The Problem of Discrimination

Shulem Lemmer was stopped on a Jet Blue flight because his kids look Hassidic and they had lots of bug bites. And some ignorant flight attendant thought "Hassid! Jew! Measles!"

Here's the thing: I don't care whether Shulem Lemmer vaccinates his children.

It's none of my business.

If you think anyone else would have been stopped over this business, you are fooling yourself.

Jews - we are drawing too much attention to ourselves by turning this into the biggest issue.

We should stop with the bans of our own people, we should stop with the policies that kick our own people out of the community. We should go back to how things were not 12 months ago, when whether you vaccinated or didn't vaccinate was a personal choice and people might have disagreed with you, rolled your eyes at you, or thought you were being irresponsible, but they didn't destroy your life or think you were a highly contagious critter and cretin.

This is disgraceful on the part of  Jet Blue. And it's a sad day for America, where this kind of profiling is tolerated.

I hope Shulem Lemmer gets a good lawyer who can sue Jet Blue.

There is only one kind of TRUE HERD Immunity

It comes from getting the disease naturally and creating a real immunity. Vaccine immunity wanes, requires boosters all the time, and is not guaranteed. Why does the government say anyone born before 1957 doesn't need shots? Because they were assumed to have been exposed to the real, wild virus, and has lifelong immunity. That's the real herd immunity for infectious diseases. And within a few decades it will be dying off. Thank God for those who have gotten measles naturally in the last few years. They're our only hope.

A Doctor

Just found this: To be honest (see how we are not afraid to show the other side), here is an article that takes Dr. Meehan to task . The top argument Skeptical Raptor uses is questioning assumed "authority." Without having a "degree" in vaccinology, Dr. Meehan is not allowed to formulate an opinion. (The thousands of studies around the world that are referenced mostly compare fully vaccinated to those who are partially vaccinated - never to the completely unvaccinated. Since the incidence of reactions between the vaccinated PLUS MMR and the vaccinated MINUS MMR are statistically similar, the vaccine being "studied" is deemed safe. Their longer-term effects are not included in these studies, which watch for reactions for a very limited amount of time.) With that argument, Rav Asher Weiss's opinion is also invalid . Having a degree does not confer more wisdom. It all depends on how much a person studies - whether in an educational setting or as an
