I wish there was more info on how many were unvaccinated - more than just "predominant" - and the relative seriousness of the symptoms.
There can't be that many anti-vaxxers, can there?
This report from Public Health Ontario has additional information. It shows that 84.7% were Unimmunized and 9.7% were Unknown/no proof of immunization (page 5).
Thanks!
The outbreak in Southern Ontario seems to be mostly Mennonites. So the original anti-vaxxers.
Some are likely immigrants from countries where vaccine availability is less. A few probably just have lazy parents who can't be arsed to make the necessary appointments without someone pushing at them. And yeah, some people are just drinking the kool-aid and making their kids pay the price.
Used to be that the health units vaccinated kids who hadn't been jabbed yet at the schools unless their parents made an effort to opt out. Maybe we should go back to that. Not only does it reduce the effort the parents need to make, but normalizing the vaccination process that way might have an effect on parents who are wavering on the edge of the antivax zone.
Do not out this on migrants. Migrants have always been arriving same as now. No change there. This is a matter of local behavior.
Due to how measles spreads, it is most likely have outbreaks in situations where all the antivaxers are hanging out with each other. s soon as 1 gets it, all their anti-vax friends also get it.
