    4 visits per year in my experience, is a chickenshit waste of everyone's time. And I emphasize that a lot of psychs aren't experienced enough to charge more than a Big Mac.

    Granted, most don't have the resources for proper care in this field. A total revamp of the public system in this field warranted. But that's another book.

      How many anti vaxxers do you know that are immigrants? All the ones I know are entitled white people who think they know better than professionals.

      You truly think that we could be a nation full of people deciding to drop vaccines but as long as we didn't allow immigrants in, we'd be fine? Like those diseases would never show up without foreign people moving here.
      I think there are Measle hot spots where alot of Mexican Mennonites live in southern Alberta. But they aren't the only ones.

      My niece refused to get her boys vaccinated. Which disappointed me. But her choice. Hopefully the boys rethink that when they become the age of majority.

        I try to go once a month. Work covers about 5, plus a few more in the health spending department, so 4 would really put me right where I would need to have almost nothing out of pocket.

        Whether it's worth the cost... Guess it's better than nothing.

        I do think the mental health field needs to have more emphasis put on it than just the physical health field. Easier ability for people to access it with and without benefits, less stigma, better comfort in learning and picking what may work for you, etc.

        I can go to a walk in clinic for any physical issues I'm concerned about but it's not nearly so easy for mental health.

              I don’t know of any antivaxers but I’m pretty sure most 3rd world countries aren’t big on keeping up with vaccines.
              ignorant world be thinking immigrants have all their vaccines up to date.

                The Canadian measles outbreak began in NewBrunswick and made its way across Canada. The media knows in what type of identifiable group it occurred in but this is never revealed.

                  Doesn’t really matter where or what demographic it started in.

                  If there wasn’t a weakness in the general population in the form of people who aren’t vaccinated, it wouldn’t be the increasing issue it is.

                  Or did immigrants suddenly get LESS healthy than they’ve previously been so measles is only an issue now?
