JUDAISM v VACCINISM

 What if there is a vaccine preventable illness which has a known, very successful treatment?

Are you allowed to risk getting the illness, knowing there is a treatment that will help you?

What if there is a vaccine that may give you an illness for which there is no cure?

Are you allowed to take the vaccine, risk getting the illness, which may ultimately end your life?

In either case, what logical or halakhic argument allows someone else to make you take the vaccine?

It would seem that שב ואל תעשה should rule the day.

Do your best to not get sick. But if you get sick, seek a treatment that works.

Putting yourself at risk with an experimental product that is not guaranteed to do much of anything has really no basis or precedent in Torah law and Torah living.

You can put all your faith in a vaccine. But then your religion is VACCINISM - not Judaism. 

You don't really believe in God. You believe in a pharmacological biologic.

Look in the mirror. It's hard to accept this reality. But it is the truth.

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
