Child under 5 dies of measles in Ontario: PHO
ArticleThose parents should be criminally charged for neglect causing death
100% this. Enough with these anti-vaxxer sheep, screw them. They harm society and their own kids. Measles is essentially preventable, these idiots killed their kid, should be neglect and a manslaughter charge.
This happened not long ago in Alberta with a toddler who got fucking meningitis and died because the parents were insane anti vax idiots. They were charged and ultimately found NOT GUILTY.
Just as you are legally required to provide your child with food, water, shelter, education, healthcare, a list of vaccines should be mandatory. Like measles, meningitis, etc. things that have been around forever and more than proven their effectiveness, safety and importance.
I lived in Lethbridge when this happened, they had a friend who was a nurse and were told to take the child to the hospital but they didn't till it was too late. And then tried to sue the paramedics for not doing enough to save their kid. And just to add another terrible layer to this, the dad now, or at least was last I heard, goes around giving speeches about anti vaxx shit and promoting natural remedies. Absolute garbage human beings.
Just listened to the podcast. I was so fucking mad.
Definitely this.
Well said! This was 100% preventable.
My sister refused to give her kids a whooping cough vaccine. Believed in Crowd Vaccination (that everyone around you is vaxxed therefore cannot have/pass illness to you)
My three year old Niece got Whooping Cough at a daycare.
I Punched my sister so hard i felt like an angsty teenager again! Needless to say she got all her other shots after this.
It’s perturbing that there are people who genuinely trust crowd vaccination. If everyone around you ALSO believed in crowd vaccination, then NOBODY would be fucking vaccinated, you nutsacks.
It also reminds me of the people who say “I don’t need to get STI tested, because everyone else does it. I’m going to keep having unprotected sex because I’ve done it X times so far and never contracted anything.” Plenty of STIs will not show symptoms, and you can contract and spread them without knowing. Some people don’t know this and some do and don’t care.
It’s so ignorant to decline accessible modern medicine that some less fortunate communities could only WISH they had. Any parent who refuses to vaccinate their vulnerable infants should be held criminally responsible, and I will die on that hill.
I’d never want to put my child at risk my by relying on herd immunity especially if they were attending daycare. Daycare is one giant biohazard site, your kid is going to catch everything.
I look forward to our society returning to a time when experts are respected and valued.
Not only in medicine, in every walk of life. Want an informed opinion on something? Talk to someone who's been involved in the topic 5 days a week for over 10 years.
I am an electrician, I used to like watching videos showing electrical work. One day I was reading the comments and saw one of the stupidest comments I've ever come across. "Electrical codes are a liberal conspiracy." I shut off my computer, walked outside and reflected for a bit. I believe we've hit peak stupidity and there's no turning back.
I hope you're right, but I'm not holding my breath.
Watching average ass people try to gainsay ACTUAL Epidemiologists about what a virus can and can't do during the pandemic was wild AF. Like they literally attended a post-graduate degree in this shit...but Internet Armchair Redditor thinks he knows more, and his proof is... nothing...
I can't with these people.
Bird flu might change that.
Covid didn’t, why would bird flu? Am I missing something?
Much higher death rate.
I see. Thank you!
No worries, sorry to be so dark, it’s been a trying few days, and the semi-bigger picture can be stressful too!
I’m about a month away from sending a message to aliens to let them know I’ll help them take over.
Me too… I’m scared we’re not going to return to this…
No one is to blame but the parents here. This is something they can carry on for the rest of their lives, being the reason for their neglected child’s death.
Except if they were willing to forgo thoroughly studied and safe vaccines, they'll probably find someone else to blame in their own heads. It'll be the doctors who didn't try hard enough or the nurses who didn't explain in full how vulnerable leaving young children unvaccinated was or even just their friends/family for being too mean when they found out the parents were opting out of vaccines
Should carry it through their prison sentence
Even further:
Five cases required hospitalization and all of those cases were among children under the age of nine who were not vaccinated.
I’m looking at my baby’s vaccine schedule, and he’s not due for the measles one until 12 months. Do we know if this poor baby was too young to receive it?
The “funny” thing too is that if people were still vaccinating their kids as much as they used to, even if the kid was too young for a booster, herd immunity would protect them
We do not know. Also I've read that the baby can be optionally given the vaccine at 6 months but they'll have to "re-do" it at 12 months, which could still be worth it if there is measles going around. Talk to your doctor.
