JERUSALEM (VINnews) — The Israeli health ministry is concerned that children from a kindergarten in Meah Shearim could have contracted the polio virus from a 4-year-old girl who tested positive for the virus this week, the second case within a week after 33 years without polio cases in Israel. The girl had continued to go to kindergarten before receiving the positive diagnosis and not all the children are fully vaccinated.

The health ministry has begun an epidemiological investigation to determine which children have been vaccinated and which are at risk but the kindergarten officials are not giving this information without rabbinic approval.
The girl who tested positive is being monitored in her home and does not currently require hospitalization. Her symptoms affect half of her body as is common in polio victims.
A pediatrician working in the neighborhood told Kan news that “this is not a surprise there are more and more children who do not receive vaccinations at present. Its a new fashion- young mothers don’t vaccinate. There was always a concern and they did them without enthusiasm because anything from the establishment was “treif”. The situation in the last few years was too good and it was a matter of time [before an outbreak occurred]. I know lots of children who didn’t get any vaccinations. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are more cases.”
The ministry believes there are many more cases in regions where few people vaccinate and are conducting investigations to estimate the spread of the virus. If there are a significant number of cases, the ministry is considering a polio booster for all children in Jerusalem.
Ministry figures show that only 83% of infants under a year old received the four vaccines required against polio. The ministry has begun to monitor the Jerusalem sewage system to try and locate more cases of infection.
Most cases of polio will be light and only 1 in a 1000 can bring on the deadly paralysis but the ministry is concerned that there may be many other cases, some of which could be more severe.
Are the anti-vax parents stupid, stupider, or stupidest?
They want to recreate the “glorious” life that was in the Shtetl. They already have poverty, ignorance, hunger and now Polio. What’s next? Smallpox, Cholera, and Typhus?
Maybe they can get some Goyim to come in occasionally and wreak havoc. Then it will really feel like the “Alte Heim”
Retarded mentally deranged dangerous anti vaxers
Since the number of children diagnosed with autism tripled since 2003, and the number of vaccinated children (unfortunately) dropped, I think we can conclude safely that vaccines dont cause autism.
I get so frustrated when I see people who have fallen for the anti-vax drivel and are religiously spreading it. It is FALSE. All of it. Vaccines prevent many, many dangerous diseases, many of which can cause serious effects and death in many cases. If by spreading this misinformation, someone becomes convinced not to vaccinate their child, and then their child gets infected and becomes seriously ill or c”v dies, their blood is on your hands.
The misinformation pandemic is sickening. Please stop.
Attention mods: please remove posts with anti-vax misinformation.
Hereby lays the issue with mandates. It makes people crazier. It’s becomes a me against you.
In reality there are huge differences between a covid vaccine and polio!
Polio: helps for life. No need for boosters.
Polio really helps so that you don’t get it at all vs just getting it lighter.
Polio really can kill or paralyze kids. Covid doesn’t do that to kids.
Most people didn’t have polio already. Most had covid before the vaccine.
However once you mandate you cause a larger health risk bec it’s a fight now
Oh this is just wonderful, let’s see if these super duper smart people who are super duper afraid of the vaccines can bring back all of the greatest hits… polio and bubonic plague and cholera and mumps… they already brought back measles. The good news that they are really making a big impact against big pharmacy’s bottom line like they won’t just up the price of epipens or come out with some other new drug that everyone wants… and it all costs is their kids’ lives. I guess it’s their version of doing a late term abortion.
I remember during the measles outbreak 3 years ago all the antivaxxers came running for vaccine. I wanted to turn them away. The year before I was hearing from them that measles is gone, why should we vaccinate? Let the other people vaccinate.
Then the morons started measles parties for “natural” immunity. Yet these idiots don’t understand the risk of permanent neurological damage years after infection.
And now polio…..
The family came out in the media and said that their child has been vaccinated against polio. And also that the infection was mild their child has a weakness not full paralysis
This is just more fear mongering
So much anger and hate? Sad to see what goes on here. If not for these stories, what would you all do with all this built up anger and hate?
Measles, COVID, and now Polio. But if you accuse Jews of spreading disease you’re automatically called an “Antisemite”
Just like if you expect Jewish kids in America to learn how to speak English.
This whole “Goyim hate Jews for absolutely no reason” is starting to wear a little thin.
There are dozens of diseases and toxins that cause paralysis and cases have been steadily rising for years
Polio is but one of them
And generally mild
The oral polio vaccines commonly shed in stool and can infect others (and can be found in sewage)
Many who have educated themselves attribute the very severe polio outbreak to heavy use of DDT in that era, sprayed profusely to prevent , strangely enough, being bitten by mosquitos that can spread polio. Side effects of DDT closely mimic polio infection. It wasn’t until well after the vaccine was used for a decade, and DDT was phased out, that polio was “cured”. Furthermore all cases of paralysis were attributed to polio without any lab testing. Only after the vaccine was years old was every single case of paralysis tested for actual polio.
Another note- in India children receive many, many doses of polio vaccine (more than US)
Yet they still use DDT and other very toxic pesticides
And still have high levels of polio
Don’t believe everything you read because history is written in a one sided fashion by those who have what to gain. Most diseases were well into decline of over 90% before vaccines were developed
Pure baloney! If there’s polio in the sewer system it’s from the polio vaccine! Fear mongering falsehoods!
