So you think children who have no choice in whether or not they get vaccinated should suffer and die because they have idiots for parents?

Requirements for transplants are not a refusal of care, it's triage to make sure that the limited supply of donor organs go to the people most likely to survive after transplant. Weight requirements are also linked directly to survival rates... we don't do surgery on people who are likely to die from it.

Are we sure they're playing dumb, and aren't just actually dumb?

Disagree. I understand the sentiment, but would you deny cancer care for a smoker? Diabetes care for someone who is obese? Casts for someone who fell out of a tree? We can't start denying heath care based on someone's poor life choices.

There are 224 cases in Canada as of March 1st. There are 222 cases in the US as of March 6th.

The US population is nearly 9 times the size of our population, but their numbers are on par with ours. Anti-vaxxers in Canada are a huge problem.

I don't believe for a minute he actually tore it up. He's a populist, so he says things that people want to hear, even if those things are lies.
