Seventeen per cent of parents are ‘really against’ vaccinating their kids, which is four times higher than in 2019 — just before the pandemic.

    If you don’t believe in vaccinations, you’re definitely not going to believe how long the emergency room wait times are nowadays.

      It’s cause and effect: a bunch of medical staff thought “clapping and hooting aside, I can’t deal with these morons who can’t take the slightest precaution but demand our heroics. I’m out”

      And they bailed. In record numbers.

      We can’t replenish them fast enough, and that’s before Alberta sabotages their own healthcare to promote mercenary care.

      I wonder how many of those ignorant hillbillies who knew better than epidemiologists before are the same ones who now know better than epidemiologists now.

      I’m trying really hard to find some sympathy. There’s painful learning ahead I and feel sorry for their unfortunate victims.

    The reason that many of those parents survived to become insufferable morons is that they were vaccinated during their childhood

    Fuck Trump and fuck the right-wing grifters that followed his path.

    We’re going to lose one of the most effective public-health tools since sanitation because a bunch of protofascist grifters decided the make health policy into a tribal shibboleth.

    And it’s not like they actually believe vaccine skepticism; they’re just happy to use it for clout.
