A cruise ship had to be quarantined in St Lucia's port after a case of measles was confirmed on board.
Health officials docked the cruise ship, which was carrying 300 passengers, on Monday after discovering a female crew member had contracted the disease.
According to NBC, officials declined to name the ship, but Sgt Victor Theodore from St Lucia's Coast Guard said it was called the 'Freewinds' - the same name as a 440-foot ship owned and operated by the Church of Scientology.

I heard about “cruise ship quarantined” yesterday. I didn’t realize it was a Scientology cruise. Does anyone know if Scientologists have an adverse position on vaccination?
Ping.
What a perfect place to spread an airborne disease. Air is pumped all through a ship.
From the CDC:
Transmission of Measles
https://www.cdc.gov/measles/about/transmission.html
Measles is a highly contagious virus that lives in the nose and throat mucus of an infected person. It can spread to others through coughing and sneezing. Also, measles virus can live for up to two hours in an airspace where the infected person coughed or sneezed. If other people breathe the contaminated air or touch the infected surface, then touch their eyes, noses, or mouths, they can become infected.
Measles is so contagious that if one person has it, up to 90% of the people close to that person who are not immune will also become infected.
Infected people can spread measles to others from four days before through four days after the rash appears.
It’s no laughing matter, Scientology or not.
Is this their “Sea Org” vessel? Anyone stupid enough to get themselves involved with this bunch of kooks probably deserves what they get. Their children don’t, though.
I wonder if their little machine provides a cure?
I’m curious about the whereabouts of his wife. She hasn’t been seen for a while.
I saw other articles saying those who had the measles vax were susceptible after a period of time...the best immunization is to catch measles as a kid as the vax appears to have a shelf life for its protection and that leaves adults that thought they were protected in danger...and like a number of one-time childhood diseases, measles is more dangerous to adults than children.
Then I won't speculate on whether it was rammed by another cult ship.
Hope it gets contained.
I don't doubt it. I caught the measles when I was 17, in the Army. I was hospitalized for three weeks.
Yes it is. According to their online literature, cruises on this ship are for religious purposes. Photos of it on a vessel tracking website show it in various Caribbean ports including Havana in the past few years and a Panamanian flag.
Who needs vaccines?
Here’s Rizza Islam, the Director of Scientology’s Citizen’s Commission on Human Rights, standing in front of a giant Scientology cross and beside a bust of L. Ron Hubbard, telling a gathering that polio can be cured with vitamin C.

Rizza isn’t a Scientologist. The COS gave him “Ambassador” status as part of their strange alliance with the NOI. His father is Rev. Alfreddie Johnson, an NOI activist who founded the World Literacy Crusade. The COS supports this group as well as the NOI. It’s crazy weird.

They should be able to cure the disease with their minds alone. Their view is doctors are quacks. Illness is a manifestation of a problem in your mind you need to clear.

shes alive but most likely sedated all the time.
Intravenous vitamin c can do amazing things for the body.
You can’t get the same effect from oral tablets or capsules.

“One ready to recognize disease as a mental state that is overcome by changing one’s thought can begin at once to bring about a cure. But he cannot do this through human means. True regenerative healing can only be brought about through scientific prayer.”
Oh, wait. I had too many tabs open at once. Sorry.
The above is Christian Science, not Scientology. My bad.
