Hey Canada, sorry we're all just a little
paranoid here in Vancouver because of a measles outbreak.
That's right, MEASLES.
It's 2019, I should be worried about modern
diseases like acute identity theft, not some
disease that Oliver Twist was worried about!
The outbreak started thanks to this yutz,
whose unvaccinated son caught the measles
on a trip to Vietnam, then brought it back
and infected his brothers and his classmates.
Back then, you gotta think like ten, twelve
years ago there was a lot of debate on the
MMR vaccine, lots of drama around it, so we
were a little bit concerned.
Ah yes, I remember this debate.
On one side you had every health professional
in the world, and on the other side you had
one doctor who was so widely discredited he
was disbarred...
...and Jim Carey.
I mean who are you supposed to believe!?
Look I can sympathize, I love 'Dumb and Dumber,'
and I hate getting needles.
This is what it looks like every time somebody
tries to give me one.
Ah no! No!
There's a petition that's been signed by 23,000
people here in Vancouver, trying to make vaccines mandatory.
Now I don't think they should be mandatory
per se, but I think that if you abstain from
the vaccines, you should have to abstain from
other technologies that science endorses.
You wanna go on a vacation like that Dad in
Vietnam?
Hope you like paddling.
Also you're free to share your opinion, but
no using the internet.
From now on, you'll have to use a cardboard
sign and the power of street performance.
Also, this is your ambulance in the future,
if you're an anti-vaxxer.
For 22 Minutes, I'm Graham Clark.
