Why we are here

We are here because you need to understand what is happening to the community we love, which we very much are a part of and want to remain a part of. A difference in worldview is destroying the lives of many of us, as we live in fear, and anonymity, and we feel we can't even have this discussion before we're written off in the most offensive of ways.

Some of us can't even tell our stories with our names attached, as we will be maligned, ostracized, and possibly even lose our jobs or our stance in a community over choosing not to vaccinate ourselves and our children.

We are not here to convince you of anything about vaccines. 

No one is asking you to agree with us. But we are asking you to remember that we are part of Acheinu Bnei Yisrael. And as such, at the very least, a basic decency and courtesy should be a given. Without name calling, without questioning our character and motivations.

These are our stories.

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
