And Canadians seemed like such nice, intelligent people. Is there a vaccine for whatever they have?
If there is, our GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE SYSTEM will pay for it.
But, yeah… we have idiots in our country, too.
…actually, someone in those comments came up with a brilliant idea. Call it Wi-Fi therapy. Then we can just let the chrystal healing nuts duke it out with the radiation paranoids. Two birds, one Wi-Fi type thing.
Let’s find a new agey forum and start throwing out statement like:
“There’s obviously a clear correlation between symptom occurrences and prolonged absence from the healing electromagnetic (everyone knows magnets are magic, and heal people) fields emitted by the Remote-Healing terminals in schools. It’s only after the effects wear off children show signs of illness; even a short stay in schools providing Remote Healing capability ensures health for the whole following day at home.” Or something like that… ought to keep both groups of hysterics happy fighting among themselves.
Oh, and start an online business (businesses) to cater to both crowds. Buy a load of antistatic bracelets, throw a plastic sleeve over them;
red for “protecting you from harmful microwave radiation”,
blue for “maximizing the intake of healing electromagnetic waves”.
Or make them into headbands with cute ribbons for the girls, and ball-caps for the boys.
There’s big money in pseudo-scientific nonsense. 
‘Government by Ideas’?
Yeah, but it makes them all autistic as fuck.
Funnny that. And kids are always so upset when they have to be sent home from school for getting ‘sick’ too.
The Wi-Fi is also making the middle school kids horny and giving them acne. Really, it’s the only logical explanation.
Tell the kids that if the Wi-Fi gets turned off, they’ll have to get through the whole day without access to the Internet. See if their health doesn’t improve.
This just in: Kids don’t enjoy school. Film at 11.
So, no downside for the rest of us then?
I seem to remember schools being a “hotbed of pestilence” because the other nasty kids (never me of course) would get sick and bring their diseases to school, coughing and sneezing at everyone else (never me of course).
The OP’s cite just proves that stupidity doesn’t stop at the border. That is all.
I saw that story on the news recently (and just about sprained my eyes rolling them); I did like the representative from Health Canada’s response; to paraphrase, she said, “Don’t be so stupid. Wi fi doesn’t make kids sick.”
There is nothing in the world worse than sitting in a silent class room, trying to take an important test, and suddenly becoming acutely aware of every cough, sniffle, and other signs of illness around you.
Hmm, I did spell that wrong, didn’t I? I blame wi-fi exposure.
Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever actually LOL’d before…
Within 10 minutes of this being on the evening news, my mum worriedly told me about this, to make sure that I knew to steer clear. I’m almost 24. FML.
Oh, and then she asked me what a “Wi-fi” was, and why I couldn’t just use the wireless internet on my laptop instead.
Pft. Amateurs. Us 'Mericans still know how to do it - sue your neighbors for using anything invented post-1970.
Actually, I think there’s an upside. Aren’t the autistic pretty quiet?
Every child is a hotbed of pestilence. Schools would make a decent quarantine facility, except that the kids are allowed to leave. I’ve been meaning to talk to the school board about this.
