WILLEMSTAD, Curacao — Authorities in Curacao on Saturday boarded a ship that arrived under quarantine to start vaccinating people to prevent a measles outbreak.
Curacao epidemiologist Dr. Izzy Gerstenbluth told The Associated Press that a small team is assessing more than 300 people aboard the ship, and that the process might take more than a day. Authorities worry people aboard the ship might have been exposed after a female crew member was diagnosed with measles after coming back from Europe. Gerstenbluth said she arrived on the Dutch Caribbean island of Curacao on April 17 and visited a doctor April 22 for cold symptoms. A blood sample was taken and sent to nearby Aruba, where officials confirmed it was measles on April 29, a day after the ship had departed for St. Lucia. Curacao health officials then alerted authorities in St. Lucia.
Symptoms include runny nose, fever and a red-spotted rash. Most people recover, but measles can lead to pneumonia, brain swelling and even death in some cases.
GluttenP What? The Thetans don't offer up herd immunity...you'd think with all the past lives there'd be some sort of experiential learning curve. ((sarcasm))
Curaçao should send this ship to miami
So. Now you take the ship to open water and sink her because the whole ship is contaminated with measles. Or wash everything from the ceilings to the walls to the floors on the ship.
Just put the boat back out to sea.
Vaccinations need to be mandatory. We don't live in the dark ages anymore. Disease's can be eradicated now! Smarten up!
So like 2 people get to leave.
Who carries their vaccination records with them?
I believe they're testing the power and reach of the ACLU.
Scientologists don’t believe in vaccines, so unless they received one before they joined the cult, they all need to stay on the ship! Too bad.
Somewhere David Miscavage is like 'No! They must'nt leave!'
