These selfish dolts, many who claim to be "christian," are bringing back disease which were mostly unheard from in North America. Prevention and control programs designed to keep countries health have worked wonders. The misinformation machines, GOP and quacks have undermined all of that, especially in the US.
Jane Ruby is not an MD. She is an antivax conspiracy blogger, Vaxlady compiled these memes, of which there are many more, on only one SAV post.

How lawmakers in Texas and Florida undermine Covid vaccination efforts
State legislatures and politicians are pressuring public health officials to keep quiet about Covid vaccines.
Katherine Wells wants to urge her Lubbock, Texas, community to get vaccinated against Covid-19. “That could really save people from severe illness,” said Wells, the city’s public health director. But she can’t.
A rule added to Texas’ budget that went into effect Sept.1 forbids health departments and other organizations funded by the state government to advertise, recommend, or even list covid vaccines alone. “Clinics may inform patients that COVID-19 vaccinations are available,” the rule allows, “if it is not being singled out from other vaccines.”
Governor DeSantis and his horrible Surgeon General, Dr. Ladapo, recommend that anyone under 65 not get the updated Covid booster, evn though Florida was the number one state for deaths AFTER the rollout of the vaccines. He comes by his nickname most deservedly... DEATHsantis. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/02/us/politics/desantis-covid.html
Majority of Workers at America's Nursing Homes Unvaccinated Against Flu, COVID
Looking at 2023 data collected at nearly 14,000 nursing homes nationwide, researchers found that that fewer than one in every four (22.9%) health care workers had received up-to-date COVID vaccines, while less than half (47.1%) had gotten the latest flu shot.
In certain southern states—Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana and Missouri—less than 10% of staff at acute care hospitals were up-to-date on their COVID shots in 2023, the report found.

The antivaxxers have taken over so many of these URLs! Sometimes it is all you see in comments. their trick is to come last and make a string of controversial posts that have more comments and that keeps them higher on the comment list.

Currently, there are 41 active 1 cases of measles in Canada. 75 cases of measles and 1 case of congenital rubella syndrome/infection have been reported in Canada in 2024. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/measles/surveillance-measles/measles-rubella-weekly-monitoring-reports.html
Canada has its own QAnon and antivaxxer movement. They are pretty concentrated in Texas North - Alberta, and also wherever the CONservatives have a foothold.
Case in point...
Alberta premier’s support for town hall questioning COVID vaccines worries experts.
On a radio show, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said she supported the United Conservative Party town hall called “An Injection of Truth”. In its advertising it says: “Ask yourself, ‘How can we help Albertans put a stop to COVID shots that kill children?'” the ticketing website stated.
The “variety of doctors” are a veterinarian and 2 docs fired for not vaccinating… That lie has since been removed.
https://globalnews.ca/news/10511738/danielle-smith-covid-vaccine-town-hall/
In 2023, Premier Smith apologized for comparing vaccinated Albertans to followers of Hitler… even though she admits was somehow vaccinated with the Johnson & Johnson one-dose vaccine in Arizona at a time when she was not eligible in either country. 'Let’s move on' she says… https://globalnews.ca/news/10511738/danielle-smith-covid-vaccine-town-hall/
UPDATE 8
Canada, like many other countries, has never reached the 95%+ required to prevent measles outbreaks. The QAnon and Antivaxxer bugs have spread as rapidly as the diseases vaccines were meant to prevent and permeated Canada with a disastrous effect.
We started the year with one new active case of measles... however

Children's antivax book

"Dr" Shannon Kroner initially said she was unbiased and not antivax. Oh yeah? She's an antivax MAGA moron minion! Her thesis was in childhood vaccinations and she has made "freeDUMB" her specialty...

She is selling "nutritional: drinks and other snake-oil on all of her sites, surprise, surprise. She also has a masters in "special education." Proof that a great education does not always make you smarter... https://alovea.com/?ref=drshannonkroner

UPDATE 6
After 6 children came down with measles in Florida, in the same elementary school, Surgeon General “ Doctor” Ladapo urged parents to do whatever they felt best as they know best. And so, the asshole parents of unvaccinated children will feel vindicated, but sane parents should download his letter and save it as evidence of one of their children should become ill and have complications. The last thing these antivaxxers want to do is to vaccinate or keep their children home during the outbreak as would be the norm. And quarantine? Who needs that? Parents know best… https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/02/22/florida-measles-outbreak-ladapo/
"Due to the high immunity rate in the community, as well as the burden on families and educational cost of healthy children missing school, DOH is deferring to parents or guardians to make decisions about school attendance. This recommendation may change as epidemiological investigations continue," the anti-science piece of shit Ladapo wrote.

Measles Canada: Currently, there are 3 active cases of measles and 1 active case of congenital rubella syndrome in Canada. In 1998, Canada achieved elimination status for measles with endemic transmission no longer taking place.
Measles Europe: There were 42,200 measles cases across more than 40 European countries last year, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced this week — a more than 40-fold increase from 2022, which saw fewer than 1,000 cases. In December, the organization said there had been more than 20,000 hospitalizations and at least five deaths in the European region.
Measles Globally: Globally, the situation is even grimmer, with a spike in infections in 2022 that included nine million known cases and 136,000 reported deaths, mostly among children.

Weekly U.S. FLU Surveillance Report
After a decline in cases, a new upward trend is happening in some pockets of the US.
CDC estimates that there have been at least 20 million illnesses, 230,000 hospitalizations, and 14,000 deaths from flu so far this season.
CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older get an annual flu vaccine as long as influenza viruses are spreading.2 Vaccination now can still provide benefit this season.
There also are prescription flu antiviral drugs that can treat flu illness; those should be started as early as possible and are especially important for higher risk patients.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nearly-10000-died-covid-19-variant-holiday-gatherings/
Those are worldwide WHO COVID numbers that people are misconstruing. (And someone mentioned it also on the main page) Sadly, the USA is still the top death reporter in the world so yes, the numbers are high there still, but compare that to the thousands a day during the Delta death surge... Here are the reported numbers for the USA: (I only did a cursory glance and it looks like close to 3k in a month)
Well damn! I scanned the Canadian numbers are we are close to 1K in a month for the same rime period... and we are 1/10th population. In both Canada and the US, there are some places not reporting and numbers reported are likely well below actual numbers. Mask up Canada FFS! and get those boosters!
