WTF is this SHIT?
Anti-Vaxxers should get their own isolated community, and see how they fare without immunizations.

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – There are now three confirmed cases of measles in Vancouver, all with ties to french-language schools.
“We have at least one other suspected case, but it hasn’t been confirmed by lab tests just yet,” Tiffany Akins with Vancouver Coastal Health said.
The first case was confirmed over the weekend.
On Wednesday, the health authority had confirmed the second case. On Friday, it confirmed the third.
These are the three schools where the disease has been exposed:
École Jules-Verne (first 2 cases)
École Anne-Hébert (third case)
École Rose-Des-Vents (suspected)
All of the people with the confirmed cases are under 18. Akins would not say whether they were vaccinated.
“We aren’t revealing vaccination information for any of the cases because we need to protect their privacy, as they are considered patients,” she said.
“I can say that … the majority of people who get measles are unvaccinated,” she added.
She says notices have been sent to parents at the three schools.
“We are collecting information from people including parents, kids, and staff from the affected schools. We need to figure out where people have been, who they’ve been in contact with, have they had any symptoms.”
Akins says it’s “very unlikely that any of the cases are related to the outbreaks in the U.S. or Europe,” noting it’s more likely they contracted it locally from someone else who had it.
“An infected person can spread measles before knowing that they’ve been infected. People are infectious to others from four days before to four days after they have the rash.”

Vaccine is bad even though it's one of the most important invention of mankind in the 20th century that reduces mortality rate, right after washing your hands.
The Earth is flat even though we can literally see satellite images that it's round.
Etc,etc.
These people should be leave to self-select themselves out.
I vaguely remember a study showing that measles vaccinated high school children were actually the ones spreading the disease.
You dont have to be like the majority anti vaxxers that fall under rich and intelligent moms who can sit home all day and do more research then your average 'higher valued tradie doctor' to decipher what the truth is. Watch this documentary.

Do you think someone like Rob Schneider will be able to understand what's in a peer-reviewed scientific journal? Also, remember there are studies out there saying smoking is good for you.

Is measles like chicken pox or is it way worse? For some reason, I have it in my head measles is like chicken pox, if so, is it really that big of a deal.
I mean, i'm all for vaccination and all, but is measles that bad?

Yes. Highly-contagious airbourne-spread disease that results in extremely high fevers and pneumonia. Mortality rate is 0.2% (1 in 500) and most who die are children.
Airbourne-spread diseases can quickly overwhelm hospitals as there are not a lot of negative-pressure isolation rooms relative to the number of regular inpatient beds.
Chicken pox is spread via contact or droplets (e.g. someone coughing/sneezing on you). Droplet-spread infections are much easier to control. Chicken pox also has a much lower mortality rate and much milder symptoms.

They are two different viruses. The measles virus hits the body harder than the pox.
While both exhibit the same symptoms, measles has a higher probability of infecting the lungs which can cause potential complications.
Then there's Shingles which I had last year. I wouldn't even wish it on anyone I hated. It's that torturous.
Selfish people who don't read research. My daughter is 13 weeks old and it hits me hard knowing there is an outbreak. Newborns and people with low immune systems are the ones who become worried. They don't get a chance to have the vaccination.
Shouldnt most of us older revsceners be immune to measles? Forgot which vaccines ive had but as a 80s baby i had whatever was recommended by the doctors when i was a baby, as well as whatever was administered in elementary and high school.
I find it quite strange that all incidents so far are occurring at French language schools (French immersion).
There may or may not be any correlations to this, but as humans, we always look for patterns to explain stuff, and my reptilian brain keeps telling me there has to be something to explain the all-French language school bit.
