Ont. rubella outbreak described as 'God's will'
CTV.ca News Staff
The results of a rubella outbreak in southwestern Ontario are "God's
will," a community leader said Friday, while health officials stressed
the need for vaccinations.
There are now 90 cases of rubella, also known as German measles, in the
town of Norwich in southwestern Ontario.
One of the cases involves a pregnant woman.
The outbreak started at the town's Rehoboth Christian School. Many
students there belong to a religious denomination that doesn't endorse
or objects to vaccinations.
About 60 per cent of the elementary and high school pupils in the town
have not been vaccinated. And about 340 students without protection
have been excluded from the school until the outbreak is over.
Martien Vanderspek, the school's principal, told CTV News people are
prepared to accept the consequences of not getting vaccinated.
Rubella is a highly contagious virus that can cause such symptoms as
fever, headaches and joint pain in children.
The disease can hit adults even harder, and poses the greatest health
risk to pregnant women.
Miscarriage is common, while the threat of congenital rubella syndrome
hangs over women infected early in the fetus' development.
Babies born with the condition can be deaf or blind, or suffer from
cognitive disabilities or damaged hearts.
"Whatever happens, they have a place in our community if it God's will
a handicapped child is born, Vanderspek said.
"I'm sure our community will do its best to make it feel at home and
provide the best environment for it."
Also on Friday the local county's medical officer of health, Dr. Doug
Sider, warned the number of infected could go up.
"Yes, we expect to see further waves of infection," he told CTV's
Kitchener, Ont., CKCO.
Earlier in the day, Ontario's Health Minister George Smitherman spoke
to Canada AM about the need for vaccination in the face of the
outbreak.
"It is my understanding that they take the view it is a matter of
personal choice," Smitherman said.
"It is a bit unfortunate. Something that's entirely preventable and
otherwise could have been entirely eliminated from communities, isn't,"
he said, "because some people choose not to take advantage of
vaccinations."
Sider told CTV Newsnet his office is working hard to understand the
belief systems that may have contributed to the outbreak.
He said his office is "looking at any and all ways to dialogue with the
community to try to get them to understand the extraordinary
circumstance that we're in with the outbreak."
He said getting vaccinated is likely the key.
"If we can get vaccination levels up, it's probably the most durable
way to bring the outbreak under control and prevent future outbreaks."
Sider also said he recognized "the need to be respectful of and
sensitive to" issues of religious belief.

If the whole world converted to Voo Doo it would be a peaceful world. Just
kidding!
People have been blaming and justifying harmful actions of their religions
since it's beginning. When you lived in a small comminity with one religion
it worked fine. Now that we have a global comminity and know about ALL the
religions we need much more tolerance than when our entire world was a small
community. How do you live by your isolated constricted religion and have a
worldly tolerance of others religions? That is the struggle that will go on
forever with every religion trying to be the only one and the best one. The
tighter peoples hold on to their religions and the more vigorous they fight
to enforce it the closer we get to war. The only way to world peace is to
let go of antiquated religions and take a more logical approach to
co-existance.

Nope, the world needs to convert to my religion, I call it "Doo Doo."

In the old days, it was mostly justifying. Today, we do more blaming.

It will never happen. We're primates and are hardwired for tribal social
structures. Religions and cults are constructed to satisfy our tribal needs.
Sports team fans exhibit the same behavior. We must belong to some
group, and we must fight against other rival groups, we've always done
this all the way back into our origins in prehistory. Once one religion dies
another will rise up to take its place. We're doomed to be pathetic morons
forever, we'll never change. We'll fight other cults all the way to the end.
Primate behavior is really ridiculous but we're stuck with it. Horses and
dogs exhibit much better moral behavior than we do.

Intellect should have no problem overriding primate behavior. Schools were
designed to train you on how to use your intellect. Something went wrong
with the schools. Now all they produce is money-grabbing greedy assholes.

There's already a "Doo Doo" religion, better known as Christianity.

It's mostly the fundamental whackjobs that are to blame. Co-existence
between fundamental zealots is impossible. When you preach that your
religion is the one true religion, how can you live in the vicinity of
another zealous fundamental group that preaches theirs is the one true
religion? The only solution is to consult the bible for guidance and
kill them, as god would.

This attitude is revolting. A stupid idea is a stupid idea; the
amount of passion behind it doesn't magically make it sensible or worthy
of respect.
