A Great Rabbi Admits "I am not a scientist"
It takes a great person to admit "I don't know everything about a subject."
HaRav Asher Weiss is one of the world's foremost poskim of our time. No question about it.
He has been very outspoken about the need for people to vaccinate - despite not being a doctor, and despite not having examined all those for whom he is requiring vaccination.
In this video - which is a Q & A session following a talk about vaccination, Rav Weiss sidesteps questions sent his way, ignores the issues raised, and readily admits "I am not a scientist. I am just a simple rabbi." https://youtu.be/TEqnw1B8wXU
At 6:10 he is parroting the CDC.
At 6:38 he says the quote shared two lines up.
It is hard to accept that Rav Weiss has thoroughly researched both sides of the debate about vaccines.
Which leads to the question - if you don't know everything there is to know about vaccines, and if in this response you admit that much more research is required, how can you reach the conclusions you reach when there are thousands of eidim (witnesses) who argue that a vaccine injured their child?
