This reporter have a very special talent in explaining any case. What a beautiful ton.. well done CBC.
-
Andrew Chang is my Canadian, chill John Oliver
-
I don’t understand why people don’t want to protect their children. Is the science on this one not crystal clear. Have we learned nothing?
-
Not only should all children/people be immunized but every single immigrant. Legal or not.
-
I adore this and every segment. However, today, the background music is so loud, I can't hear what Andrew is saying. Is a producer mad at him? Crystal in Canada 🇨🇦
-
About That is an amazing program. You all do a great job. I'm grateful for this segment #VaccinesSaveLives
-
The background music is always too loud. Is it possible to turn it down so that the voice can be heard better actually hard for people who have difficulty hearing to or for people who are distracted by such things to focus on what the host is saying.
-
"Let it rip....!" That's the sad state of our public conscience, where scientific progress is rejected in favor of myth and magic.
-
Suspend the kids if they cant provide doctors exemption.
-
The measles traveled 30 metres up and infected 2 people? How could they know that? Those 2 people could have caught it from anyone around them.
-
I had it when I was 16 the way I suffered 😩 is so bad
-
The anti-vax movement has done a ton of damage. Get your shots and make sure your kids get their shots too!!
-
This report needs to go on repeat, every day, until those who oppose vaccination get the message.
-
I thought my kids had measles, but it was just strep throat. Thank God. My 5 and 12 year old had bumps all over their bodies. I was so scared, but the doctor did a test on the 2 with bumps. 😊
-
It should be possible for people to have the mumps, measles and rubella vaccines as separate vaccines, instead of having all 3 at the same time. Uptake would probably go up, for those who are worried about getting all three at the same time. Also it would be useful to have a graph of effectiveness of vaccine versus dangerousness of infection, so that people can prioritize the most effective vaccinations for the most dangerous infections.
-
If you want the antivax to listen, you cannot interview infectious disease experts. You'll need to interview a plumber, a pastor, two AV authors, and for legitimacy, someone with a PhD in psychology. Maybe just interview JBP, as he's an expert on everything, including immigration policies.

In before Del Bigtree and other loons.
-
Measles was supposed to be extinct. Where did this person come from??.
-
There's a reason the Salk's Institute is a temple for sun worship.
-
I am almost 74 yrs or age. When I was a kid we all got measles, chicken pox, mumps. I don't recall people dying. We developed immunity and went on with life never to have these diseases again.
