This is on Doug Ford, not wanting to upset his antivax base. “Do want you want, I’m sure it’ll be fine” and allow the federal government to take the heat. Just like the clownvoy!

Do the Mennonites in Ontario (who are of diverse opinions across the communities) have a lower overall rate of vaccination for measles than school kids in Hamilton? I would be very surprised; Hamilton's 7 year olds are at 47% immunized against measles...

Yes. Also what "convincing" is this asshole doing? I haven't seen any free measles vaccine clinics. There was nothing last time I checked on the public health website for Hamilton. One way to "convince" people is to make it available easily for people who may now want one.

Is he maybe twisting arms at school boards behind the scenes? If so, it's appreciated, but it would be much more effective if he did it in plain view so the encouragement went beyond those specific kids from those specific cohorts. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/secondary-high-school-students-waterloo-region-suspended-vaccinations-1.7529627

Agree.

What's also disturbing about this story is that, as a former PR, I can see Moore is clearly driving its whole direction. (That's the goal in PR, TBH.) He's focusing us entirely on the present w/Mennonites as deflection away from the threat to the broader community with so many under-vaccinated kids.

christyceeck.bsky.social•24 days ago

And by that I'm not suggesting the Mennonite piece of the measles story gets lost, but trying to point to what's getting missed w/that as Moore's sole focus here.

We know since the pandemic kids across ON are less vaccinated than they should be. That should be getting more attention than it is.

So in Kieran Moore's Mennonite frame, which he's successfully established, he's STILL minimizing an ID threat to Ontarians.

Yes, he is reassuring us that measles will peter out in the summer **but what's his plan for the fall with a still under-vaccinated Ontario pediatric population**?

The response of the Ontario Ministry of Health has been shameful.
