A 10-year-old boy in Israel is in critical condition after he contracted the measles
The young boy was hospitalized at Schneider Medical Center in Petah Tikva is attached to a ventilator.
Doctors confirm that the child suffered irreversible brain damage after developing a potentially deadly complication of the virus.
The complication, called encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain, is a well-known and sometimes fatal complication of measles.
This follows the report of an El Al flight attendant that is also in a coma after she got the measles.
The names for Tehillim were unavailable.

So, any mothers still want to hold measles parties so their kids can get this serious disease and be immunized the “natural way” ?
Measles has serious consequences. Get immunized @
Then why the photograph of the vaccine? The implies the person became ill from the vaccine, rather than the disease. The anti-vaxers are not especially bright, especially when it comes to science matters, and using a misleading picture is a classic example of putting a stumbling block in front of a blind person. The article is on how measles sometimes has horrible complications, yet your photograph contradicts the article.
Everyone reading this,please print a copy and mail to Rabbi and Rebbetzin Kamenetzky in Philadelphia ,and tell them “thank you”
People die from every disease
The people who are anti vax are going to hell.
Bezras Hashem he will have a recovery.
my son was damaged from a DTAP vaccine.
yet for some reason i am not believed and told that it is just the illness that damages.
lets be emesdik. vaccines are VERY important and lets not forget that they are not 100 percent safe.
please be real, please be aware that there are always two sides to the story.
i am interested in hearing responses.
