   There is absolutely nothing in the Ultra Jewish faith that prohibits vaccinations. In fact it’s required that it’s members do whatever is necessary to stay healthy. Their  leaders are promoting vaccinations.

  Some crazy anti vaccination group targeted these people & but out phony literature saying the religion didn’t allow it!!

  I grew up in an orthodox Jewish community. We all got vaccinated.I still have friends who live in the community. Their children & grandchildren are being vaccinated.    

  Those who are refusing to are putting their community & nereby communities at risk.Religion isn’t to blame.Stupidity is!!

@NicksmomESQ . Sorry, but I live in Rockland County and this is taking place. It is the Hasidic's not the Orthodox. And it is true.

@proudlyfromNJ  I never said it wasn’t happening or wasn’t true.I have friends who are Hasidic.Avoiding vaccinations are not sanctioned by their  leaders, is all I’m saying.They, the Hasidim, are reacting to false information & putting themselves & the community at risk.They should be vaccinating their kids. They have created an unnecessary crisis based on false information.

  Once again.There is no religious basis for their refusal to vaccinate their children,no matter what they claim.

@NicksmomESQ . I never said there was a religious basis for not vaccinating. Just saying what is happening in my neck of the woods with the cases of measles.

@proudlyfromNJ  I think the state needs to step in & close any school public or private that allows unvaccinated children through the door,period.

This is from the NY Times:

An executive order pulled close to 6,000 unvaccinated children out of schools. Nearly 17,000 doses of the measles-mumps-rubella (M.M.R.) vaccine were given in 26 weeks. There was a public health campaign in which community officials, doctors and rabbis testified to the importance of immunizations.

None of those efforts stemmed the severe measles outbreak that has been plaguing Rockland County in New York since October.

So on Tuesday, in an extraordinary step, the county executive, Ed Day, declared a state of emergency, effective at midnight, that would bar children and teenagers who are not vaccinated against measles from public places.

Mr. Day said he believed Rockland County’s order was the first of its kind in the United States, and several public health experts said that they could not recall any action like it in recent years.

I had everything as a kid...measles (both kinds), chicken pox, mumps.  Moms would purposely expose their kids so they'd get them and be done with them before becoming a teen or adult.  Even so, that was no guarantee.  Women contracting measles during pregnancy is a dangerous thing and the baby pays the price.  Anti-vaxers, IMO, are putting everyone else at risk, but it's not only them.  Has anyone thought about what may be coming into our country at the southern border?  Today it's measles, but that could just be the beginning.

@JeanLouiseFinch  Read the posts to see where it’s coming from.

I do not understand parents who do not vaccinate their kids.  If you have no insurance you can go to your local health department and get them.  No excuse.  Complete hysteria over thinking vaccines cause bad things.

When I started first grade back in the middle 50's, there were no vaccinations for any of these diseases.  I had lived in the country, and it was my first experience around so many other kids.  I got everything during my first couple years (measles, rubella, mumps, chicken pox, you-name-it).  So did most of the other kids.  I did miss a lot of school but, other than that, no big deal.
