Do Orthodox Jews believe in vaccinating?

Dear Jew in the City,

Lock the kids up…do not sicken everyone. You have no right to impose your beliefs against vaccination on the rest of society.

If you don’t see it this way…advice…leave this country. Go to someplace where ignorance and stupidity are bliss. America is NOT such a place. We lose ours, you will lose yours.

M.A.

Dear M.A.,

Though you have not specified which children you’d like to lock up, based on the news, I’m assuming your message is related to a recent outbreak of measles in California and the news that a percentage of kids in Jewish day schools in California are not vaccinated.

From the tone of your email you are obviously very upset with what’s going on, but you are also misinformed. There is no Jewish law against vaccinations. In fact, most rabbis are probably strong supporters of them.
