Compelling personal story of a Canadian nurse who joined the anti-vax movement in a misguided effort to protect her young kids. She eventually came to realize it was all based on lies & misinformation. Now she is sharing her story & providing support for vax-hesitant parents.

Highly recommended ๐Ÿ‘‡

Kudos to @formerantivax.bsky.social for writing this fantastic, insightful piece for Macleans magazine. She explains her journey here:

A worthwhile read from @formerantivax.bsky.social ๐Ÿ‘‡

"Thereโ€™s this assumption that anti-vaxxers are uneducated, conspiracy-minded types. And, sure, some are. But thereโ€™s also a large, quieter group of parents who are just confused, overwhelmed and desperate to make good choices."

Did you know a country will technically be healthy if you let all the sick and disabled die? #MAHA

A country with a large unvaccinated population is susceptible to bioterrorism.

Keep an eye out for my story on storycollider this week. It was by far the hardest format as I was just telling my story without being prompted by an interview, and I had to tell it in 8 minutes. It was a challenge because I do go on and on.

Do people who want AB separation consider the 20,000 federal employees, the 138 reservations, the 5 national parks, and our provincial healthcare system that gets a portion of funds federally? What's the plan there? Or do you just want to take your ball and go home?

I don't wanna lose belly fat. I want to do a handstand, an L-sit, an arm bar, a rear naked choke, and an unassisted pull up or 10. They want us to focus on taking up less space, so we dont unlock all the cool shit this meat suit can do.

People will understand the hard way and then everyone will vaccinate their kids again.

Well at least with the USA blundering public health this badly it will take another 100 years to forget why vaccines are important. The golden age is coming again. Just as soon as the horror show ends.

Seeing trump on any media makes me feel the same way I felt when that dirty uncle would stop by our home for a visit and all the boomers pretended he wasn't that bad.

I wouldn't go to the USA even if it was free, not even if you paid me.

Featuring quotes by @greyson.bsky.social & @formerantivax.bsky.social.

Note the importance of lack of judgement here. If you're going to interact w/folks who haven't vaccinated their kids, being assholes to them isn't a great strategy. You don't know their reasoning. /1

I'm in Alberta and I'm looking for collaboration btw. I tried to reach out on Twitter awhile back. I'm trying to start a non profit at the federal level like Voices for Vaccines.

You can tell antivaxxers donโ€™t actually care about children because a child died and these sickos are using it as an excuse to share juice recipes and promote their supplements.

Thereโ€™s more aluminum in a cup of carrot juice than in the two-dose MMR series. And carrot juice doesnโ€™t prevent measles.
