Oh, if childhood vaccinations can be left up to a person's or parent's choice, should we also let drivers decide for themselves whether to stop at a red light?

Thank you, Dr. Kaplan-Myrth, for raising awareness and standing up for public health. I always say —and I won’t stop repeating— that making vaccines for preventable diseases a matter of personal or parental choice is no different than letting drivers decide whether or not to stop at red lights.

Some responsibilities are in place to protect everyone. Not just the individual making the choice. Debating whether childhood vaccinations should be mandatory is like debating whether stopping at a red light should be left to a driver's discretion!

Certains lieux ne sont pas à vendre. Le Canada en fait partie — et il est en tête de cette liste. Merci au Premier ministre Carney de le rappeler si clairement. 🇨🇦

Thanks for sharing, Dr. Kaplan-Myrth. I had a stem-cell transplant in May 2023 and can’t get my MMR until two years post-transplant—just one month to go. I’m deeply grateful to be here, but the harm vaccine conspiracies cause to public health is infuriating. Our lives depend on truth and science!

A lovely surprise from my amazing research team today in our lab at uOttawa | Kanata North—a plaque to celebrate the King Charles Medal I received earlier this year. It nearly brought me to tears. Receiving this gesture from those I have the privilege to mentor means the world. Thank you, team!
