Scientology Ship Quarantined in St. Lucia After Measles Diagnosis

The Freewinds is currently docked in St. Lucia, its 300 crewmembers and passengers locked inside; the boat served as the location of Tom Cruise's 42nd birthday bash.

A confirmed case of measles aboard a Church of Scientology cruise ship has resulted in a quarantine at the port of St. Lucia in the Caribbean.

The 300 passengers and crewmembers aboard were ordered to remain inside the ship after a female crew member was found on Monday to have contracted the disease.

"We thought it prudent that we quarantine the ship," Dr. Merlene Fredericks-James, the island nation's chief medical officer, said in a statement posted on Wednesday to YouTube.

"We have been listening to the alerts from the Pan American Health Organization. There are outbreaks of measles [in the United States] largely because persons have not taken the vaccine," Fredericks-James said.

Saint Lucia is a souvereign island nation in the eastern Caribbean, about 350km north of Venezuela. It covers an area of about 617km² and has a population of roughly 170,000.

This is where fake news gets us. Preventable diseases killing people once again.

Maybe this makes me a horrible person, but this makes me laugh a bit.

We had a confirmed case in the county - and of course that person was at Endgame exposing hundreds of theater patrons last week.

"Take this injection and you won't get this disease. The risks are insignificant compared to the disease."

"No, because I saw something on YouTube."

Sometimes evolution just doesn't work quickly enough.

Scientology gets a bad wrap in my opinion.

It would be funny if it wasn't endangering innocent children and literally everyone these bastards come into contact with. As it is, it's tragic and terrifying.
