Megachurch and Measles Outbreak

snip:
"A Texas megachurch whose leaders have linked vaccines to autism is now asking its members to get immunizations or stay quarantined after an outbreak of measles was traced to the congregation."

Dang science and medicine--connecting the measle dots, at last.

From their own point of view - in the Bible, St. Luke was a physician.

So it shouldn't be a problem.

But I don't expect the right wing to be internally consistent.
