Interesting podcast about the measles outbreaks in Alberta and Ontario. I got:
- The outbreaks are primarily among unvaccinated Mennonite communities.
- Heard immunity (thanks to vaccination) among the general population has prevented exposures from turning into infections.
- Provincial health ministries are avoiding talking about Mennonites because they want to avoid stigmatization.
- Provincial health ministries aren’t holding regular briefings for political reasons.
But it’s a podcast (and I’m too lazy to read the transcript) so maybe I got some of that stuff wrong.
Edit: Fixed the link to the transcript. Thanks @[email protected]!
That transcript is for “Is Alberta headed towards a separation vote?”. The transcript you want should be at the link below, but it looks like it’s empty.

Doh! Thanks! I’ll update the link.
FWIW the link you provided has text for me on desktop.
