6/ I'm dismayed at the election of CPC candidates with extreme anti-science views, including those I mentioned before: Leslyn Lewis, Dean Allison, Roman Baber, and Matt Strauss in Ontario. They're a sign that Canada is ripe for the anti-science destructive populists we see in the US.

This is just one example of the mounting anti-science wave taking place within Canadian conservative governments. Ontario disbanded the Science Table during the pandemic, closed the Science Centre, and in Alberta the govt published a widely mocked faux pandemic report rife with disinformation.

As I write this, the conservative government of Doug Ford is silent about the large measles outbreak, he gutted Public Health, and his CMOH is nothing but a muted political appointee who is not doing his fiduciary duty.

We know from testing obvious symptomatic measles cases that measles is spreading after the fact. Wastewater surveillance would have more properly identified infections much earlier, more completely, and better framed the scale of activity.

Measles is highly contagious, the best way to control the spread is to ensure that over 95% of the community is immunized against the virus. Failure to do so will lead to this sort of ongoing outbreak. 61 have been hospitalized, eventually the growing numbers will lead to a death, likely a child.
