Compelling personal story of a Canadian nurse who joined the anti-vax movement in a misguided effort to protect her young kids. She eventually came to realize it was all based on lies & misinformation. Now she is sharing her story & providing support for vax-hesitant parents.

‘The anti-vax movement isn’t simply a grassroots network of concerned parents. It’s an industry. … It operates on a simple premise: if you’re not vaccinating your kids, you need to protect them somehow, and here’s a bunch of things you can buy to do that.’

I spent years spouting conspiracy theories about vaccines. Now, as measles rages in my home of Alberta, I’m trying to convince vax-hesitant parents to inoculate their kids.

"There’s this assumption that anti-vaxxers are uneducated, conspiracy-minded types. And, sure, some are. But there’s also a large, quieter group of parents who are just confused, overwhelmed and desperate to make good choices."

Diving deep into the online mommy blogs made her vaccine hesitant. But COVID made her a vaccine evangelist. Here’s why. https://macleans.ca/longforms/confessions-of-an-ex-anti-vaxxer/

Keep an eye out for my story on storycollider this week. It was by far the hardest format as I was just telling my story without being prompted by an interview, and I had to tell it in 8 minutes. It was a challenge because I do go on and on.

Do people who want AB separation consider the 20,000 federal employees, the 138 reservations, the 5 national parks, and our provincial healthcare system that gets a portion of funds federally? What's the plan there? Or do you just want to take your ball and go home?

I don't wanna lose belly fat. I want to do a handstand, an L-sit, an arm bar, a rear naked choke, and an unassisted pull up or 10. They want us to focus on taking up less space, so we dont unlock all the cool shit this meat suit can do.

Well at least with the USA blundering public health this badly it will take another 100 years to forget why vaccines are important. The golden age is coming again. Just as soon as the horror show ends.

Note the importance of lack of judgement here. If you're going to interact w/folks who haven't vaccinated their kids, being assholes to them isn't a great strategy. You don't know their reasoning. /1
