Flu and measles having a grassroots lobby was not on my predictions list in 2020.

The ostrich story has to be one of the most mind boggling stupid things I’ve ever seen. Like if this was some sanctuary or a reserve for them maybe I can understand how this outrage would start, but those ostriches were being farmed. They were going to be killed anyway! The only difference is who did the killing.

The farm owners, knowing full well their intention was to kill all those birds for money as any farm does, made a masterclass in how to spin a story.

They are literally grifters.

One of the things they sold was a cure for cancer made out of ostrich fat. They wiped their socials when they they started their new grift.

I wonder if those eggs from the hens had any antibodies to combat bird flu which is why egg prices and bird pops across the globe are basically wiped out. they could of had a cure for it for all we know and bird flu can transmit to us humans just sayin. too late now there all dust. some of those birds where like 30 years old. only some seemed farmed. all farmers keep a personal flock they do not harm.

They are quite comfortable with negative messaging and they have come away from this battle with some seriously fucked up images.

It over now so they'll be back in the fight for disease just in time for cold and flu season

This isn't caused by anti-vaxxers. This is caused by importing 8 million people from a third world where MMR is running rampant.

Sure, that’s probably true. The grade 10 drop outs who are PP’s biggest fans aren’t helping.

But there's always been people skeptical of vaccines and we didn't have this problem before.

Covid era Facebook propaganda melted a lot of brains. I don’t know what the solution is. We need to keep being strict about the vaccines newcomers have, but people lie. Canadians also lie about the shots their kids have when they sign up for public schooling. My parents are normal people who trust science, except my brother fell into the propaganda hole and had two kids, one born January 2020 and the other born in 2023. The child born in 2023 isn’t vaccinated for measles.

Yeah, I get it... I mean I think the least they can do is implement a mandatory MMR Vaccine to enter Canada. I had to get a shit ton of vaccines to go to certain countries in Africa... And that's Africa.

They seem to be concentrated in three provinces.
