A Tragedy - Is in God's Hands
I saw this awful headline, and only because I've been conditioned to think this way, my instinct said, "But was he vaccinated?"

Teen dies of injuries from lightning strike near Ashkelon
Of course the answer is irrelevant. This is a tragedy, and it is very sad for the family and for a small nation which does its best to protect its citizens.
In the end, the God-fearing person knows that people can lose their lives in all kinds of ways, least of which is the measles.
This is not a judgment of anyone, nor of pretending to understand the ways of God. But it is questioning the clarity of those who KNOW that vaccines SAVE LIVES and who also KNOW that those who don't vaccinate are DANGEROUS to the VACCINATED.
Having met many unvaccinated children, it is hard to tell which is most dangerous.
(Answer: None of them. Some of them have better immunity than any vaccine could ever provide. Some are simply not sick. And, according to their parents report - though this is surely anecdotal - they haven't been sick all year. And they also didn't die from not getting all their recommended vaccinations, as per what some nurses or doctors tried to scare them to think)
So, yes. It is tragic when someone dies, especially a young person with his whole life ahead of him.
But instead of focusing on why he died and who is to blame, let us simply bask in the knowledge that we simply don't know the ways of God.
Are we all brothers and sisters? Yes.
If there is a caveat that "only if you are vaccinated" then you don't believe the "Yes" of the previous line. In which case, shame on you. Diminishing someone else's humanity over a vaccine?
And they call the unvaccinated "sick." SMH.
