Three more children have been diagnosed with polio in Israel after an 8-year-old child in Tzefas tested positive for the virus. The Health Ministry has confirmed that the three children had been in contact with the infected child, who had not been vaccinated. Despite not having any symptoms, the three children tested positive for the polio virus. It is worth noting that most polio cases are asymptomatic, but the illness can be severe and even life-threatening in a small number of cases.
The Health Ministry statement did not reveal the vaccination status of the three children who tested positive. However, it warns that there is evidence of a spread of polio in many sewerage systems in Israel. The country has over 150,000 unvaccinated children against the virus. The ministry has advised parents to vaccinate their children against polio to prevent the spread of the virus.
Polio is a highly infectious disease that is caused by the poliovirus. It mainly affects children under five years old. The virus spreads from person to person through contaminated food or water. Symptoms of polio include fever, headache, vomiting, fatigue, and stiffness in the neck and back. In severe cases, the virus can cause paralysis and even death.
Polio was once a common disease in many parts of the world. However, due to widespread vaccination campaigns, the disease has been eradicated in most countries.

A huge shkoyach to all the anti-vaxxers!!
I think that during the dating game, it would be very wise if you discuss this topic about vaccines.
Both sides should tell the truth if they plan to give the polio vaccine to the children.
Discuss it now, don’t fight about it later.
Thanks again for your great work.
Can’t wait this summer to hear from health inspectors “quoting” from your website this kind of stuff.
I cannot wait for the day YWN will vanish.
Anything about Netura Karte?
Anything about Brit Mila?
Dont think that i have a different opinion on many of those subjetcs, it’s about causing harm.
I strongly believe that there is no bigger chilul hashem in our days than YWN.
YwN was quoted many x in the media even in Canada and they took it their way, for ex, re: Natira Karta they said ….”ultraorthodox jews” etc
I always wonder if u ever think about the אחריאות you carry.
And then come along with an opinion and topic of a Rabbi so your evil can look kosher.
What a chilul hashem u r
May YWN vanish soon among all evil in the world.
Nebech

Ill iyh have in mind by humun that this Humun should have a mapula and it not ch”v any person just your website and your rishes.

A)U r just stirring up פירוד לבבות

Good night
Remember once upon the panic about
measles…. Oh wait no one died!
RSV….. Rahhh oh wait they all survived!
Wooooooooooping cough….. Oh wait they all make it!
Covid….. This is real!……… Oh wait it’s all lie!
Ummmm let’s do polio…
Yeah, it’s easy to lie about something no one remembers…
And Bh there is 3 and there can be 3000000 its a dam virus.
Read history on what caused polio to turn into poliomyelitis, you already know you cannot trust the CDC in the everyday with their story find out the DPT that was used.
To The Yeshiva World, I noticed a comment bashing you, but do not worry, today we are living in
a generation where people post negative comments when they are upset. I am sure that about 10,000 people already read your article and they did not bash you. So one guy is upset out of ten thousand. If you look very carefully at his words, a true honest Yid does not talk like that.
I remember the story of Penina and Channah and even though she meant LeShem Shamaim, she got punished very harshly for causing pain.
If only there was a VACCINE
These parents who don’t vaccinate will have to live with the consequences of their children becoming invalids. 🙁
To the second comment:
To the largest comment here:
This person is bashing Yeshiva World. He has a lot of free time to put in a long comment with all kinds of complaints and different issues that he is very angry about.
He lets you know that he is very angry and he is calling another Yid a Rashah an evil person.
I have only one big question for this man:
1 BIG QUESTION:
HOW COME WHEN A CERTAIN GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT WERE DRESSED LIKE CHASSIDIM AND THEY WENT TO IRAN AND THEY SAT WITH THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND THEY WERE BASHING ISRAEL-HOW COME THIS MAN HERE DID NOT MAKE ANY COMMENTS-WAS HE UPSET AT THAT GROUP-????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
@avraham,
People’s mindsets change. People who feel strongly about vaccinating or the opposite, change their minds.
Additionally, since COVID hit, people’s trust in the healthcare system deteriorated. Trusting a medical professional blindly has unfortunately proven to not always be the best decision.
To Just A Guy
I must say that for 2023 to read your comment-very relaxed-not bashing anyone-judging all the sides favorably-I am really impressed.
Good Shabbos to everyone—
Lots of good health for every single Yid
בעזרת השם
As we approach the very 1st Johrzeit of the venerated Godol HaDor Moreinu HoRav Chaim Kanievsky ZTKLLH’H this Wednesday, even more incumbent upon every single Jew to follow his clear cut Pesak Halocho:- GET VACCINATED!!

Do you ask your doctor for Halachik decisions? Do you ask your accountant for medical advice?Then why do people go to rabanim for medical advice?
joshua45 you are correct and yes, YWN should stop the fear marketing. You can mark it on your calendar, three months following the previous “health emergency” there will be another one – and the solution will usually be vaccination. It’s an agenda of fear, control, and a large-scale database that tracks your every move. Fact 1: the two greatest causes of death throughout the covid panic were a) mistreatment in hospitals through neglect, refusal to treat with proven, safe medications, and deadly ventilation/remdesivir protocols; and 2) the shots. Read Ed Dowd’s “Cause Unknown” to see the mortality numbers from 2021-22. Fact 2: The “dropping dead on the street” videos from China in 2019 were fakes. Looking over the responses above, looks like fear still works.
