Vaccine Discussion Master Thread

[henche]

At least 1,008,025 Americans had received their first dose of the vaccine as of 9 a.m. Wednesday, according to a tally from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

There have been 9,465,725 doses distributed across the country thus far, as production of the vaccines pick up pace.

This is seriously messed up. It doesn’t help to have more supply if we can only vaccinate a million ppl a week. At that rate it will take 300 weeks.

1. They’re only vaccinating certain people, so it’s not a line where anyone can get, they have to screen for eligibility etc.
2. They’re just warming up (no pun intended) the complex distribution chain.
3. This was at fewer than 1000 locations across the country, if they shipped to 10,000 they could have vaccinated many more people.

Does anyone have a list which Gedoilim, Rabbonim and Poskim are against vaccinating for covid-19 ?

I know the Amshinover rebbe, R. Schmuel Katz Lakewood, Satmer,  Rav Kotler Lakewook, R.Schmuel Kapinsky,
R.Elijohu Dov Wachvogel, R.Kook from Tveria, Soifer from Usa, - are forbidding to vaccinate against covid-19

I'd be grateful if you can correct my spelling mistakes on writing the names of these Gedoilim.

Sassover.
Which Satmar is against ?

What’s the point of this thread?
I’m not sure any good is gonna come out of this.
Just ask your own Rabbi and finished.
Unless you wanna count all the rabbis on each side and pasken like the roiv

[aygart]

Forbidding? If you mean r Shmuel Kamiunetsky he wrote a letter saying explicitly otherwise.

Are any of these different for COVID than for other vaccines?

Do we follow רוב when dealing with pikuach nefesh ?

?  are you serious ?
We're talking about taking a vaccine, that was approved after two months, that has zero liability.
Don't you think I have an obligation to know ?

You might want to fact check your statements.

I didn't say R Schmuel Kaminetzki. 


It took 17 years to develop the vaccine for Hepatitis B
It took 22 years to develop the vaccine for Hepatitis A
It took 46 years to develop the vaccine for measles
It took 45 years to develop the vaccine for polio

And it took two months to develop the vaccine for Covid-19

Let's say.

So?

Reb Schmuel Zev Sarger. 

Who is this ?

Please correct my spelling mistakes.

Why ?

[kosherjid]

Let's say.

So?

Sorry ?
The normal procedure on approving a vaccine is doing a research, which normally takes from two to five years.
After the research they start doing lab test on live tissues, then on live tissues of animals, which takes two years.
Then they experiment on humans, which takes about ten years.

The vaccine against covid-19 has been approved after two months.  No research. No testing.

When you buy something online, you check the positive and negative reports. Don't you ?
Think about it.

You might want to speak to these rabbonim how they feel about these other vaccines. Don't think their covid opinion is for the reason you seem to believe it is.
