Net income in the second quarter more than doubled to $10.4 billion, or $3.61 per share, from $5.18 billion, or $1.80 per share, a year earlier. Facebook said this month it would invest more than $1 billion to support content creators through the end of 2022. It is also on the offensive to attract top social media personalities and their fans, competing with platforms like Alphabet's YouTube and short-video app TikTok, which recently hit 3 billion global downloads. The push will be key to how Facebook, which hosts more than 1 million online "Shops" on its main app and Instagram, can grow its ad business amid the impact of Apple's changes. The world's largest social network has been ramping up its ecommerce efforts, which are expected to bring additional revenue to the company and make its ad inventory more valuable. This week, Toronto Public Health warned that a young adult in the city had the measles, after getting it while travelling."In the third and fourth quarters of 2021, we expect year-over-year total revenue growth rates to decelerate significantly on a sequential basis as we lap periods of increasingly strong growth," Chief Financial Officer Dave Wehner said in the earnings release. These stories are no longer uncommon there have been outbreaks of measles in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario in recent years. One reason is because Canada’s vaccination rates are too low. Vaccinations for diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus and chickenpox are lower, with rates in the 70th percentiles.Įighty nine percent of toddlers have been vaccinated for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) as well as me ningococcal diseases, and 91 percent have gotten the polio vaccine. That’s well below the 90 percent needed for herd immunity – where enough children are vaccinated to protect the whole community, including those with allergies or immune conditions that mean they can’t be vaccinated. And even MMR rates differ across the country, so there are pockets with much lower vaccination rates: Most schools in Vancouver have vaccination rates that are too low for herd immunity, with some as low as 15 percent.Įvery new vaccination story seems to be used as an opportunity to rail against anti-vaxxers, who are spoken about with the same disdain as flat earthers. Heated debates and pleas to vaccinate are happening everywhere from Facebook to the doctor’s office – but most of those conversations don’t change people’s minds. Vilifying people who don’t vaccinate doesn’t help the situation, says Joshua Greenberg, director of the School of Journalism and Communication at Carleton University and a researcher in this field. Nor does acting like they’re dumb or misinformed. “One of the misperceptions is that people don’t get their kids immunized because they simply don’t understand,” he says. But people who don’t vaccinate are often more educated than the general public, and better off as well. The good news is that researchers like Greenberg are looking into how to best talk to people who are reluctant to vaccinate their kids. #Facebook warns to decelerate mandates vaccine how to Stop thinking of all people who don’t vaccinate as anti-vaxxers Though we don’t have definite answers yet, they have unearthed some promising strategies. “The anti-vaxxer is a specter,” says Greenberg. #Facebook warns to decelerate mandates vaccine how to.
