A 42-year-old man from Tel Aviv was in the maternity unit of Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv a few days ago, after his son was born. Now, he has been diagnosed with the measles.
According to the report in Yediot Achronot on Monday, April 15, 2019, the man was celebrating the event and he was in the maternity ward, complaining of feeling tired, weak, and with throat pain. When he developed a rash a few days later, the measles diagnosis was made.
He explained that he felt this way when his wife entered the hospital, but he thought it was due to the stress of the event and nothing more.
The man told Yediot Achronot that on last Wednesday, April 10, 2019, he accompanied his wife to Ichilov. He met with family members who came, and only the following morning did the rash appear. He ran to the emergency room and they quickly placed him in isolation.
It turns out he is partially inoculated as he was born in 1977. He added that he was unaware that he was ill and could infect others, and that he was ill with one of the more infectious illnesses.
In response, persons and babies who were in the unit between on the days in question are at risk of contracting measles and have received prophylactic treatment. The local Health Ministry District Office has launched a probe as well. Children in the daycare centers and kindergartens of the family members with whom are being vaccinated too. The hospital is also working to determine who was possibly in contact with the man, including the maternity unit where the man spent most of his time.
The Ichilov Medical Center said in response to the Yediot report “the incident was reported to be supported by the Ministry of Health, and that the district health office will soon be referring to the parents of the babies who were currently in need of vaccinations according to the guidelines. The fact that the father and his partner were in a private room like most of the mothers at Ichilov has reduced the potential exposure.”

“The fact that the father and his partner were in a private room” – is this just the PC way they always write or what? Surely they mean his wife?
If he did not feel well (forgetting about the measles) he should not have been visiting the maternity ward.
If you read the mmr insert information it refers to that the person who has received the vaccine can spread the disease through sneezing and coughs for up to 21 days after receiving the shot. This father could have caught measles from a sneeze or cough of the babies that had the mmr that he was exposed to, or hospital workers in the hospital that recently had the shot. Same thing at Shuls and Yeshivas, the ones that were recently vaccinated can spread the diseases. Don’t be fooled by the evil agendas, unfortunately they specifically want to hurt Jews now. Trust your sechel more than the governments.
