United Torah Judaism MK Yisrael Eichler today tested COVID-19 positive, after receiving the first dose of the vaccine ten days ago.
His office said that "MK Eichler is feeling well with Heaven's help."
When COVID-19 first appeared, Eichler's spiritual patron was the Rebbe of Belz, Rabbi Issachar Dov Rokeach, a prominent spiritual figure who disagreed with Health Ministry conduct.
Against the background of the arrival of the vaccines in Israel and reservations among haredim about the vaccines, many rabbis and public figures were waiting to hear the Rebbe's position.
An indication of the Belzer Rebbe's attitude towards the vaccine may be found in the decisive words of his representative in the Knesset, MK Eichler, who made it clear that he would be vaccinated.
"Obviously I'll be vaccinated, there's no question about it. Every medicine has beneficial things about it and harmful things about it. G-d sent the coronavirus and also sent a vaccine," he said in an interview with Radio Kol Chai.
In his remarks, he referred to what he called unfounded rumors emerging about the vaccines: "I talked to a Jew who understands the human psyche and he explained to me that people look for a reason for everything, so when they don't believe in G-d, they look for different reasons for the COVID-19 outbreak and vaccines, and they rely on unfounded conspiracies, the Chinese and Bill Gates etc."
Yesterday Arutz Sheva spoke to Levi Levine, a nurse at Shaarei Tzedek Hospital who tested COVID-19 positive after having received the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.
Levine said: "I did get the first dose of the vaccination on Thursday. I actually also tested negative on Thursday, because we do get tested regularly... Apparently I was already a carrier of the virus..."

It’s called a window period. There is not 96% immunity the minute the needle is out of the arm. Although at day 10 his symptoms will likely be less severe.
People need to get a grip and understand there is timing in this.
However we will certainly hear soon from the coterie of idiots who think this proves something. Including today’s winner of the dense award none other than HS
Yes, modern science advances, but too much of "modern" science is wrapped around politics and one-world governing.
Won’t a vaccine create an immune system reaction that show positive? Just curious.
Why is this news? It takes 28 days to have an 84percent chance of immunity.
People need to get a grip and understand there is timing in this.”
It’s concerning that many don’t understand basic science .
I assumed everyone took at least one science class in high school.
Like people who get the flu the day after they get the flu shot and mistakenly think the flu vaccine gave them the flu.
I didn’t take enough science to understand WTF good a vaccine is if it doesn’t protect you, and therefore, I should go get an armful of it. I’m just a simple feller. I’ll wait for a different vaccine to become available.
“Won’t a vaccine create an immune system reaction that show positive? Just curious.”
PCR tests for SARS, not reaction.
This jackass thinks it's news when somebody throws a rock on the other side of the planet.
“I didn’t take enough science to understand WTF good a vaccine is if it doesn’t protect you, and therefore, I should go get an armful of it”
You and your family have never taken a vaccine?
Takes about 10 days for the vaccine to have a significant protective effect.
Everybody knows that.
Fear Porn.
I’m just a simple feller. I’ll wait for a different vaccine to become available.”
Vaccines are basic science , they work. I really don’t get some conservatives thinking vaccines are some evil plot .
We have the best research in the world in our nation. Smart kids in high school who went off to college and learned how to do amazing things and save lives.
The distrust of this science is strange to me.
Conservatism is always pro progress and in favor of better ways to do things, at least I used to think so.

Well, first Bill Gates developed Windows and then he decided to invent vaccines.
Stop being stupid. You need two doses, not one dose, and the vaccine takes ten days to take effect.
I trust science, and science requires that you take into account results. And here are the results. If I take a rubella vaccine, I expect not to get rubella for the foreseeable future. Likewise a tetanus booster. My jaw better not lock up. Polio and smallpox vaccines, same deal. He takes the shot and gets Covid, and that makes me doubt the efficacy of the shot. There are other vaccines out there, moving up the pipeline. I’ll wait for Moderna’s or that British vaccine. Lots of vaccines to choose from. I’m in no hurry. They did some dubious things with a dead baby’s kidney cells, anyway.
I’ll wait for a one-shot vaccine, thank you. One that doesn’t take ten days.
“Conservatism is always pro progress and in favor of better ways to do things, at least I used to think so.”
You just stepped in it. Progress is coming in the form of a better vaccine. I’ll wait, take a conservative approach. Touche.
Well, first Bill Gates developed Windows and then he decided to invent vaccines.”
Yes at times I felt that Windows 95 was a giant virus!
“You and your family have never taken a vaccine?”
Sure. And they worked. We didn’t get whooping cough, measles, tetanus, rubella, or polio. Not even during the ten days or 28 days after. When Pfizer produces one like that, have them call me.
