Anti-vaccine campaign 'very concerning,' says Ontario's health minister

Ontario Deputy Premier Christine Elliott talks with journalists following Question Period at the Ontario Legislature in Toronto on Wednesday, August 1, 2018. TORONTO - Ontario's health minister says a large ad campaign urging Toronto residents to be wary of vaccinations is "very concerning."

The organization launched a massive ad campaign across Toronto last Thursday, with four messages set to rotate over more than 50 digital billboards for two weeks.

Since when did people being 'fully informed and educated about immunizations' become a THREAT to 'Public Health'? Last paragraph of this FakeNews Propaganda hit piece also tries to pin this on POTUS Trump? WTH? Perhaps AndreaHorwath could help to clarify this mess....

🤣 a joke..

That should be shut down. Endangering lives...

So I can't send pb to school (which i agree with) because I might cause illness or death, but a parent can send their unvaccinated child to school, not because of religious beliefs but because the Internet says vax are dangerous. makessense

Diseases are making a comeback because we skipped education and vaccination for a generation. Imagine if we skipped math for a generation!

Regardless of political parties I think we can all agree with Christine Elliot on this one.

You know what.... Let these parents figure out on their own.... hopefully they get both sides and see that one saves their child and other's lives.

. Anti-V's need to be shut down now. Their stupidity is putting all of us, and future generations, at risk. Can't get an MD on YTube

Ask the Vancouver dad if he now regrets not vaccinating his kids for measles because he read on the internet it causes autism. Poor kid has measles after going to Asia on vacation

Not getting vaccinated is like not wearing boots in a blizzard. Get your vaccinations people.

Health industry worried about people educating themselves first eh 🤔

This is a serious public health matter. People are getting sick because of such views. They must take action to counter such misleading claims.
