Please please if you are not vaxxed please please
go away from public places
please I beg you I am pleading with you
go away from shul school playground Kiddush room
its not fair
nothing to do with lack of Ahavas Yisroel I love you
but you cannot endanger others
It’s time to exclude the entire families of the anti crowd from schools, shuls, and stores. Perhaps, the frum physicians should also direct them to either the ERs, or to doctors who enjoy working with alternative medical treatments and agree with this nonsense.
It’s time to get Child Protective Services involved with the anti-vaxxer families. The child abuse by not vaccinating has to stop! The kids need to get back to school and our communities need to be protected. Enough is enough!!
Great going!! Keep it up!! Let’s see if we can reach 50!!
