Had my measles back in '64, missed three weeks of school due to complications. I assume my immunity is hanging in there.

If you think about it, in Today’s Medically Overbilled USA, cost is an excellent reason not to provide any kind of emergency medical services to anybody. Also, the “It’s Gawd’s Will” argument. I had thought Americans had rejected these concepts long ago, but like the zombies you just can’t put down, they’re back.

I visited New York City a few years ago when certain Jewish neighborhoods were having measles outbreaks. I casually mentioned the trip to my doctor a few months later, and she suggested that I have an antigen test. And I had to get a measles vaccine at 59 years of age.

From the article:
For over three weeks, worshippers flew from across the country for the spontaneous event, it hosted 50,000 to 70,000 people, CNN affiliate WKYT reported.
From WKYT:
“And then God breathes his breath of
lifemeasles into a room it will just self-sustain for as long as people remainhumbleunvaccinated, remainunifiedinfectious.”
Natural selection.

I care less about the attendees and more about the unsuspecting people they come across that for whatever, non batshit crazy, reason haven’t had the vaccine.

Would it be evil to hope that some of these pilgrims travel back to Alaska and visit State Rep. Eastman and family?
Asking for a friend.

There is no way in Hell that an event for 50K to 70K attendance was spontaneous. And Wilmore, KY has a population of just under 6K, while Asbury College has an enrollment of 1,854. So 1) where did everyone stay, 2) who prepped for this amount of people, and the sanitation needs?
ETA : so I Googled and Wilmore is 30 minutes from Lexington…but still if attendees were staying in Lexington and nearby Nicholasville then residents of those cities need to be concerned as well.

It’s a 53-43 state, based on the 2020 presidential vote. A net gain of 40,000 Dem voters would flip that state.

That photo of Eastman makes him look like a young Alex Murdaugh. He clearly has Murdaugh’s compassion and honesty.

I’m willing to cut him a bit more slack- by his account he soured on him during a private conversation. He hasn’t dedicated his life to opposing him, true, but he hasn’t been promoting or profiting off him either.
I think these are important baby steps back towards a shared understanding of reality.

Eastman became the first and only Alaska legislator to have been censured twice.
And five will get you ten that he ain’t done yet.

Are you trolling? Just a few months ago Alaska rejected Palin in favor of the democrat Peltola, who now sits in the US House.
