1. They don’t care about healthcare. Their healthcare columns are limited to Reader’s Digest-like sensationalized thrillers and diet advice.
During the measles outbreak, they skimmed over the issues of unvaccinated swaths of frum Jews,
2/n
focusing their efforts on the resulting anti-semitism that occurred.
Clever. 🙄
When I begged @themishpacha if I could write an important column on the dangers of the measles virus and rectifying misinformation about the vaccine, I was told:
A. Did Dr. Fauci say that vaccination rates for measles were low in the Jewish community in Rockland, or in the Jewish schools there? Because measles vaccination is given before children are school age.
So, if vaccination by age 4 was found to be in the 95% range (it’s not, more later), that does not mean that community wide vaccination with measles was at a sufficient level.
So, Fauci didn’t lie.
B. Although reported measles cases peaked at 1,200 in New York, thousands more went unreported in both Williamsburg and Rockland County. Children don’t get the measles if they’re vaccinated.
