A young child in Ontario has died of measles It’s the first measles death in the province in over a decade, Public Health Ontario reports. The unvaccinated child was under age 5 and was among five children hospitalized with the infection.
A child under five years old has died of measles in Ontario, according to the provincial public health agency — the first such death in the province since 1989, when tracking began.
The WHO issued a report that transforms how the world understands spread of respiratory infections like #COVID-19, #influenza, & #measles: 🙄😷 “However, a committee advising the CDC appears poised to brush aside the updated science when it comes to its pending guidance on healthcare facilities.”
After decades of success in combating measles, the world is slipping, according to the latest World Health Organization statistics.
@NPR reports: "Measles cases increased worldwide from more than 170,000 cases in 2022 to more than 320,000 cases in 2023, according to WHO's count. And the first several months of 2024 have seen nearly 100,000 measles cases."
"It's really upsetting that we're investing so much time and energy, money, resources into this when we know that if we have a highly vaccinated public, we won't be seeing these cases," McMasters said. "Yes, I've been in public health for 25 years, and it kind of feels like going backwards."
4+ years into one of the most disruptive pandemics in history (and it's ongoing folks!!), the World Health Organization finally agrees to what realists knew since day one - Covid is airborne
Typically, fails to accept the obvious, that mitigations like indoor filtration, might actually help prevent waves of infections
Last night, at #Poilievre's "I'm Not Really Campaigning" rally, the loudest cheer went up after PP promised to eliminate ALL vaccine mandates.
Who in their right mind is voting for this? You just know his own kids are fully vaccinated.
After the #measles vaccine was introduced in 1963, the # of cases in #Canada dropped dramatically & by 1998 the country had reached measles elimination status. NOW MEASLES IS BACK due to numbskulls like PP and his supporters. 🤦
Any suggestions for how to minimise aerosols getting to 8 month old baby on long haul flights and in airports? #CovidIsNotOver#RSV#Flu#Measles Too young to #mask. Can you get a N95 grade muslin or bassinet cover? Would just a physical barrier of a light muslin still be better than nothing? @SiouxsieW@pezmico Thank you for any tips! Plz boost for more input.
