Hey everybody, hi friends, well from beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah, it's Thank God I'm Atheist, the podcast, I'm Frank Feldman, and I'm Dan Beacher, and

coming up on the show today, Dan, Christian nationalism or nationalist themselves, they're coming for your schools, they're coming for your kids, oh, yeah, it's getting ugly out there people, they are emboldened,

the Christian nationalists, they're kind of winning right now, and it's not good here in the United States, and they are definitely coming for your kids, see we got it, but yeah, a lot of work to do, yeah, I do, it's gonna be years, decades of work to undo there, yeah, yeah, yeah, this little moment, all right, Dan, yes, there has been a super spreader event, Dan,

oh, I know, at this point in the pandemic, we probably thought these stories were over, yeah, but nope, there was a large spiritual revival in Kentucky, yeah, I heard about that, I saw that on the news, the Kentucky health officials are warning people who attended this quote unquote spiritual revival,

to be on the lookout for any symptoms of measles, oh shit, measles, measles, you guys, yeah, because you know, these crazy Christians, there's a lot of anti-vaxxers amongst them, yeah, and those are anti-vaxxers that go back all the way back to when anti-vaxxers wasn't cool,

back in the days when they were like not vaccinating their children against diseases like measles, yeah, so now there's like people in their 20s going to big spiritual revivals and, or older, and they don't have their MMR vaccination amongst others, and yeah, you know, measles, it's one that like, you know, we haven't had to worry about,

like I don't even know, like if I started having symptoms that I would be like, I'd be like, oh, yeah, oh, I got the measles, right, yeah, but you know, there can be serious complications with measles, yeah, people can get pneumonia and encephalitis, holy crap, and the CDC, that's the Centers for Disease Control,

they are saying that there's roughly, by their estimation, there's 250,000 kindergarten children who are now vulnerable to getting measles, because of the steep drop-off in vaccinations that work currently experiencing in this country, it is unimaginable to me that this is a thing, we've been talking about anti-vaxxers prices, you know,

I mean, throughout the entire history of thank God I'm atheist, we have talked about anti-vaxxers, and no matter how much I talk about it, no matter how many accounts of that mentality that I read, I cannot, for the life of me, wrap my head around what these people think that they are achieving.

There's a bunch of propaganda out there on the web and whatever that says that it's bad and it'll get, and it's like, I got on in a Twitter fight just this morning with a guy who was like talking about MMR vaccines, they give everybody blood clots, and I was like, they don't, they give one of the different kind, you know, the Johnson & Johnson one,

gave blood clots to like two out of every million people, and that's bad, but it's not as bad as the results of COVID, which was much worse, but once these people start to think that, you know, oh, there's a chance of one really bad outcome, I mean, have you read what could happen if you take ibuprofen?

Yeah, they've been living with these kind of risks, and live with these kind of risks, and you walk out your front door, and you have one in one million risks or higher of nonsense happening to you throughout your day.

Yeah, right, I can't wait for way more common, getting hit by the bus. I don't know how common that is, but it happens. Well, anyway, the Kentucky Department for Public Health in part of their statement warning the public, they said anyone who attended the revival may have been exposed to measles.

I should point out here, measles is wildly contagious.

Right, it's insanely contagious. Yeah, it's not like for most people, it's not deadly. No, but it can be it can be and give it to you give it to your grandma or you give it to a toddler or an infant, and guess what?

They're at a lot more risk, and why get something that you don't have to have?

Anyway, they are they're saying attendees who are unvaccinated are encouraged to quarantine, and this is going to happen for 21 days.

All those responsible quarantiners and Kentucky. Yeah, did you hear that number? 21 days.

Holy shit. Yeah, and two, and this is also not going to happen to seek immunization with the measles vaccine, which is safe and effective.

Yeah, it is. Yeah, and they're not going to listen and they're not going to quarantine, and they're going to be out there just spreading the fucking measles.

Here's the thing.

They've also said even if you're vaccinated, probably don't go to Kentucky for a bit.
