> Measles, a dangerous illness that for decades has rarely infected Canadians, is back – and spreading. [...] Robert F.

Reading this, it's a challenge to feel empathy. Everyone deserves some degree of empathy, idiots too. Yet this topic seems so needlessly self inflicted. Maybe it's a more nuanced topic than I'm aware of, is there a strong argument against vaccination?

There's a fraudulent argument against vaccination. Unfortunately many people believe the fraudsters.

no, antivax

if ever there was someone that met that definition, it would be him
