I used to read one of the freebie Jewish magazines on Shabbos afternoon, but in the pre-Pesach issue they had this four-page anti-vaxx advertorial. I threw that issue away and I refuse to bring it into my house again. I’m not naming any names.

It bothers me when people offer junk science to a heimishe readership; most yeshivos and day schools just don’t provide their students with a science background sufficient to make informed decisions on complex topics like this.

The way I see it: No reputable doctor or scientist unequivocally opposes vaccines. The CDC admits that SOMETIMES there are SOME people who could have a negative reaction to an immunization. The only people who reject all vaccines under all circumstances have no serious medical background.
