How clever of us to contain populations about whom we cannot collect any data.
The death of his daughter, Peter told me, was God’s will. God created measles. God allowed the disease to take his daughter’s life. “Everybody has to die,” he said...
The guy is writing Richard Dawkins’ next book for him.
For Peter and his family, the loss of their daughter is a private tragedy, one that would be excruciating no matter how she died. The fact that she died of measles, though, is a sign that something has gone wrong with the country’s approach to public health. Twenty-five years ago, measles was declared “eliminated” in the United States. Now a deadly crisis is unfolding in West Texas.

Total Praise: Peter forgot the most precious part of God’s creation. God created Peter’s daughter’s measles so that she could become a disease vector and spread it all over west Texas. Praise Him.
