I'm sure that "Ave Maria University" is grounded on good science...

A measles outbreak at a private college in southwest Florida is raising new concerns about how quickly the virus can spread.

More than 40 cases have been reported at Ave Maria University, making it one of the largest measles outbreaks recorded on a U.S. college campus.

Experts say the situation shows how measles, once mostly seen in kids, is becoming a growing threat for college students who are not vaccinated.

. . .

Most colleges require proof of measles vaccination, which is usually given as part of the MMR shot that protects against measles, mumps and rubella.

However, many schools allow students to opt out for religious or personal reasons.

2. This . . . precisely this.

I guess their utterly pointless sickness pleases God, or supports freedom or something.

Maybe they could sacrifice a goat while they're at it.

5. Or maybe their "mission" is to get the disease and go out and proselytize.

(Am I being too suspicious?)
