  11. Measles case confirmed in Halton Region (September 2, 2026)

    Halton Region Public Health is investigating a confirmed case of measles in Milton that has led to potential exposures in Halton on August 23, 25, 28 and 29, 2026. Measles is a highly contagious disease that spreads easily through the air.

    Details:

  12. Look at what these morons are saying:

    "It's fine, we expect anyone who's got measles to stay home."

    Yeah, well, go look up the word "asymptomatic" in the dictionary. And consider whether anyone can tell the first few hours of the common cold and measles apart.

  13. Antivaxxer folk music fans recently created a measles spreading event at the Urkult Festival in Sollefteå. Now antivaxxer Anthroposophists* are preparing another festival in Järna, despite knowing that the Urkult measles contagion is already there. 🙄

    * A European offshoot of Theosophy based on the writings of Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925).

  14. A #measles outbreak among young audience members at the #Urkult Festival in #Sollefteå has revealed the target demographic as overrepresented in antivaxxer families. Sweden in general has a solid herd immunity, but an event that gathers many unvaccinated people can create a temporary infection nexus.

    Neo-folk, world music and Sara Parkman. Apparently that's antivaxxer music.

  15. @jik One of my sibs is now as antivax as RFK thanks to #antivax propaganda that got very slick in 2020. The book How Fascism Works talks about how fash propaganda fractures our previously shared reality, which makes it easier for fascists to take & keep power.

    In a recent #TWIV episode, the host shared a story from the recent American Society for Virology conference: "SSPE. This is a late sequalae to #measles. It is uniformly fatal. It is rare. But. These kids who had measles, cuz they weren't vaccinated, they get this disease, neurological degeneration and they all die. & when they're sick, the parents call my host, Roberto Cattaneo, and say, 'What can I do? The doctors tell me there's nothing to do. Can we #vaccinate him now?' Parents don't understand. This is rare but you will lose your child if he gets SSPE. So get vaccinated. . . . [The incidence is] 1 in [10,000 but] if the child gets it in the first year of life, the incidence is 1 in 600."

  16. As professionals who have had to reason and analyze antivax behavior, the comment that always stayed with me is that "People will remain willfully ignorant until it affects them directly".

    As Measles Takes Toll on Kids, Anti-Vaxxers Have Change of Heart

    For some vaccine-hesitant parents...who’ve been goaded by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., watching an outbreak rip through their state has made the deadly realities of the disease more concrete.

    They’re starting to question their own deeply held beliefs and the conspiracy theories that fueled them. And in several measles hotspots, enough of them are quietly changing their minds on the MMR shot that it’s slowing down the outbreaks.

    I wish I could say I believe it is a turning point, but our recent history suggests that ignorance will keep outpacing facts unless laws are made and enforced to protect everyone.

  17. Lucas Waldron and Patricia Callahan take a long, sobering look at what may well happen down the road if RFKJr gets his way with vaccines and vaccine makers stop making vaccines readily available for the American market. Their modeling of a possible trajectory looks at polio, measles, rubella, and diphtheria.
