It’s official: Premier Danielle Smith can now call herself Queen of Measles.
And not just in Alberta. Try North America.
That’s right. Alberta now leads the continent in a preventable childhood disease that leaves at least two of every 1,000 infections with severe intellectual disabilities, pneumonia or hearing loss. Or dead.
Stunningly, Alberta has already recorded nearly half a dozen cases of measles present at birth in the province.
And every measles infection leaves a child with a disabled immune system, stripped of memory about how to fight other routine infections. As a result, any unvaccinated child who battles measles will probably be sicklier, possibly for years afterwards. Brazilian researchers recently found a high correlation between having measles and later dying of another infectious disease.
Queen of the measles, Queen of treachery, Queen of stupidity, Queen of ignorance…I could keep going, but let’s keep it short with a resounding fuck Danielle Smith :-)
Queen of putresence, boo!