Kids aren’t fully protected until they have their 4 year booster. I spoke to my doctor and bumped up my child’s 4 year booster - he recently got his 4 year booster at 3.5 years. The doctor said due to the uptick in measles it was a good idea. Something to consider for parents who want to protect their children from preventable illness.
I did the same with my 3 year old. Unfortunately I also have an 8 month old who isn’t old enough for the vaccine yet. Anti vaxxers make me broil with anger
Provided early and free to babies if you are going to travel to somewhere where measles is common. It wont count towards their regular two dose series but should be provided free (at least in BC). Then once they turn one you resume the regular schedule.
If you say you’re going to the US they give it for your under one. I’m doing that.
According to the article, they are 90% protected. It is unheard of for a child to get measles if they’re vaccinated even once.
It was a case of missing a booster, this kid had no vaccination shots at all. The article says all the kids who caught the disease so far in 2024, have not been vaccinated against it and 5, including this one ended up in the hospital. Completely avoidable, sadly in this case
We went twice to our doctor who said our daughter couldn’t get her 2nd till her 4th birthday …she’s 2.5. The doctor said he one dose would be good enough till then , arg
If it's any peace of mind, a single dose still offers significant protection. I think it's something like 85-95% protection with one shot, and near-100% with two shots. On an individual level you're quite safe with one shot, it's just as a whole we need that added percentage of herd immunity because it's so contagious.
It’s try Ohip might not cover it before 4. Try calling travel clinics to pay for one. One dose covers up to 85% I believe.
the anti vaxxers on X are calling this fake news on the cp24 channel. fucking bonkers.
They won’t change their tune until they are personally affected. Maybe if we have a measles epidemic and they lose a couple of their kids but even then it’ll probably be someone else’s fault.
It often doesn't even then.
I knew a couple from a church I attended when I was a Christian, the husband got COVID and they had been anti-vaxxers along with the rest of the lemmings at that church. Was serious enough that he had to be hospitalized.
He remained an anti-vaxxer all the way up to the point where he died from COVID.
Many in the church are still anti-vaxxers. I've unfriended the whole lot of them but still hear things. I guess they figure it was God's will or something.
Fucking idiots.
What church? Even the pope was saying to take the damn vaccine.
Not who you replied to but my friend invited me to her church (in Ontario) and it was also full of antivaxxers. Catholics are usually very normal about medicine/vaccines/ science (like you said about the pope). But i noticed there are more and more smaller churches with an American Evangelical style of Christianity that are openly antivaxx, antifeminist, etc
What do you mean people falling for one death cult, fell for another?
Sadly. And these churches tend to isolate people further from friends and family
Meatloaf was the same. He was an antivaxxer & anti lockdown etc. Until the day he died from covid
His name was Robert Paulson.
God needed him for something.
To feed the worms.
Oh, it will definitely be someone else's fault. They could be burying their kid, and it would be because the ultra woke science brigade put fluoride in the water or some goddamned thing. Never because of their ignorance and stupidity.
And overreacting over significant facts.
I have a friend that went antivax because "THE COVID VAX HAS METALS IN THEM!!". Girl, stfu. You know else has more metals? Apples.
This happened at work (hospital) with COVID. A former COVID denier came in within the last 6 months and apologized to us for being a former denier. He and his father ended up contracting COVID and his father needed hospitalization.
I’m a first responder. Literally saw a guy in hospital claim covid was fake and that all the staff was in on it until he took his last breath.
It’s sad what indoctrination does to people even when they can see the evidence right in front of them, but at the same time it’s hard to feel sorry for them especially when their foolishness and selfishness hurts other people or they come in with a side effect from using an anti-parasitic to “cure” a virus that they didn’t have in the first place. Saw a few of those too.
Moron. There was a couple times I wanted to say to people “I’m sorry we’re trying to keep you alive” while they were protesting and yelling in our faces that it was fake.
“If it’s fake then why are you here? You can go home any time since you seem to know more than we do.”
Was one of the best lines I heard from a doctor to a patient who was cyanotic. Even doctors can’t fix stupid. Sometimes you just have to let stupid take it’s course.
