To an MD who bears no legal liability if the vaccine should cause serious side effects or even death as per the 1986 Act . Are these medical professionals, their OWN children?

Vaccine takes 3 weeks to give immunity and vaccinated people get measles too. Probably because it’s not as effective as they claim. It’s reasonable to question if it’s as safe as they claim too

There are many letters from the Rebbe promoting the Measels vaccine and anybody against it is not just against science and life but straight up against the rebbe’s directives.

All of the Rebbe’s letters about vaccines were written when the manufacturers were responsible for any adverse reactions. Now they are not responsible. They can put whatever they want in it and they won’t be liable if there’s an injury cv

No, you are just uneducated. Vaccines offer high immunity but like anything it dlesnt offer perfect immunity. It does however offer enough immunity that if the majority take it, measles.can be eliminated from society. When you dont vaccinate(and you otherwise can medically) you put your kids in danger and you put my kids in danger.

A few years ago the frum community didn’t care when doctors said our children needed to be vaccinated and they had measles parties meaning bringing sick kids to others so they would catch it. Those parents didn’t want to hear measles could be dangerous. Now the same thing is happening. Did the parents change their minds?

Along with most of my generation and I rarely if ever heard of anyone harmed from having measles, unless there were extenuating circumstances. Today kids are vaccinated for it and when one of them is harmed from the vaccine, then that’s called an extenuating circumstance. A bit of an odd twist don’t you think? I say who needs it, except those who are profiting big time off of its sales.

They had the sick parties because the healthy kids weren’t allowed into school unless they either got sick with it or vaccinated. If the city would have mixed out of schools business then people wouldn’t have made measle parties and their would have been less measle cases. Talk about the intervention causing bigger problems than helping.

Whatever you do people, just please stay out of the doctor’s office until the symptoms get fully resolved because we don’t need the city using your infection as an excuse to harass the rest of the community. The doctors don’t help anyways.

B”H Hashem have our generation the knowledge to have modern medicine and guidance from our Rebbe. I’m appalled to see frum Yidden against modern medicine yet so open to New Age practices like homeopathy, crystal healing, energy healing, and all of sorts of things that border on shituf. You know what? Those things don’t work. They were tried millennia ago and people still died. Nowadays, people still die, but b”H we have longer and healthier lifespans. As we get close to Moshiach, the wellsprings of both Torah and science l’havdil burst forth. Modern medicine is far from perfect, but at… Read more »

No one died from the measles, only WITH it
May 15, 2025 3:53 am

The media has been shilling for pHarma and pushing their poison shots, covering up the injuries and deaths from the shots and disingenuously presenting measles as dangerous when in reality it’s benign and even beneficial. Saying a kid got the measles is about as newsworthy as saying that a kid got a cold.

Actually we would like to protect the babies who are too young to get vaccinated. Do we need to not ever leave the house with a baby because you won’t get vaccinated? Is that healthy or fair?

Although there are cases of severe reactions

If the patient does not want to try penicillin then they should not be forced.
Nobody is saying to ban vaccines that are safe. But since they inevitably will cause harm to some then nobody should be forced.

Ran point with doh on last measles outbreak here s
May 15, 2025 9:02 am

I learned alot last measles outbreak mainly that most doctors have never actually dealt with measles so here’s some pointers. There’s is a huge link between low vitamin A levels and the severity of measles so everyone should up in vitamin A rich foods. You can recieve the vaccine within 24 hours of exposure or you can recieve imunoglobulin shots within 24 hours, but these are hard to come by and mainly saved for newborns and young babies. It’s a horrible virus wouldn’t wish it on anyone but during last epidemic we had two patients in hospital with measles and… Read more »

Yes, I get that an unknown percentage of children who get vaccinated may actually experience permanent negative effects from the vaccination. However, an equal, or greater, number of children will be saved from the effects of the illnesses the vaccinations were designed to prevent. I firmly believe the latter group is much larger than the former. Additionally, those who do not vaccinate are unknowingly, or worse still, knowingly, counting on the rest of the population to vaccinate and keep epidemics of childhood diseases in check, so their kids won’t have to be vaccinated or exposed to all those awful diseases.… Read more »
