In 1950, before a vaccine available, more than 55,000 Canadian children contracted #measles. It was the leading cause of blindness, deafness and 'mental retardation.' And more than 100 children died. What is your point: That, in 2024, we should have more sick and dead children?

Does this match what’s happening in your hospitals?
Parents of BC. Please. Make sure your kids are up to date with their 2 doses of the MMR vaccine. Make sure *you* are up to date too. Measles is a vaccine preventable illness that’s not always benign & can have significant long term (and sometimes fatal) consequences. #bcpoli

The minister is accurate, if you need emergency care in Ontario and you don’t have valid OHIP, you will never be turned away. Every ED doc and surgeon I know has provided this care. The issue is that we provide this care for free. We don’t get paid for it. That’s the issue.
The Ontario Minister of Health continues a tradition of ER docs providing free medical care (to those OHIP eligible and not eligible) without valid OHIP - knowing our ethical and medicolegal framework and we will turn no one away. @OntariosDoctors @SylviaJonesMPP