I think it was about 2 years in when I started rooting for the virus because of the way the general public was whining and complaining about their “freedoms” while we were sacrificing. As a result I’m probably gonna retire 10 years earlier than planned from healthcare and do something entirely different with the rest of my life. I cannot deal with it much longer. Society as a whole came out of the pandemic more selfish, self absorbed and entitled and I no longer have a desire to help them.
I entirely agree with you. People really started showing their true colours since the pandemic and social media hasn’t helped.
I’m only 7 years in and I feel the same a lot of the time. I think I have about 5-10 years left where I can somewhat tolerate this but not more than that. Still soul searching on what I want to do next and as soon as I figure that out I’m probably going to make my exit.
Glad at least one person came to their senses.
In my city, we still have fuckers standing on the road with placards, protesting the COVID vaccine.
The placard reads that three of the person's family died to it...I guess it missed one more!
It’s kinda funny how the people accusing us of lying about knowing someone with covid now all know someone (or multiple) who died from the vaccine even though there were only 11 in Canada (or 0.0000104% of doses given).
To put that into perspective, 9-10 people die from being struck by lighting each year in Canada.
It’s like that stupid school litterbox story, I’ve had three people in two different cities tell me they know someone who knows someone that has seen it. I ask them to prove it and they shut up.
Because children aren't important to them. Their underwater, essential oil scented, dolphin assisted births are what matter. Children are just the product of childbirth.
That's because anti vaxxers are fucking stupid. X is a bit of a shit hole too.
Can we just call it Twitter to avoid confusion and to avoid using that stupid new name, or X-Twitter?
Agreed. If the domain name is still twitter.com it's still Twitter no matter what Elmo wishes people would call it.
Let's just agree to call it "shitter"
X as a name has much less prestige and is kinda stupid as a platform name. That's why I prefer to use it now.
Saying X is a bit of a shit hole
Is like saying that the Earth is getting a bit warmer.
This is why they will never change. Show them kindness, they get mad, show them facts they get mad and say fake news, show them the actual patient, they will think they are actors.
It's literally impossible!
It has to happen to them first. Or maybe even then they’ll say they were injected with something to be sick and made to be a “measles” patient.
It's the feelings before facts mentality, which is ironically what they often accuse others of having
Oh god. I’ve lost all faith in humanity. There’s no hope.
For every one of these morons theres a good person who cares for their fellow human and the world around them. Dont lose hope because of the worst of us.
Why give any attention to them at all? They clearly don't care about empirical evidence.
Everything-i-dont-like-is-woke.meme
Wonder what the anti vax parents are saying.
Well yeah the only people still on that shit hole site are social media addicts and extremists.
As a parent this shit makes my blood boil. There are safe and effective vaccines for this shit and this shouldn't happen.
As a parent of a kid who’s to young for the vaccine, I feel your rage equally . He’s 5 weeks away from six months I might just get it early and then again at a year. There have been cases in my city and I don’t want the risk.
Edit: the child that died was in Hamilton, my city. I wish we were able to know the travel and contact details. Did this child get it from travel or just randomly in the city. This whole thing is fucking awful and scary.
Really freaks me out that I have to worry about this just as my baby is starting to get out and socialize and see the world.
I fucking hate this anti-vax bullshit. That poor child is dead because of stupidity.
I'm glad all this anti-vax bs didn't start up until I was an adult. My mother became anti-vax when the whole "MMR vaccines cause autism" thing came out.
Forwarding this to my idiot cousin.
It won’t do any good. The anti-vax community will have ways to spin this and everyone will again feel confident in their decisions to not vaccinate their children. The mental gymnastics these morons go through is wild.
"Died with measles. Not from measles"
That’s like saying a cancer patient didn’t die from cancer; they died of organ failure.
Causation not correlation
Wont do a thing. I would love to know what would. I think many people invest their whole self worth into their opinions nowadays. I don't even think the death of their own child will change the mind of these parents. But, that might be for a different reason. I expect in order for these parents to change their minds on the dangers of vaccinating children against measles, they would have to accept the sole responsibility for the death of their child. I'm not sure anyone could bear that amount of guilt.
It is so important that our public education systems work to inform our children on the importance of continually testing our opinions. Speaking respectfully to each other, listening to each other, and not insulting each other is key to this.
I have only had one opportunity to do this. An cab driver told me that wildfires are just as common as they have always been. Having studied air pollution in Canada for many years (Its all I know), and knowing the immense increase in the particles in the air, I know this to not be true. We had a calm respectable discussion. But I couldn't help him see reason. It seemed like changing his mind was a kin to abandoning something precious. What should have been a scientific discussion was one of ego.
