As I am reading this article, I am standing in line at the Baltimore community’s mass MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccination event. Literally hundreds of members of our kehillah are taking time out from their busy workdays and erev Shabbos hours, to make sure that the one measles case in our city, is the last one. What a kiddush Hashem!
I remember reading one of gedolim referring to Edward Jenner, the English doctor who discovered vaccines, as “a saint.” Does anyone know who said it?
brings the message home, i am 45 and will chk if i ever got the second shot thank u – “toiva peula achas mielef anachos “
Very nice! But I didn’t know that he’s a Poisek and he wants education, sure but truly unbiased. Not just what fits an agenda
Yep! just imagine if he would have had measles as a child! He would have been immune for life! The vaccine is failing and we are blaming the anti-vax…
It’s absurd that happening! Research suggests that immunity from vaccines does NOT last more than 10 to 20 years.
It’s research from Mayo Clinic.
We need to wake up! If you have measles once you are immune for life!
@ voseppes it’s the Tiferes Yisrael (Avos Ch. 3: Mishnah 14
Voseppes: Tifferes Yisroel wrote that he has a cheilik lolam haboh because of the lives that he saved.
Measles Song:
To be sung to the tune of Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel:
I have a little yingel
With rash and eye discharge
I thought that it was nothing
But my doctor made it large
He said your kid has measles
Why didn’t you give shots?
I told him it’s baloney
An evil doctors’ plot
Measles, measles, measles
I will not immunize
So what if my neighbors’ kids
All have pus in their eyes
My son was exposed to measles
They said don’t send to school
I just put him on the bus
Do they think I’m a fool?
Board of Health says no school
Not one of them is Frum
I just sent him anyway
How dare you say it’s Krum!
Chorus: Measles, measles, measles…
They said immunize your kids
I answer with contempt
Don’t bother me with that Shtus
I’m religiously exempt
I sent the school a health form
I said he’s immunized
When they have an outbreak
They sure will be surprised
Chorus: Measles, measles, measles…
I just don’t get some people
Who are religious weasels
Who use their “quote” Frumkeit
To immunize for measles
I want to visit Bubby
Why should I go alone?
I’ll take my little tzadik
And expose the nursing home
Chorus: Measles, measles, measles…
Sit down at the table
The family will eat hearty
As you spread your measles
At the family Chanukah party
Be a real good person
Do not be a miser
Give your friends and family
Rashes and coryza
Chorus: Measles, measles, measles…

Does anyone known who the Baltimore Vaad Harabonim is? No one actually signed their name at the end of the video.
Can anyone explain why there is no recommendation for those over 62 to get 2nd shot?
The Baltimore Vaad Harabonim is comprised of all the Orthodox Rabbis in that community. Regarding those age 62 and over, the CDC has determined that the vast majority of that pre-vaccine demographic has already been exposed to measles and is therefore immune. If someone is certain that they haven’t been exposed, is a health care worker or immunocompromised, they should get the vaccine or undergo testing.
