IN response to an anti vaccine coalition forming in Lakewood, The APP Reports 'Some of Lakewood's most influential Jewish institutions rebuffed the effort, calling it the work of a small, fringe group that ignores the advice of medical professionals who overwhelmingly support immunizations.
Among those are Beth Medrash Govoha college; the Lakewood Vaad, a council of Jewish leaders and rabbis; the Center for Health Education, Medicine and Dentistry on Route 9; and doctors Robert Shanik and Jonathan Cohen. They issued a joint statement supporting immunizations for children.
“We are strong backers of the current state regulations that require that every child in school be properly immunized," the statement reads. "The regulations are proper and should not be changed. The regulations allow appropriate exceptions for exceptional cases when a child’s immune system is compromised, such as a child undergoing chemotherapy treatment, and no other exceptions should be made.” read more HERE
I'd like to see who signed on behalf of BMG, The letters previously in a lakewood signed by the BMG Roshei Yeshiva is actually in defense of the anti vaxxers.
ReplyDeleteSomeone is not telling the truth here
The RY signed as a private person .The institution has a different position .
ReplyDeleteOn issues so nogea the Klal, the BMG administration and its stewardship ought to speak with one voice. Hopefully, a sane and rational voice rather than that of a lunatic, fringe group who is attempting to co-opt the town.
ReplyDeleteWhere was the rush yeshiva signed?
ReplyDeleteSo if you are,so concerned , why dint you call the Rosh Yeshiva and ask him
ReplyDeleteWhy are Rosh Yeshiva making medical decisions? Even halacha says to contact a doctor, even a non Jewish one. They belittle themselves by getting involved in something so stupid.