Man.... we have a serious problem in our society. Solving it is more important than solving any other problem. This problem prevents us from finding consensus on any topic.
It won't help. There's no vaccine against stupidity...and even if there was, you know they wouldn't get it.
There is, it’s called education. It’s very elusive and certain political parties fight it’s implementation for their own benefit.
I got lucky. When my first got pregnant she told me she was concerned about her baby having autism from vaccines. I just inundated her with memes about anti-vax kids dying really young and she got the message and got her kids vaccinated. There’s no better motivator than shame.
It won't matter. I know a couple of lost their 10 year old son a few years ago to meningitis. They just made a replacement kid not long after
At what age is the first vaccination for meningitis given? Then what age is the booster?
Unless the child had an autoimmune disease or something that would prevent them from getting the MMR, their parents are asshats. Their parents should not have reproduced and subjected them to this suffering.
Parents should be charged with endangering a child or manslaughter IMHO.
If the kid isn't autoimmune compromised, or it's not a religious situation, I'd wonder if there's a case for failing to provide the necessities of life or some kind of neglect type law they'd be hit with.
Religion is such a shit defence for not getting vaccinated. I haven't heard one good argument about why one's belief in an imaginary sky daddy trumps anything.
We can endanger our child because "sky daddy" hates needles; what a fucking crock.
Oh you should see how fast religious zealots change their beliefs when they are in need of transplants and life saving treatments. Magically Jehovah is fine with them “ingesting” organs and blood as long as we “limit” the blood we take FROM them for pre and post op testing. I feel like telling them to go pray to their fucking god and make room for people who respect science or open their own denomination hospitals and do what you want
I wish these anti vax assclowns actually suffered personally for their own stupidity more frequently. Now another innocent child is dead due to someone else's proud ignorance.
Bet the parents were vaccinated.
My sister posted some anti-covd vaccine shit on FB during the pandemic and my dad commented on it saying "You know why you're still here? Becuase your mom and I had you fully vaccinated as a kid"...and she fucking BLOCKED him for saying it. These people are deeply deeply unwell, but they are well past the point of admitting fault.
Yeah cause their parents took care of it.
Exactly
The innocent child is dead due to its own parents’ ignorance if they weren’t vaccinated.
As do we all.
Unfortunately it's their children who end up suffering for their stupidity. And they're so brain dead, they'll find a way to spin it as they interacted with a vaxxed kid, etc, and that's why it happened.
Here's hoping for charges against the parents.
Those parents are suffering. Their child is dead. Maybe they put on a face but in their hearts they know they failed their child. Those they listened to failed their child. That'll eat at them until their dying breath.
That'll eat at them until their dying breath.
As it should. Absolution should never come.
I genuinely hope it eats them alive for the rest of their days. I'm not a parent, I'm never going to be a parent, but if I was there is NOTHING that would come before the health and wellbeing of my child, especially not my unfounded, shallow fear of proven healthcare methodologies from which I DIRECTLY benefitted.
Good
That'll eat at them until their dying breath.
I sure hope so. At least it wasn't their lives that were sacrificed for facebook memes.
How do you know they are antivaxxers? Of the 22 measles cases, 15 were travel related, and 5 got it from those travel cases.
It’s completely possible these are newly arrived immigrants.
Who knew in our life modern medicine became so good people just outright deny it and most of the anti vaxers don’t even think they were vaccinated when they were younger which they were. Sadly innocent lives got to be lost for the pendulum to swing the other way. It all could be avoided if people just listening to experts not get their degrees on rumble and YouTube and tik tok.
I do feel if it’s the parents negligence that caused this they should be held criminally liable but maybe that’s just me though. At the minimum if it was their fault I hope their poor decisions haunts them.
The parents should be criminally charged.
"For example, in Toronto, the percentage of seven-year-olds fully vaccinated for measles dropped from 80.2 per cent in the 2019-2020 school year to 38.9 per cent in the 2021-2022 school year" I'm sorry WHAT?? Are those number accurate?? I expected a drop, but all the way to 38.9??? Are there seriously that many people who don't care if their child gets a disease that has been known to kill perfectly healthy kids?? Yeesh!!
