The forceful laws were a huge red flag to me. I did NOT start questioning vaccines until flu shot became mandated for my preschooler about 7 years ago when he had just recovered from MRSA, and had bad eczema. I discussed it with my pediatrician and she told me I had nothing to worry about as the law was being repealed. I told her my concerns were becoming that I have NO choice and it's all vaccines or none. She agreed with me and had no answer other than to delay. Flu shot was yearly and there was no way to "delay".
I started looking more into vaccines and found that many aspects do indeed have conflicts with my views of Judiasm and what is beneficial for my family and what is forced by govt.
All or nothing and corruption with the lawsuits is still a red flag for me.

I don't live in NYC thankfully and until a few months ago I did not know that annual flu shots were mandated there. It came onto my radar with the force-vaccination of MMR - which I understood even as I was uncomfortable with it. But then came the repeal of the RE and that feels so wrong to me. On the one hand we're fighting the BOE against regulating yeshiva education and on the other hand we're ok with infringing on others' religious rights? We're not being consistent in defending all religious liberties.

And then m'tzad the government, everything you brought up in this post is now bothering me. The corruption is so excessive. Maybe the same thing happens in other areas as well, but this affects me and my kids' health, unlike the tenancy laws which might affect me in a trickle-down way, but that's financial. I'm really having a hard time.

I saw Mishpacha had an article about the HPV vaccine. Without the RE available, we won't be able to opt out of that. It's very concerning to me.

But, you see, I don't think that's true. If everyone wants the RE repealed, why did they need to go crooked? A regular vote, regular pass, and done. But that's not what happened in NY nor in NJ.

In NY, they voted 3 times and bribed/threatened one guy to change his vote to get the outcome they wanted. Twice (!) they re-assigned the judge on the case hearing the lawsuit to ensure the results they wanted.
In NJ, Sweeney placed himself on the committee, planned the vote for a day that two Republicans weren't available, and switched out 3 long-standing Democrat members of the committee THE DAY BEFORE the vote because they had vowed to vote no.

I don't see how any of this is ok.

I don't believe metzizah b'peh should be allowed, if that's what you're saying. There's a perfectly legitimate alternative. Bris milah is definitely allowed.

Shechitah is allowed.

And you know, and I know, that vaccines aren't a religious issue. Your concerns about vaccines have absolutely nothing to do with your religious principles.

Of course it's not OK but you are now seeing the hand of big pharma that if you even mention that term you are a "conspiracist"

They do violate my belief of veneshmartem since I do feel they are dangerous for MY children. Should you feel your children are fine, good for you. But, my kids are not your kids.

Shechita is allowed. For now. Wait until it is deemed inhumane and is going on in Europe.

A province in Canada banned any religious head coverings! No yarmulkas... is this what you want for the US???

You are missing the anti religious sentiment festering in US and amongst politicians.

OK. So if for whatever reason you became disenfranchised from the frum community, you would start to vaccinate your kids? I don't think you would- do you?

Do you feel you're being asked to violate Halacha by following the vaccination requirements? Or is your concern more about medical freedom?

Anti semitism is always an issue, yes. Unrelated to vaccinations.

I hear you, but see that's not what's bothering me. We could debate from today till tomorrow if vaccination is a religious issue or not and each side will bring experts to their defense. My problem is that this didn't happen. There was no weighing of the issue and bringing in experts to testify and determining what the public wants. Instead there was covert and overt corruption to get the bills to pass.

(I disagree with you about your stand on this law. I feel that if anti-semitism is an issue, the least we as Jews can do is to be tolerant of others' religious beliefs, sincere or not, so that we don't get judged for our sincerity for Jewish practices.)

But are you ok with the corruption and backroom deals that are going on to get these laws to happen? You can be a proponent of the law and still not be ok with the way they are being enacted. Or do you think that the end justifies the means?

Again, op, I'm with you all the way on this corruption. It's really unsettling and suspicious. There is talk about vaccine schedule going to be mandated for adults down to it being required for license and passport - idk if this is true or not but it makes me wonder just why?? It just smells so so fishy.
Also,if the product worked, they wouldn't have to push it!

Where is there talk of this? If it's true, this is seriously disturbing.

Because measles is dangerous to some people or in some places, several social media platforms remove anti-vax content.

The video wasn't anti-vax. It was anti a specific bill that's being pushed through in NJ S2173. The person was pointing out all the amendments to the bill and what the long-term implications are. If this is Youtube censorship (instead of actual user removal), we've got a huge problem. People in this country have a right to express opinions on proposed bills.
