The viral infection was eliminated in 1998. Why it came back, and how to stop the spread.

Vaccination is our most effective tool against measles. The MMR vaccine is safe and highly effective, with two doses providing up to 99 per cent protection.

By maintaining high vaccination rates across our communities, we can prevent outbreaks and protect those who can’t be vaccinated due to age or medical conditions. As we navigate this situation, it’s crucial to stay informed and follow public health guidelines. Together, we can work to contain these outbreaks and protect the health of all Canadians.

The resurgence of measles in Canada is a stark reminder that we cannot take our public health achievements for granted.

Vaccination has been one of the most successful public health interventions in history, saving millions of lives. By working together — health-care providers, parents and communities — we can turn the tide on this resurgence and protect our most vulnerable populations from this preventable disease.

Measles is not just a childhood illness or a simple rash. It’s a serious disease with potentially severe complications. But with vigilance, education and a commitment to vaccination, we can once again push measles to the brink of elimination in Canada. The health of our communities depends on it.

I can access all the links, which doesn’t work for you?

Must be my app. I can’t click the post, but i think you’re right has nothing to do with your link

Any newspaper from New Brunswick except for L’acadie Nouvelle are now owned by the same people as National Post. Times & Transcript, Telegraph, etc.

So Postmedia. Sweet. /S

I had someone say to me the other day that no outlet owned by Postmedia has ever been considered reputable.
My counter to that was that doesn’t stop it being an issue of small outlets, serving small communities, being snapped up and either shut down and replaced with generic slop, or turned into a propaganda machine.
And in regards to none of the outlets being considered reputable, no sane person would call Fox News reputable, and look at all the… gestures vaguely towards the States

When Doug supported his daughters’ cupcake business and the concert she held with her husband against covid restrictions/precautions, and promoted insane conpiracies, and backing the convoy, while destroying public health, that might have something to do with it.
