I was talking to a younger person (late 20’s?) at church who was under the impression that a measles outbreak is like the return of the plague. She was flabbergasted when I told her that if one of my siblings caught measles or chicken pox my mother put us all in the room together so we’d all get it and get it over with.

So the former Soviets are targeting the US with bio weapons carried by children? Do they not vaccinate in Ukraine?

The Government wants to condition us to take injections at their demand.

What their ultimate purpose in this might be is chilling to contemplate.

If 300 is the passenger and crew capacity, it’s not that much of a cruise ship. The smaller they are, the earlier claustrophobia sets in.

From what I read they had a big anti-vax movement like much of the rest of the world, a war that interrupted vax supply and the possibility that the USSR vax was subpar and less effective. They’ve had 15,000 cases and 7 deaths already this year.

When there's any threat of a contagious disease which could spread, it's not fun for anyone. The rules get very strict about handling food. Everything has to be super-sanitized. Anyone who shows any symptoms of disease can't leave their cabin. (I was on a cruise some years back where it was close to the threshold for Norvo epidemic. Everyone was terrified of showing symptoms of anything and being locked in their cabins)

This was a crew member who has measles. they live in close quarters and fraternize with each other, a lot. That raises a lot of red flags about how well crew members are checked.

The cruise I took in November had a one-day stop (ie: six hours or so) in St. Lucia. The port city, except the cruiser's shopping area, was disgusting. Open sewers, poorly maintained, slummy living, unpleasant unregulated traffic, beggars. It would be awful if a measles epidemic spread in that population (which they try to keep cruisers from noticing).

That's my thought. Gov now has a much more complete list of people and their vaccination history. Some places have already passed laws requiring vaccination. That's a giant step down the slippery slope.

It is the Church of Scientology's private cruise ship the Freewinds.

St. Lucia Health officials quarantine cruise ship using a confirmed measles case

Why didn't NBC cover that and claim the ship was "undisclosed?"

This article was spot on. Code name for the cruise ship is Leopard.

Are Scientologists anti-vaxxers?

Funny they talk about measles all the time, while they import a polio-like disease which paralyzes children.

“The Freewinds is the exclusive training center for OT VIII (Operating Thetan Level 8), the highest level of Scientology and the last of the published OT levels. Members of the Church of Scientology who have reached the highest levels must receive their training on the Freewinds, as the Church does not deliver this service anywhere else.[14]”

Seems it couldn’t happen to a nicer target... (someone has to say it.)

Strikes me as strange, specifically how the media is reporting it. There seems to be an element of never let a crisis go to waste along with some covering up. How many media execs are members of the church?

What the article fails to mention, and I am sure you can figure out why, is that the Cruise Ship in question is the MV Freewinds.

It is owned by... wait for it... The Church of Scientology.

Interesting. My wife and I sailed on the MS Boheme in the early 80’s. It was our first cruise. It is amazing how cruise ships have changed since that time.
