    No. Most of the people contracting measles have been members of the groups I mentioned.

      Alright, according to the WHO, you’re incorrect on Amish. If you’re going to blame religious communities in particular for contracting and spreading measles, you want Mennonite and orthodox Jew. If you want to blame religious communities for promoting anti-vax rhetoric at the national level, you go evangelical specifically and Christian generally. And if you want to surmise what all of these have in common, it’s being republican and conservative in “values.”

        From the articles I’ve read, particularly as it pertains to Ontario, is that the problem is primarily in Mennonite and Amish communities.

          I have no idea if you’re being downvited by Americans who are out of the loop but yes, it’s mostly Mennonites and Amish folks in Canada
