HaGaon HaRav Shimon Badani, the Zakein Moetzet Chachmei HaTorah, spoke at a Rabbinical conference at Sheba Hospital in Tel HaShomer last week and told over a tragic story.
HaRav Badani spoke out against anti-vaxxers, saying that there’s a passuk in the Torah: ‘ונשמרתם מאוד לנפשותיכם’. “Whoever doesn’t fulfill this – it’s very chamur. The vaccines caused mortality to significantly decrease. There are many who tell all types of stories but everyone needs to know that it’s forbidden to refrain from [getting vaccinated]. Whoever refrains is trampling himself and the halacha.”
“An incident happened that a woman told her husband that she wants to get vaccinated. He told her stories and convinced her not to get vaccinated. She ended up contracting COVID and passing away. Afterward, the husband walked the streets saying: ‘I killed my wife’ – in those words.”
“Let’s not be caught in such a situation,” HaRav Badani stressed. “Who is meshuga to want to reach such a situation?”

YWN please stop with the tragic headlines and go ahead with all the tragic stories you have. But ur headlines are always confusing and tragic
Honored Rabbi, please answer me why Israel being the third most vaccinated nation in the world has one of the highest infection rates. As of now the fatality rate has gone down equally, from those who took the shot and those who didn’t, but the infection rate is currently higher by those who took the shot. Furthermore, there were a great many people who got the shot and died.
This murderer needs to be sent to prison for life without parole for having abetted a murder השם ירחם

phil,
you may have good questions, I am also sure that you also know that there are good answers for these questions. But understand that just because you have some questions it does not affect reality.
Wonder how much their paying this clown to spew forth such rubbish
To the Editor: Such titles are misleading and in this case disrespectful to an Adom Gadol. You are giving the impression that Rav Badani, shlita caused his wife’s death. I’m sure you’d be embarrassed to confront him and tell him that you mislead public to believe that he transgressed a serious violation. I realize the desire to strike the curiosity of readers to click on an article, but there is a fine line between right and wrong in this case. I believe better digression is advised.
Almost all the fatalities are from unvaccinated Hashem Yirachem.
These are the facts.
I’m not provaxx for who knows what’s in them.
But not to get Vaxxed is straight out stupid.
Did the husband kill the wife or the EVIL DOCTORS and POLITICIANS who refuse (and EVEN BLOCK) many therapeutics that would save 99.9 COVID patients if given in the firsts days of symptoms?????
Thanks for exposing these rabbi for who they are. No one is buying this nonsense anymore. You are only destroying your own reputation by peddling these lies.
Most rabbonim have a very arbitrary understanding of the science behind this. Gone are the days of poskim such as Rav Moshe ZTL and Rav Shlomo Zalman ZTL.
Philosopher, I don’t think the Rav reads the comments on YWN. If you have a question for him, you’ll need to send it to his personal address.
DON’T SELL US A BRIDGE.
IT’S LIKE SAYING THAT IF SHE WOULD HAVE DRUNK A BOTTLE OF COKE SHE WOULDN’T HAVE DIED.
AS AN ASIDE, A BOTTLE OF COKE DOESN’T WREAK AS MUCH DAMAGE AS THESE SO CALLED VACCINES.
Even if there is a sfek sfeka regarding pikuach nefesh, we are obligated even to violate Shabbos to avert the risk. So even if there are opinions pro and against, in the end what we are dealing with is certainly at least a safek. So the consensus of poskim – that we should vaccinate – makes perfect sense.
y2r: Excellent.
This is so sad.
No, he did not kill his wife, but the medical “care” that she did NOT but should have received probably did.
There are approved therapeutics like monoclonal antibodies and also others that are being suppressed like Ivermectin and HCQ WITH Zinc.
Moreover, Covid doesn’t seem to care about the “vaccines”, as many, many “vaccinated” people have gotten Covid even with the “vaccines”.
So even had she gotten the “vaccine” beforehand, there is still no indication that she would have done any better.
May Hashem comfort this poor man and family.
Ysam, exactly the opposite. Since there’s a sfek sfeka that the vaccine could do harm, maybe we are obligated NOT to take it? The only halachic rule that seems to apply is Shev Ve’al Ta’aseh Odif.
How many husbands killed their wives and/or their unborn children by sending them to take the vaccine? Official figures show a 550% increase in stillborns after the vaccine.
The c19 shot is a hoax beyond even the usual vaccine tobacco science constructs. Stay away from the mainstream media and learn a better view and narrative.
