Jews are an insignificant minority of anti-vaxxers, and anti-vaxxers are an insignificant minority of Jews. The stats on the measles vaccine showed that the Orthodox Jewish community had a higher vaccination rate than the national average. Only a very few whackos within the frum community oppose vaccines, and it’s unfair to portray us as providing a fertile environment for such. It’s impossible and unreasonable to expect any community to be completely free of crazy people. Anyone who would be provoked to antisemitism by this is already an antisemite anyway, so we shouldn’t worry about them.
