Measles is set to become endemic in Canada by the end of the year per Canada’s chief public health officer. Yet all we’re seeing are these little scattered “outbreaks” in most provinces and across the U.S. No epidemic here, no siree Bob. How alarmist of you.

NPR published a story 5 days ago about three high ranking Trump officials with clear ties to Hitler-admiring antisemites and it barely made a ripple.
