3% is thousands and measles are a disease that can infect adults with horrible consequences. And it’s not antisemitism to motive thst thousands of haredi don’t vaccinate. It’s a fact. I also would be nervous to get on a plane with haredis- it’s simply the odds. Your odds increase of being exposed.

Religious fundamentalism and superstition is the cause of ignorance which itself breeds a fatuous belief that all and everything can be overcome by prayers to a deaf deity and too often the repercussions cause danger to others which as sure as day follows day gives rise to to the blame culture, not that any is needed when blame is applied automatically for all the ills of the world to the Jewish people.
