A large part is people find it difficult to get vaccinated (whether that’s the case or not), and then a wedding super spreader event got it into the Mennonite population who boosted the numbers by a lot.
For the difficulty you don’t have to go to a doctor, but people don’t know that. The wait time to see doctors is high and a ton of people can’t get a family doctor. Then a lot of places don’t have a vaccination location within a 40 minute drive, so they don’t do it for the hassle. And they stopped enforcing measles vaccination for kids in school during COVID.
It didn’t. There have been outbreaks in various states since the summer
Edit: I was incorrect:
A country is considered to have endemic measles if there has been uninterrupted transmission from a single outbreak of the virus that has lasted 12 months or longer
We did. We have religious communities who are very anti-vax in Saskatchewan and Alberta. They are insular but travel between communities for weddings and funerals and disease spreads. 5000 cases in the last couple years.
Would be cool if our two governments could function correctly and either quarantine those communities or do force vaccines. Fuck this nut jobs, take the jab and shut the fuck up.
I assume attempting to quarantine native communities is a political minefield. On one hand, you’re risk empowering the cunts that would extend the “quarantine” beyond medical reasons. On the other, you’d have people jumping at the chance to tear you up over your imprisoning the native peoples and forcing your culture on them instead of respecting their callous disregard for disease prevention.
It would be the rational thing to do, but politics isn’t strictly rational.
Hutterites in the West. First Nations have pretty good vac rates. There is a separate federal health system that handles public health for First Nations.
how did canada lose it before the US?
We have our own population of anti-vax morons.
