       Whooping cough cases in Alberta on track for one of the worst years in a decade:"Because pertussis is so easily transmissible, we really need to see vaccination levels in the mid-90s to slow spread in the community. In many places in Alberta, we are seeing childhood vaccine numbers that are in the 30 and 40 per cent range. [That's] far below what is needed to prevent the spread."https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/whooping-cough-pertussis-alberta-1.7065298#alberta #ableg #canada #cdnpoli #vaccines vaccination

       @robsonfletcher Do children that suffered antivax parents, and then got infected and damaged such that their quality of life is reduced, have any culpability to look after their elderly antivaxx parents that failed to prevent harm?

       @NMBA @robsonfletcher Since it is legal to kill your children in #Alberta, I'm sure a solution for the parents will be available, in due course.

       @Gumberculese @NMBA @robsonfletcher My generation had measles,  mumps and chicken pox, all of them miserable. Why anyone would put their child through infection is beyond me.  Vaccines are a great advantage of the modern age and should be embraced by responsible parents.

       @lastoneout @Gumberculese @NMBA @robsonfletcher Yeah, my earliest childhood memory is having the measles and hiding in the cupboard from the light. Why would I want my children to suffer like that?

       @Giliell @lastoneout @Gumberculese @NMBA I think part of the issue is a lot of folks today DON'T remember a lot of these illnesses because vaccines have been so successful at mitigating them for decades now. (I certainly don't remember, say, diphteria. But it sounds absolutely horrible, from what I've read.)

       @robsonfletcher @lastoneout @Gumberculese @NMBA My mum lost a school friend to Polio... Otoh, they do see the devastation Covid causes and still refuse the vaccines...
