Written by the windsoriteDOTca News Staff on the 24th of July, 2025. Below is NOT the full article. Support local and independent news -- it can be as simple as merely visiting the website.

"The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit has sent reminders to school-aged children in WEC who are overdue for the important measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine."

"'Wastewater surveillance is one of the tools we use to monitor public health trends,' said Dr. Mehdi Aloosh, Medical Officer of Health. 'Although clinical measles cases remain low, the presence of the virus back in the wastewater suggests that we must remain vigilant.'

WECHU is offering catch-up immunization clinics throughout the summer to help families in need of support with immunizations. "

Get you and your kids vaccinated people. We've been gifted with modern medicine which can spare us the worse illnesses that plagued humanity since time immemorial. You piss your ancestors off when you squander it.

RIP to measles being officially eradicated in 1998 in Canada. We have grown complacent and some people need to learn the hard way why these diseases suck and ruin lives. It's just a shame that the consequences of their actions are not limited to only harming themselves. I do not envy immunocompromised people in the anti-medicine culture that is being fostered across the world lately.