I’m wondering what happened to providing proof of vaccination to enrol in school. Our school board requires us or our physicians to upload our child’s vaccination documents to our local health units portal prior to enrolling in school. Hell, our daycare required proof of vaccinations and updates as they aged/received more.
What are the causes for vaccine exempt people? “Just because I don’t want to”?
I actually found out from my pregnancy bloodwork 2 years ago that I had no immunity to measles (I had received all my childhood vaccines) and after birth immediately requested an MMR booster.
This blows my mind.
I agree with you. Our board also requires proof of vaccination, and there are hoops to jump through to choose not to.
That is absolutely shocking if true…
You know what’s really effective? The measles vaccine.
Unless there were extenuating circumstances, the parents need to be held accountable for this entirely preventable death.
They won't believe it....but this is what happens when people "choose" to not get vaccinated. It does hurt others. This is what happens.
Watching Fox can have associated health hazards!
Pre covid anti vaxers were wealthy elite and Hollywood types. Oprah gave anti vaxers a platform.
Even though the original study linking vaccines to autism was debunked, there was a slowing of vaccination rates in the US (easier to find stats). I'd have to go look for it but it's been slowly trending down for years.
As much as I want to see anti-vaxx parents who's child dies or has serious health issues as a result of said aversion to vaccinations, it might be that this child was too young.
So it could be that the child was under 12 months and thus would not have had the regularly scheduled vaccine.
This is important. I hope the parents can find some peace. No matter what, losing a child must be devastating.
Of course, as a society, we can place some of the blame on anti-vaxxers who allowed measles to resurface and put babies and other vulnerable people at risk.
we can place some of the blame on anti-vaxxers who allowed measles to resurface and put babies and other vulnerable people at risk
We certainly can... let's just hope polio doesn't come back!
I'm not sure I can follow Rule 3 while discussing these parents.
Bringing back the 1950s, based and trad
All you anti-vax folks… this is one of the consequences of your actions. Poor child, and I agree they should be charged for neglect. But all the right wing anti vax nut jobs will make a big stink about it…
Why would you not get vaccinated such a terrible tragic needless thing to have happened.
Get a vaxine, jesus christ. Poor kid.
Yeah.....anti vax murder? Wilĺ parents be charged???
They should be charged for neglect and murder FFS!!
At the very least child endangerment
If the baby was under 12 months it’s not its parents’ fault, but the fault of other anti-vaxxers.
How so?
Babies don’t get their measles (measles, mumps, & rubella) vaccine until their one year old check up.
That’s why herd immunity is so important - it protects vulnerable newborns and infants from catching it.
Kids then get a second shot when they’re 4-6 years old.
Kids under 12 months are too young to get their first dose of MMR. However, if everyone eligible was actually vaccinated, an unvaccinated infant wouldn't be at risk. So these antivax assholes are not only leaving their own kids vulnerable, but also every baby too young to be vaccinated
(Not saying this case was in an infant, we don't know)
I feel like if it was an infant who was too young to be vaccinated that would have been stated in the article “infant” and “child under 5” are 2 different things. My guess is the child was 3/4 and should have had at least their first dose
if only there was something that could prevent that 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
This is what happens when you treat all opinions as valid instead of shaming people like the complete social [redacteds] that they are.
Measles made me severely sick at 17 (no vaccination against measles here in Belgium 50 years ago). It weakened my heart for years, reset my immune system. Our doctor informed the health ministery since any occurence must, and nobody in a 50km radius had it. I was commuting to school with public bus and this shit remains in the air if a close space for 2hrs before dying. 5 years ago, a stupid antivaxxer came with het sick baby to my son's school. He already had a first shit of the vaccine and the school offered an advanced second shot because thanks to this idiot, 10 kids fell sick, one ending in hospital.
Anti-vaxxers are evil people. No other words for them. Evil, evil people, who are responsible for this kids death.
Imagine being born to parents who refuse to vax you and end up dying because of their negligence. I guess this will happen more and more before people take vaccines seriously again.
If that kid had any siblings they should be taken under protective custody.
Hopefully the parents learn something and don't continue to try and talk other people into killing their children too. Asshats.
They won’t. Anti-vaxxers are so delusional. They’ll find a way to spin it in their minds so they don’t feel like it’s their fault
They never learn.
