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)

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

Only because schools mandate them and 90% of parents don't have koiach to fight the system.
OTOH, I do agree with Yehuda57 that anti-vaxe'ers in CH are indeed super vocal.

Vaccine skepticism is more prevalent in the Jewish community than in the broader population, this was true before COVID and is true now, and was reflected on DDF by frum skeptics espousing their skepticism on DDF, but has nothing to do with DDF per se.


It is a sad day when the idea that maybe natural immunity is as effective as a vaccine became a conspiracy theory.

FTFY.
We have them here, too. The whole neighborhood has three altogether, and they make more noise than the vaxxers and certainly more than the "take it case-by-case" types.
