It’s hard to keep up with Canada’s measles outbreak. Last month, the federal health database reported more than 1,500 cases across the country. More recent stats from Public Health Ontario counted more than 1,400 cases and 100 hospitalizations in Ontario alone. Of these, some 70 per cent are in Southwestern Ontario, 95 per cent of patients are unvaccinated and most all can be traced back to last fall, where a large Mennonite gathering in New Brunswick unknowingly became a superspreader event that’s still unfolding today.
