.

Alberta and Saskatchewan have a small but loud faction of antivax ideology. RFK and his quacks run a lot of cottage industries for quack cures which they spread misinformation on vaccines. Even some MLA s quietly cultivate the antivax voting base.

Kennedy Fires N.I.H. Scientist Who Filed Whistle-Blower Complaint

Three weeks after a leading scientist at the National Institutes of Health filed a whistle-blower complaint against the Trump administration, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy fired her. @nytimes.com

Apparently Alberta alone has had more reported cases than the US this year.... all over the province. Sadly this death was not unexpected...statistically speaking... so a true tragedy. .. .. (Perhaps we in the US have been fortunate Canadians are not traveling much this year)

The HPV vaccine is doing what had been promised.
17 years after it became available, HPV infections decreased significantly in vaccinated people and unvaccinated people because of herd immunity. buff.ly/WvjQ1BS

This is what happens when you don’t vaccinate kids against measles. Whether it’s religious anti-vaxxerism in Israel or the secular kind in the U.S., the awful results are the same.

MAGA hero Jay Bhattacharya says that “political priorities may override the scoring system provided by outside experts appointed to hundreds of review panels”

This is absolutely disgusting & utterly scandalous. If your study doesn’t fit with Trump & Bhattacharya’s right wing ideology, it’s toast 👀

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

Want to add that MMR isn’t given until 12 months of age. All infants are at risk. This is why vaccination is so important.

In outbreak areas you can vaccinate 6-12 months old but many parents wouldn’t know that. As you point out, young babies rely on the rest of us vaccinating.

🦠 All of them “were healthy with no underlying conditions” 😔

Ya, and AV typically brush this off as a severe complication that wouldn't happen in a non 3rd world country. It absolutely does happen in nations with modern healthcare and can easily get worse when the vaccination rates drop more. ANY kid suffering these complications is 1 too many.

But she was still hungry...

TY... at this point, I'm afraid any vaccine effect could be mitigated by the actions of the current ACIP. If their next step is to decline to update vaccine formulas to match mutations, or to further restrict access by arcane "rules"... infection rates will climb....

There is already strong evidence that COVID infection is associated with increased dementia, so it wouldn't be surprising if preventing infection is associated with a decrease.
