What Would Our Grandparents Think?

Maybe our grandparents would think everyone should vaccinate.
Maybe they wouldn't.
It would really depend on if all the information about vaccines were readily available for all to see.
It isn't, which is part of the problem.

But they'd be mystified how vaccination is the litmus test as to whether we let Jews in our community institutions.

None of them had vaccines. They didn't see other Jews as disease-carrying dangerous people.

So here is how it goes today:

You don't keep Shabbos? No problem.
You're a sexually active homosexual? No problem.
You don't follow the rules of taharat hamishpacha? No problem.
You eat non-kosher? No problem.
You are intermarried? No problem.
You speak Lashon Hora regularly? No problem.
You are unethical in certain business practices? No problem.

ALL OF THE ABOVE ARE TORAH VIOLATIONS.

You don't vaccinate? Get out of here! You are not welcome to daven, you are not welcome to study, you are not welcome to be part of this community, you are a pariah! You are evil! You are disgusting! How could you? You are a danger to everyone! You want us all to die! You don't care about the immuno-compromised! Judaism HAS NO PLACE FOR YOU.

 Rabbis have opinions about vaccines. The Torah says nothing about vaccines.

Our grandparents who went through the Holocaust would be ashamed that this is our reality today.

Differences Shouldn't Tear Us Apart

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
