No. This is not a new problem. Measles, mumps, whooping cough, etc. are all problems that were basically eradicated in the mainstream population. But the Mennonites, Hutterites, etc. are having outbreaks. If you have stacks of dry tinder, you're gonna have a fire. The only question is when.

The "immigrants" that spread this one were Ontarians visiting New Brunswick and bringing it back to Ontario. Do you want vaccine passports at provincial borders now?

Here's a case where a Mennonite kid who brought it home after catching it from an unvaccinated 9-year-old from the UK while on a trip to Disneyland (see p 251). Are you blaming that on "immigrants"? TBH - your comment presents as nothing more than lazy racism.

The Anabaptist communities are well aware that they are at special risk when the whole community opts-out. What's changed is they are starting to travel and build a truly international community. Once you combine international travel and a vaccine-hesitant community, you're going to have trouble. Immigrants have nothing to do with this.

Somebody could have visited Canada from one of the US outbreaks or vice versa. All one needs is a spark. And if you're relying on herd immunity, it's polite and safer to be part of the herd.
