"A Texas megachurch whose leaders have linked vaccines to autism is now asking its members to get immunizations or stay quarantined after an outbreak of measles was traced to the congregation."

1. Never really understood why fundamentalists have a problem with medicine.

From their own point of view - in the Bible, St. Luke was a physician.

So it shouldn't be a problem.

But I don't expect the right wing to be internally consistent.
