This is a shocking stat: « There are currently 152 people in hospital and 15 Albertans in the ICU because of the illness. »
Up until very recently, that number would have been zero. #Measles is preventable.

The U.S. has so many mass shootings that remembering which maniac did which one is genuinely difficult.
Rep. Kamlager-Dove: "Dylann Roof, who followed white supremacist propaganda, murdered nine black parishioners in Charleston in 2015. Do you deny this?"

Seems doctors don’t like the idea of marinating kids in polio or measles.
Childhood vaccines prevent illness and save lives. The CMA stands with America's doctors to call on Florida to reverse its plans to end vaccine mandates, including those required for school attendance. Vaccines are one of the safest, most effective tools in the fight against preventable diseases.
AMA statement on Florida ending all vaccine mandates
AMA strongly opposes Florida’s plan to end all vaccine mandates, including those required for school attendance, and urges Florida to reconsider.
