I took a quick glance at previous numbers, and really it feels like the anti-vaxxers are the reason this is happening. Measles were completely under control even ten years ago, with only the occasional bad outbreak, yet we’re getting half of the worst national yearly numbers all at once in a single province this year.
And to make it worse, this isn’t a single isolated outbreak, but is happening every year. We’ve got a proven vaccine that’s worked for generations and saved countless lives, yet anti-vaxxers are burdening our already overstretched healthcare system by being ideological idiots.
Care for an illness that for which a person refused (by choice, not for legitimate medical reason) the vaccine should not be covered by public healthcare.
Disagree. I understand the sentiment, but would you deny cancer care for a smoker? Diabetes care for someone who is obese? Casts for someone who fell out of a tree? We can’t start denying heath care based on someone’s poor life choices.