So the sad lesson they learned was that in order to have "preferred natural immunity" (borrowing a phrase from the covidiots), you still have to survive the actual disease. I've met and known a few people who don't seem to understand this part AT ALL.
I wonder if that lesson sinks in, especially come September when they're mourning instead of sending their kid off to his first day of school.
Anti Vax morons should have their kids seized by CAS. This is no different than having parents who are violent, abusive, addicts, etc.
Charge the parents
Something other than just anti-vax sentiment is going on. Are kids no longer getting their MMR boosters at school? And don't kids have to have proof of MMR vaccination to attend public school in Ontario?
A July report from Public Health Ontario previously showed that vaccination rates for measles have also slipped in recent years. For example, in Toronto, the percentage of seven-year-olds fully vaccinated for measles dropped from 80.2 per cent in the 2019-2020 school year to 38.9 per cent in the 2021-2022 school year.
If only there was a. Vaccine , oh wait
Neglect is the word, neglect.
Way to go, anti-vaxxers. You just killed a kid. 👏 We have something called a vaccine that would have ensured this didn't happen, you pathetic fucktard troglodytes. You were the kids who were failing Science class, and you just abetted in the manslaughter of a child. Be proud of your ignorance. You truly are specimens of stupidity.
The parents should be held responsible.
Shame on these parents. You carry that burden FOREVER.
I hope the parents are held accountable
You are meant to get your first dose of the MMR vaccine at 12months, and the second at 18months. This kid was under 5...and in any normal world they would have been vaccinated against this...
These parents are fucking GHOULS for not having their child vaccinated and should be held accountable for their passing.
I would bet that these people live in Oxford County.
America's little sister at it again with monkey see money do. Someone should separate those two.
If you won't vaccinate your children, you should have them taken away. This is absolutely ridiculous to be happening in 2024
5 children under 9 have been hospitalized. I hope their idiot parents are reimbursing the Ontario taxpayers.
I feel bad about the kid, but fuck the parents.
Fire them to the fucking sun, wastes of space.
People starving and living in horrible conditions, wanting a better life, and we have these spooge-bags deciding not to vaccinate their kid, and finding out why we have vaccines.
Jesus F Christ!
Thanks conservatives!
Unvaccinated kids dying of preventable illnesses like this should put the parents in jail. Unless there's an ACTUAL legitimate medical reason they can't get vaccinated. This is so beyond unnecessary. It's infuriating.
No matter how much these shit bag parents hate themselves, blame themselves, regret their decisions... It's not enough. Your own child's blood on your hands over stupid bullshit. I hope they never sleep soundly again
Stupid fucking parents!!! Completely avoidable death. Parents should be punished criminally
thanks . . . mom . . . dad for making a crampy decision . . . that ended my life.
This is awful. I hope the parents are getting some kind of criminal charge. Killing their own 5 year old child and endangering their peers. What on earth goes through these people's minds? Abhorrent selfishness.
His blood is on Doug fords hands pushing anti vaccine anti science garbage
Criminally Negligent Homicide (if not 1st Degree Murder, given the malice and forethought it takes to NOT vaccinate!)
Some people should not be allowed to have children. Holy shit. Completely preventable…
Not sure who would be surprised. Non vaccinated kid
Parents are probably anti-vaxxers.
Very sad a child has died. The parents will remember choices have consequences. I’m gonna trust the experts not some Facebook anti vaccine group who got their credentials from the back of a readers digest.
I bet his parents were vaccinated. Boneheads
That's a shitshow.
Thanks clownvoy! 🤡
Only the beginning.
The numbers of idiots who are anti-vax now have swelled. So these idiots who have had babies in the last four years and didn't have their kids vaccinated will be getting seriously ill in the next several years.
Holy shit people what did the COVID shot do? And what do actual vaccines do? See the difference? Fuckin dumbasses
Start vaxing your children
Vaccines are literally the reason w could resume normal lives. If the majority of the population didn’t get the vaccines available, we would all be needing to lock down or die at a young age. Honestly, vaccine deniers are exhausting.
They need to stop setting the social media mob on the parents. This happened during Covid as well. Leave out pertinent details pretending it is about "confidentiality". They do this to scare other parents straight. Hamilton has very few Christian anti-vaxxers for e.g. but the mob suggests they must be in that category.
“The child, who was under the age of five, was not immunized against the virus, according to the report”
