What could possibly go wrong?
WEll, despite Covid-19, the movement against vaccinations is alive and well.
A mere four months ago, in the midst of a worldwide resurgence of the measles, the Israeli anti-vax organization Hisunim-bira muskelet” (“Vaccinations-an educated choice”) hosted an international conference in Tel Aviv.
A key speaker at the November 21 event was Del Bigtree, founder and CEO of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), a US-based organization that began using a yellow Star of David – with the words “No Vax” in a Hebrew-like font – as its campaign logo.
ICAN activists wear this “badge of honor” on their shirts at public protests, many of which aim to recruit Orthodox Jews to the movement. The group’s unabashed message is that forcing people to vaccinate their children is tantamount to the Nazi persecution of Jews during the Holocaust.
They’d rather take their chances with the virus than be vaccinated.
