More signs and wonders from Kenneth Copeland and company

You probably know of Kenneth Copeland from his advocacy of the prosperity gospel. Nothing like telling Christians that you can worship God and Mammon to attract a dedicated following. Now he seems to have caused a little plague. From Forbes:
A measles outbreak in Texas traces to a congregation of a megachurch whose leader, Kenneth Copeland, reportedly has warned followers away from vaccines, advocating for faith healing and pushing the debunked notion that vaccines cause autism. One of Copeland’s churches, Eagle Mountain International Church in North Texas, is the epicenter of the outbreak, which now has hit at least 20 people.  
Nice work, Pastor Copeland. First you fleece your flock and then sacrifice them to disease. Bravo. Or maybe you just wanted to show off your miraculous healing powers to cure already preventable diseases. Glory be.
