What bullshit.
QuoteWhy did the Jewish people, why did they not die out during the plague?
Maybe because the whole Exodus story is a myth? Or maybe because they all washed their hands in bird blood? (Which is why a few million people could "escape" from Egypt so easily - because almost all of them died of avian flu before the escape?)
The scary things are 1) that people actually believe the crap that church is peddling and 2) that government leaders are so afraid of brushing up against religious sensitivities that they refuse to say "no, you can't put millions of strangers at risk of death".
I would say, thanks to conspiracy theories. Kenneth Copeland is a false teacher that calls himself a Christian, and I've run into this kind of thing a lot more outside the Church than inside. But you know how it goes. Anything that can be used to bludgeon Christians will be used, whether fully appropriate or not. Par for the course I guess...
"...In this outbreak, all the infected children in Tarrant County were being home-schooled, said Al Roy, a spokesman for the health department..."
I guess we can be glad for that, think how it might have spread if the poor kids weren't somewhat isolated from other kids. I wonder if it will cause anyone to re-examine that "no-vaccine" doctrine they believe in. :-k

"No True Scotsman"? Can't you at least come up with something that was new in
1913?
