… when all the kids in your town died from viruses for which we now have vaccines.
For many ultraorthodox, the old unvaccinated ways remain the best, which is why a bunch of their kids are currently suffering and dying from the measles. Well done!
*******************
Let’s hear from the rabbis.
[S]ome ultra-Orthodox believe that there is a connection between vaccines and autism, despite the fact that the CDC says there is none. A major Orthodox rabbi has called vaccines a “hoax.” He and two other rabbis who sit on the rabbinnical board that guides Agudath Israel of America, the leading Haredi umbrella group, have cast doubt on the efficacy of vaccines.
On the efficacy of measles at killing children I assume these rabbis are in agreement.
