Push it out to sea and leave it there

This is not the cruise ships fault, they now have to work to contain the problem. The 100 people that are infected are the problem, no matter what you believe, stop using it as an excuse, these 100 people should have had their shots long ago, people having measles in 2019, Stupid

TheWarMonitor What happened to “thoughts and prayers” curing everything?

It’s Scientology’s ship let LRon help them

This why I don't do cruises.

Vaccine propaganda to push mandatory vaccine bills!!! Resist!!

I dunno what’s worse: a plague of measles or scientologists? They should probably scuttle it just to be safe. ScientologyTheAftermath

If they're Morons tell them no. Go ask God for help!

Scientologists... No one will miss them.

TheWarMonitor When did the vaccine start treating the measles? That’s new.... 🧐🙄 I also took note of who owns the ship....

MMR is a live shedding vaccine, I’m sure all will go just as intended.

Sounds like an amazing getaway.

It’s a little too late if you’re already infected.

A Scientology Cruise ship.😂🤣😂🤣. They don’t believe in being vaccinated, but they believe in an evil lord named Xenu.

Who owns the ship?

Isn't kind of late for that?

LeahRemini wait they can’t have modern medicine can they?
