Measles case tied to Asbury University revival
LEX 18 ^ | 24 February 2023 | Audrey Fowler

FRANKFORT, Ky. (LEX 18) — State health officials announced Friday that a person who attended an Asbury University revival service has a confirmed case of measles.

Officials say the person is a Jessamine County resident and attended the revival on February 18. No other information will be given due to privacy concerns.

“Anyone who attended the revival on Feb. 18 may have been exposed to measles,” said Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH). “Attendees who are unvaccinated are encouraged to quarantine for 21 days and to seek immunization with the measles vaccine, which is safe and effective.”

And, as I recall no one ever died from any of those diseases

450-500 kids/year.

“ What better way to break up a Christian gathering than to spread rumors of a contagious health threat.”

Why, YES! No other coverage by the mainstream media of these events, other than to show concern that the events are ‘disease spreaders???’ Gotta stop these Christian revivals somehow! How utterly transparent their motives are.

I didn’t bother to look-up the data because the incidence of deaths (when I was a kid) was apparently so insignificant as to not raise alarm among the 150 million, or so, population of 1950s America!

Wow, took till #7 to get a rational response.

Yes, as kids we got all these diseases and lived.

Vaccinations have the downside of forcing all subsequent generations to also be vaccinated.

Yes, everyone who gets the measles dies. I’m the only one who survived. Oh, and my sisters, brother.....My brother, aged 65, is going to die any day now from the mumps he got as a child.

Fear porn.

My brother at age 12 developed meningoencephalitis as a result of the Mumps. He seemed to be getting over the Mumps but then fell ill again with a high fever, lethargy and confusion. He fell into a coma for several days and was not expected to live. A priest was even called to administer Last Rites.

He did recover but spent nearly 2 months in the hospital and undergoing intensive physical therapy as he lost all coordination and was unable to walk, speak clearly or even feed himself for a time. He also lost nearly half his body weight.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. I had measles, and chickenpox...never got mumps. Every generation has it’s challenges.

People used to catch measles, chicken pox. Etc. Anf it wasn’t news worthy.

But now fear of getting sick can be used to exact full control and manipulation. Like a horrible movie.

P.s. as a kid, some of us didn’t mind getting these to miss school.

So what exactly is the problem?!

The problem is those pesky Christians gathering together using those hideous rights called free association and freedom of religion. It’s their sneaky way of getting together and saying bad things about Biden and the government. They are only using God as an excuse to plan an insurrection. We know disease will put the fear of God (trite saying intended) into those people so this won’t happen again. (So a leftist would say).

As a catholic you utterly failed to show a humble spirt and charitable heart.

Given your response what exactly was demonstrated for the fruits of the spirit?

How many people do you think you will bring to the Lord with such posts, care to explain how you are demonstrating Christs spirit in your replies?

You may want to revisits your faith’s beliefs. You have had a recent Pope and current Catholicism does not teach that only Catholics can find salvation. Such mockery as you exhibit does not serve the spirit of Christ.

Maybe several unvetted illegal aliens attended the festivity.

I am nearly 80 and I had all the above mentioned diseases as a kid. I just don’t know how I survived. Maybe I have good genes?

This is a nothing burger. Most people have had the measles vaccine, so an outbreak would not happen. The small minority of people there who did not get the vaccine probably number less than five. Its just media pumping up the infectious disease scare once again.

Ok. If you would stop and read the post I replied to then you would not be so righteous. Unfortunately many just throw negative responses without full picture. That’s fine.

Oh my gosh. You are unaware of how you get the vaccine. No wonder over a million have dropped dead from Covid majority republicans. We clearly need an education on how COVID vaccines are administered. This post you wrote is frightening.

I suggest you reread the string you just referenced, you began it all mocking a revival, took umbrage when your mockery was pointed out, then claimed a near cultish level of righteousness as being in the only one true faith in quite an arrogant manner.

Now you would feign something of a victim status implying people do not bother to understand an issue, leading to ill posted negative messages. Now you assert others were being self righteous when in fact you tossed out the “I am in the only true religion” statement.

There is a form of self righteousness here but not where you are looking.

You are showing yourself to be a truly horrid person. My wife is a Nurse ( like i believe you claim your daughter to be, certified ICU, Peds , Orth, Med Surg, to name a few and now working Recovery and Addiction. She has decades in High acuity hospitals and witnessed an attempt to claim covid to get drugs for free for a patient. She saw first hand the fact hospitals were financially incentivized to claim covid deaths even if the cause of death was anything else, all they needed to have was covid when they died, the real cuase did not matter. Her personal experiences along with several Drs we know have shown us that the vaccine and covid has been nothing like how the government nor people like you claim!

You heartlessly toss out a statement about dead republicans while earlier claiming to be a Catholic, you sir are demonstrating quite the opposite of any G-dly character

My god. You are a mess. My daughter is in 9th grade. You are getting rather stalkish. You are saying things that can’t be possibly said by me. How dare you accuse a 9th grader of being a nurse. Are you delusional? Please provide proof of your slander of a minor.

Sorry, my mistake, I was thinking of another poster who said his daughter was a nurse, I apologize for that.

Also, that you consider calling a 9th grader a nurse slander, I apologize as well, not for what you consider but for myself mistakenly saying so. I did not mean to call any youth a Nurse and accept that it is wrong to label any as such.
