Kids in Canada and US will pay for no fault of theirs
Canada has just lost measles elimination status. The U.S. will undoubtedly follow shortly.
Elimination means that there is no continuous spreading of measles within the country for a year or longer.
Canada and the U.S. have blown it, and it’s largely the fault of the anti-vaccination movement.

“Hope is passive; resolve is active. That’s why I believe in resolve, not hope.”
