Damn Ontario, when did y’all succumb to the MAGA virus. I thought that whole Queen of Canada thing was done.
Romana still has supporters. I don't think we quite have MAGA, but unmoderated social media affects us all.
Indeed it does, indeed it does.
Or as my people say, “propaganda works”
Weaponized disinformation really.
What concerns me is that some people will say "oh we vaccinate, like not for flu or COVID or anything like that, but real vaccines". Um, how many people have to die?
The land of smoke, measles, and traffic. It's feeling pretty apocalyptic out there.
I know a nurse who was working in peds during a smaller measles outbreak last year in Ontario where that child died. She said to me that the children she worked with were all unvaccinated, they were the sickest people she's ever worked with in her career, and that the parents were universally obnoxious and resistant.
The other thing is that if any unvaccinated child who simply isn't old enough for the vaccine, meaning babies, is exposed to measles, even if they are asymptomatic they still have to be treated. She told me they had to treat 30 babies from that outbreak in our city alone.
and that the parents were universally obnoxious and resistant.
Wow, I would have never guessed....
(/s, obviously)
During the more deadly early days of COVID around Delta or so, my hospital ICU nurses were interviewed about COVID patients and ECMO and whatall on the news, and talked about how many people begged to be vaccinated once they were about to be intubated. Nothing will convince them until it kills them.
This would undoubtedly be wildly unethical, but those people should have been recorded and played back to anyone who refused vaccinations, for any disease really.
Highly unethical but something I would support doing.
Ford is a full on fascist now. He is trying to turn Ontario into Texas. He is remodeling the Ontario government after his emperor the convicted orange rapist felon. He needs to be gone yesterday or there is going to be serious shit going down that is none too good as seen by this preventable outbreak.
How are un vaccinated Mennonites Fords fault? He's done a lot wrong but I don't see how this is on him.
Isn't this a Mennonite thing?
It 100% is. It has nothing to do with Ford.
My guess is a mix of anti vaxxers and Mennonites?
We had an opportunity, I fear it’s going to end in political violence
That guy is out there raping oranges now?
Would not be surprised.
grats!
