Measles spread 'like wildfire' among unvaccinated children in northeast B.C., health officer says
-
Northeast BC… so we’re talking in Peace River country / Alberta Lite? Or west of Fort Nelson?
Yes. Wonowon specifically.
-
10 hospitalized in B.C., the majority children, as health officials hope spread of virus has peaked
Because…
Measles is contagious dumbasses. This is why vaccines exist.

antivaxxers exist outside the usa, sometimes they reproduce, causing their children to suffer for something they didn’t get to choose themselves

@expatriado @altphoto Fortunately we got provaxers so now 1-in-16 children can express autism symptoms verses pre-vax numbers of 1-in-40000. But hey vaxes are cheap to produce providing an excellent profit margin regardless of how many you kill and cripple. -

No…and our recently anointed head of the CDC, RFK, has already reduced and restricted who is advised to receive even the flu and COVID annuals.

only 1 in 40000 make it to the age of onset?

We more or less defeated multiple diseases until YouTube came out and idiots started to do their own research.

@SatansMaggotyCumFart More people have died from the Covid vax than were saved by it. People are brain washed into believing whatever big corporate interests tell them are true. Think or die. -

So I’m right on the border of age that should get supposedly get a booster. Born in 1970. Would it be safe to get one now, just in case, even if I probably was just young enough to get them that year?
All the info I’ve read says that somehow everyone 1970 and later is fully vaccinated… but I don’t remember. What if I just missed getting the full round as a child?

So I think in Canada you can get an antibody test to see if you need a booster or not. In the US, insurance won’t pay for the test, but the shot itself is covered. So I just got the booster for free. I’m not much younger than you are.

MMRs are. For the time being anyway.

From the Public Health Agency website: “Each province and territory decides which vaccines it will provide free of charge to the public.”
So it depends ¯\(ツ)/¯

Thanks, good idea. I will go tomorrow if I can to ask about an antibody test. (Yes I’m in Canada)

I went in to get a vaccine for foreign travel (~6 years ago) and the nurse suggested getting the MMR vaccine because of an additional vaccine in the mix. I had the MMR in school (90s) but it has been expanded, so it was a free shot
