As expected, Canada has lost its measles-free status because of the long-running outbreak there. With it goes the #measles elimination status of the entire zone of the Americas, the only division of the #WHO to ever have achieved measles elimination. https://www.statnews.com/2025/11/10/measles-canada-americas-paho-who-elimination-status/

@HelenBranswell Absolute madness. We have forgotten that individual rights have to be balance with societal rights. Why do parents have the right to endanger the lives of their children but the state has no right to enforce vaccinations?
