Measles Outbreak Tied To Texas Megachurch
New submitter the eric conspiracy sends this quote from NBC:
"An outbreak of measles tied to a Texas megachurch where ministers have questioned vaccination has sickened at least 21 people, including a 4-month-old infant — and it's expected to spread further, state and federal health officials said. 'There's likely a lot more susceptible people,' said Dr. Jane Seward, the deputy director for the viral diseases division at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. ... All of the cases are linked to the Eagle Mountain International Church in Newark, Texas, where a visitor who'd traveled to Indonesia became infected with measles – and then returned to the U.S., spreading it to the largely unvaccinated church community, said Russell Jones, the Texas state epidemiologist. ... Terri Pearsons, a senior pastor of Eagle Mountain International said she has had concerns about possible ties between early childhood vaccines and autism. In the wake of the measles outbreak, however, Pearsons has urged followers to get vaccinated and the church has held several vaccination clinics. ... 'In this community, these cases so far are all in people who refused vaccination for themselves and their children,' [Steward] added. The disease that once killed 500 people a year in the U.S. and hospitalized 48,000 had been considered virtually eradicated after a vaccine introduced in 1963. Cases now show up typically when an unvaccinated person contracts the disease abroad and spreads it upon return to the U.S."
This is one of those situations I just don't understand people's thoughts.
The autism caused by vax was reported by a doctor doing research. So we should listen to doctors doing research like this, I can understand that part. He was proven to have fabricated the data for his research, we then should not listen to this doctor. I think these people never heard the second part, but you have so I understand that.
Now my question:
AWG research showed that man made CO2 was going to cause global warming, done by researchers (Phil Jones at the CRU). I understand that. He has admitted to falisifying data and deleting it to prevent peer review. You probably also know that. However, you probably also still listen to Phil's research and violently shout down anyone who says different.
Why is it one researcher who falsifies data should be ignored and you are an idiot if you listen to him, but a second researcher doing the same thing you would have to be an idiot to not listen to. I just can't figure that part out.
