Facts
The flu vaccine causes more deaths per year than chicken pox.
The direct injection of RSV immunoglobulin, commonly known as the "RSV vaccine" would prevent 16x more deaths than the flu vaccine does, but is too expensive.
There is a vaccine for the plague, and that is why it is no longer an epidemic.
Ebola is caused by vaccines.
There is a vaccine for autism, but it causes mumps.


Opinions
Vaccines do not contain thimerosal, a known toxin.
If you snuck up on your neighbor's kid and cut open his skull, you would be arrested.  But when brain surgeons do it, and charge hundreds of thousands of dollars, it considered "medicine."
99% of vaccines do not cause autism (HT JJ1000).
Every pedi has seen healthy kids become sick physically & mentally hours after a vax (HT Baryochai)
Vaccines cause cancer, infertility, astma, adhd etc (HT Baryochai)

I'm not disagreeing with him etc.. it's dangerous for him to voice his personal opinions. People do not differentiate.

Nope. Just a run of the mill anti-vaxxer. Google him.

I stopped at 48 seconds in.  "In the fifties doctors recommended measles parties."

In the fifties there were no seat belt laws.  In the 1800's mercury was prescribed for illness.

He also completely fails to talk about "herd immunity." Obviously he doesn't believe in it because herd immunity doesn't work in anti-vax circles.

He makes the assertion that the death rate of measles in modern civilized, societies is less than the death rate of measles in unsanitary, backwards countries like Africa.  Although this may sound reasonable, this is not fact.  There hasn't been enough cases of measles for the numbers to be statistically significant. 
There have been people hospitalized during this recent outbreak, but all B"H have survived.

You do realize that black plauge killed most of the world?

"The Black Death, also known as the Great Plague or the Plague, or less commonly the Black Plague, was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people in Eurasia and peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351...""

"The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of Europe's population.[7] In total, the plague may have reduced the world population from an estimated 450 million to 350–375 million in the 14th century.[8] It took 200 years for the world population to recover to its previous level.[9][10] The plague recurred as outbreaks in Europe until the 19th century.."

Not related but it just shows how modern medicine like antibiotics and quarantine etc saves millions bh and how stupid some are or misguided.


People are just so stupid, if you read history and see that parents had 14-17 kids with few if any surviving?!? That the average person didn't reach 40. If you did reach 40 you were considered old..

Don't want to vax, go live in isolation. But non vaxxers who spread diseases are rodfim.

It's causing enourmess chilul hashem. Brings us back to the dark ages when Jews were falsely accused of spreading disease, in this case they are guilty. ..

Jews mingle together much more than any other group, shul, family simchos etc.

If there's a 95%+ vaccination rate it never gets to spread

The problem is that there's a very high rate of children in Orthodox communities and many children/infants were too young either for the first MMR or for the second one (as until very recently it was recommended at age 4-5), and children are more likely to get measles. And btw, Williamsburg schools has a 95+% vaccination rate.

Can't he disagree and still know where the parent is coming from? Even if he thinks the parent is wrong?
I still fail to see what belief has to do with hard facts. I believe eating candy is good for me.

This is one of the success stories....

First set of pictures were on Chol Hamoed, followed by hospital pictures and b”h today he returned home and we took him for a stroll in his carriage.
Please share these pictures with everyone and anyone.  The head of peds at SZ and an infectious disease doctor asked me to share these pictures.  He wants people to understand how an innocent baby can be a victim through no fault of his own.
Once again, endless thanks and eternal gratitude to all of you for sharing this difficult journey with our family.
Chodesh Tov  snd Bsoros Tovos always.

That's not necessarily true. There is a concept called herd immunity which is believed to be reached somewhere between 90-95%, but 95% is not a magic number. If jewish people mingle much more than average, herd immunity may not be reached even at 95%
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.
