Fear v. Fear
Those who vaccinate fear diseases.
The only way to combat fear is with knowledge and vigilance.
Why? Because vaccines are not 100% effective. Diseases can make their way around. Most diseases do not even have vaccines for them. And there are plenty of examples of vaccine-strain diseases making their rounds, affecting the vaccinated. Yes - you heard right - the vaccinated infect the vaccinated.
See information and attachments (links) in these previous blog posts to see why vaccination - while somewhat effective, is neither guaranteed or absolutely safe, and neither are its long term impacts known.

Those who do not vaccinate fear adverse events from vaccines.

The above link is just a sampling of what the government deems reportable to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System). There are over 150 types of reactions/events/injuries which have been reported shortly after vaccination.
Suggesting they are all coincidental is ludicrous. If it happened to you, you'd know the vaccine caused it. (Some of the events in question include food allergies, SIDS, infertility, and chronic conditions (including autoimmune disorders) - currently affecting over 50% of the children in the US)
See how to navigate VAERS reports. And note that according to a Harvard Study that looked at 715,000 people, VAERS likely captures less than 1% of Adverse Events.
What's the Solution to Fear?
VALIDATE THE OTHER PERSON'S FEARS AND FIND A WAY TO LIVE TOGETHER.
What is unacceptable is claiming that those who are unvaccinated are disease-carrying.
Or that they are potential Rodfim.
Or that they have no place in the Jewish community.
Fear is stoking these inherently non-Jewish attitudes. And the Jewish community that is accepting this narrative (that it is socially unacceptable not to vaccinate or to question the safety of vaccines) is destroying the lives and neshamas of those who think differently about vaccines.
