Bring in a million people a year. What could go wrong?
Maybe just maybe next time a new vaccinations out
(only a matter of time)
try education.
Even if its slow education first first and only.
Coercing/forcing folks into taking a ? against their will
tends to have an adverse affect on trust and in case you haven't noticed vaccinations are down accross the country ?
Based on these numbers you'd have a 0.0001% chance of getting measles if you live in quebec….
Always scare people before March break so people they don’t travel to anything in their life
What's the big deal? We can always replace any fallen Canadians with new immigrants, while making a profit
More legacy media fear mongering!
Ah yes. More “vaccinations”
How many booster this time!?
any pictures of the 'outbreak' not from a Kodak instamatic from the 70s ?
I wonder why people are reluctant to vaccinate?
Our new middle ages, next the bubonic plague will be showing up.
1 million immigrants a year.
One case of measles is "terrifying"? Hmmm…I wonder why people have stopped listening?
Coming from the booster shots. Wake up fools.
God bless you sister
Nonsense! When was the last time anyone in Canada or the US died from measles? 1960? And these people call themselves doctors? They should know better.
Covid vaccine dividends are down. Better crank up the fear machine with some other scare tactic so people run out in a panic for their measles shot
GET YOUR VACCINE AND MAKE PFIZER RICH
Covid vaccine dividends are down.
vACCIEN mANUFACTURERS CARE ABOUTUS!!
"Drop in vaccine confidence"
Don't forget that the Covid shutdowns started during March Break of the UsA Federal Lection Year.
Same "officials" that lied to us for 3 years straight ? ?
Public health officials shold be on trial for their crimes….
Illegal migration?
When I was a kid, we all caught and got over measles, chickenpox, etc.
