Fucking anti science chuds following PP and his ilk.

Thanks Alberta!

Very proud that Canada has its own leper colony now.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ontario had the highest number of cases, thanks to the Mennonites.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

Ontario has the higher number of cases, thanks to - checks notes - THREE TIMES THE POPULATION.

Wait. Ontario has 25% more cases at 3.2x the population. Per capita - the only number that matters - the infection rate is almost 3 times as high in Alberta.

Mostly unvaccinated chucklefucks.

I voted against this UCP govt and will continue to do so. It's the best I can offer.

But also sorry. This place is terrible.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

By far this was led by rural hick Ontario.

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Incorrect.

Try per capita instead of total.

[–] rbesfe@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Not sure why you got downvoted, this is absolutely correct. Total cases this year is 2,393 in ON and 1,946 in AB, but rates per 100k population are 14.7 and 38.7 respectively

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

I got downvoted because the anti-vax mouth breathers don't like being called out on their shit. Like the other goon who posted a map of COVID vaccination rates trying to defend Alberta's measles rate. Dunning Kruger champions.

Ontario too. Ford Nation is antivax.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Oh yeah... there is no bad idea Ford won't copy

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You sure it's not the Mennonites?

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You think there's not a lot of overlap on the Venn diagram?

[–] rbesfe@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pretty sure Mennonites don't vote

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Confidently incorrect.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It’s easy to nblame the anti vax morons, but we also have to acknowledge the huge impact the family doctor shortages are having on this too.

Our healthcare systems have been gutted and this is the result.

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm not sure I follow.... you think it's required to have a family doctor in order to get vaccinated?

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That’s a contributing factor, yes

https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/measles-vaccination-coverage-1.7525234

In Ontario and New Brunswick, parents and caregivers are required to report student vaccine records to public health to enforce legislation like the Immunization of School Pupils Act. The act requires proof of immunization for students to attend school, with exceptions just for medical or ideological reasons.

During the height of COVID, Oda said limits on in-person appointments and the diversion of health care resources away from preventative care like immunization created barriers to routine childhood vaccinations. Now, lack of access to primary care providers continues to limit vaccinations even for willing families, she said.

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Thank you for the info

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Sorry, didn’t answer you, not required, but it causes people to not get vaccinated.

[–] villasv@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

I don’t disagree that if we had more and more present family doctors this would have been significantly mitigated.

But it’s primarily the fault of antivax morons. There are populations with fewer family doctors per capita that have higher vaccination rates.

[–] sixpaque@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Canada is such a diverse country today, with so many ethnic groups. Some believe in inoculations, and some do not. Mennonites were mentioned being one, but through all fairness, many other "religions" are not on board and will take their chances. COVID thinking was the same, and, we all know those results. However, for the good health of so many, to the few that oppose is a call I dont have to make. However, when I went to school, there was no question of why or should. It was mandatory. Period!!

Whose eco-friendly now? We're bringing back critically endangered diseases, what have the rest of you brought back from the brink of destruction?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Check out how us smarties down south dropped the ball on screw worm.

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is composting with human bodies Eco-friendly? Asking for a friend.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Depends on the scale.
