Besides, it's a pretty simple story.

People didn't get vaccinated.

People got measles in an isolated environment.

People got quarantined.

St. Lucia provided vaccines.

Ship left port.

The ship is holding a training-course to reach the 8th thetan-level. That's the highest rank of enlightenment you can get in Scientology. And it's f**king expensive.

Imagine booking a really expensive, extremely exclusive training-course on a luxurious ship... and then you get measles.

Will the Plague Ship be allowed to dock anywhere without full vaccination records for all crew and passengers?

On the ship:

*People with immunity from having the measles in the past
*People with immunity from being vaccinated
*People with measles on ship now immune
*Unknown number of non-immune people on ship
*No record of 'refused'.
