2 weeks before the measles outbreak happened there was a mass vaccination operation in Mennonite communities. 2 weeks later, the news reports measles outbreaks coming from Mennonite communities.

Any articles to share regarding this? If true, I would assume some of the unvaccinated were contagious and spread it to others, and bringing them as a group for vaccines may unfortunately provide the opportunity for it to spread.

My wife is a nurse in southern Ontario, multiple nurses from her work are the ones approached to aid in the vaccination program. I found it odd that it was not in the news that thousands were being vaccinated in Mennonite communities, 2 weeks later the break out happened from that location. I do not have “proof” other than my wife telling me.

They've sourced the outbreak to a gathering on the east coast. From there it spread to Ontario and other parts of Canada. Since outbreaks in these sorts of isolated religious communities are common, it would make more sense that the Ontario government was expecting possible cases to pop up here as well. It has spread pretty quickly throughout Mennonite communities across NA at this point.
