New York Times Editorial Blames ‘Jewish Schools’ for Spreading ‘Highly Contagious’ Disease

63

News analyst Richard Sherman writes this:

The NY Times staff editorial headline reads ” Measles Breaks Out Among Yeshiva Students. Where to Begin?” Let’s begin between 1348-1358 when the Black Death epidemic was blamed on the Jews.
Let’s begin between 1348-1358 when the Black Death epidemic was blamed on the Jews.
Then let’s go to the 1930s when the Nazis led by Julius Streicher and Josef Goebbels described the Jews as rats who spread disease.
Now the NY Times makes it a Trifecta of antisemitic contagion. Even Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez can fine tune their anti-Semitism by adding the New York Times’ contagious Jews.
er and Josef Goebbels described the Jews as rats who spread disease.
Now the NY Times makes it a Trifecta of antisemitic contagion. Even Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez can fine tune their anti-Semitism by adding the New York Times’ contagious Jews.

It’s true: the New York Times editorial entitled “Measles Breaks Out Among Yeshiva Students. Where to Begin?” is here. The New York Times, always reliably on the wrong side of every issue, always opposed to individual rights and freedom, has frequently hit Israel and praised the likes of the leftist Jewicidal group J Street, which it calls “moderate.” In reality, J Street is a front group to destroy Israel. J Street is a vile group that represents the a “Jewish perspective” reflected by “Jews” such as Noam Chomsky and Norman Finklestein. And that’s just one aspect of the Times’ relentlessly anti-Israel coverage. But here, the Times has taken its Jew-hatred to new, Nazi levels, reflecting the mainstreaming of Jew-hatred in the Democrat Party (see Ilan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and the simple-minded antisemite Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) and among the left in general.

It happens to be true in this case. To me this is a thorny issue, but Pamela’s description that The New York Times, always reliably on the wrong side of every issue, always opposed to individual rights and freedom… leaves me cold, as does your comment above.

Although I consider myself a defender of “individual rights and freedom”, that in no way gives you the right to abuse or endangeryour children. That is exactly what groups that refuse the measles vaccine for their little ones do. The measles vaccine is a highly effective vaccine with a history of low complications. I would be much more sympathetic to parents who do not want their children given the HPV vaccine, even though I understand it too is valuable from a public health perspective.

AFAIAC, this post from Pamlea is utter claptrap, trying to find anti-Semitism where there is none intended (although it could play into the hands of anti-Semites).

Those who might be interested in deeply personal memoir from someone who had an “ultra-Orthodox” Jewish education, but who escaped from the tyrannical mindset in which he was raised, would do well to read Shulem Deen’s All Who Go Do Not Return. It is a masterpiece of the genre, one that vividly describes the tyranny of some of these “ultra-Orthodox” Jewish communities and how they ill-prepare their young for contemporary life. Comparing Deen’s book with Pamela’s Fatwa: Hunted in America suggests he speaks with much more personal knowledge of the ultra-orthodox communities than she does.

True, but irrelevant, as I thought I had made clear in my comment.

The issue is protecting children from endangerment as a consequence of their parents’ folly. And, for that child who goes to the ICU from measles, the “ultra-Orthodox” Jews simply expect the taxpayer to pick up the tab- Deem made that attitude very clear in his memoir. Should society simply accept the unnecessary death of children in those situations? That would be an arguable position, I suppose, but not one that I am yet ready to accept.

Do I infer from your tendentious comment that there is no need to protect children from legal immigrants bringing diseases here? How about protecting them from Native American communicable diseases? Or from Americans who travel abroad?

While you raise a reasonable concern, I do wonder at your arbitrarily narrow focus. Then again, coming from you, perhaps I should not wonder.

I still cannot quite grasp it. Although our children were given all requisite vaccinations (requirement for admission into both public and private schools), I was never vaccinated for measles. NONE in my generation were. Had both types of measles (rubeola and rubella) and mumps (both sides). Those aren’t exactly life threatening ailments. Point of fact, in the last decade, NO deaths can be attributable to measles: https://vaxopedia.org/2018/04/15/when-was-the-last-measles-death-in-the-united-states/

Point of fact, in the last decade, NO deaths can be attributable to measles:

Yo moron, who considers himself knowledgeable about a range of matters of which he knows nothing, including my marital situation: A goon spreading false information about mortality from measles cannot be a good thing- although do go ahead and tell it your goon buddies, you repulsive moron.

From that fount of all wisdom, Wikipedia (Ref 1) is this statement:

In the Vietnamese measles epidemic in spring of 2014, an estimated 8,500 measles cases were reported as of April 19, with 114 fatalities;[109] as of May 30, 21,639 suspected measles cases had been reported, with 142 measles-related fatalities.[110]

In the Naga Self-Administered Zone in a remote northern region of Myanmar, at least 40 children died during a measles outbreak in August 2016 that was probably caused by lack of vaccination in an area of poor health infrastructure.[111][112]

But let’s do better than Wiki: let’s look at what CDC says (Ref 2):

Global Measles Burden

Measles is still commonly transmitted (endemic or large outbreaks) worldwide, including some countries in Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and Africa.

Measles remains a leading cause of vaccine-preventable infant mortality.

Great progress has been made towards measles elimination

From 2000-2016*:

• Reported measles incidence decreased 87%, from 145 to 19 cases per million persons

• Annual estimated measles deaths decreased 84% (20.4 million deaths prevented).

But of course, a stupid goon like Achmed knows more than the CDC.

People here would be well advised to take anything this goon has to say with a hearty dose of salt.

But finally, the jackass’s own source, vaxopedia, has this to say (Ref 3):

The last death, a woman in Clallam County in Washington, was exposed in an outbreak of mostly unvaccinated people in 2015.

I understand, the demented goon cannot read with any degree of genuine comprehension. He is a functional illiterate.

Once again, LIAR spittoon references Wikipedia .. which is not an acceptable source in legal OR academic circles. Feel free in following the link that I provided, showing how many cases of measles, officially reported in the United States of America, and any deaths that may have resulted.

But you claimed there were no deaths from measles in the last ten years, cretin. I established beyond all reasonable doubt that your claim was false, just as your ridiculous denial that I am married to a Korean immigrant is false. You are very prone to making false statements, goon.

Simply because they were outside the USA does not mean they didn’t exist. They did not exist largely because of widespread vaccination. That protection is eroding in large part because of the anti-vax movement.

Poor little LIAR spittoon, I used a site that utilized false information, until it actually got to the point where the official cause of death was referenced, which is listed on their death certificate, and that was in 2003. All other deaths, attributed to measles was NOT the official cause. Obviously, you have shown your exceedingly poor level of education and total inability to comprehend the written word … once AGAIN. I make no “claim” that you have an IMAGINARY “Korean wife” … You have PROVEN that she is nothing but a FIGMENT OF YOUR IMAGINATION …. All by yourself.

If your “Korean wife” was not IMAGINARY, you would be cognizant that ALL legal immigrants are rigorously tested for all communicable diseases.

I find it interesting that the Communist, Jew hating NY Times (who also sided with the Nazis) can never seem to write many op eds or articles regarding the morgellons outbreak on the border in Texas (a few years back) or the measles outbreak in San Francisco. The TB outbreak in Los Angeles and SF.
Or, God forbid, the bedbug epidemic across the nation because it might shed a bad light on illegals…and why we truly need protection on our borders.

See..as usual, it’s easy to dump on Jews. Communist Erav Rav, FAKE Jews are always persecuting religious Jews since the 1800s, murdering them in pogroms in Russia and Ukraine, starving them, exiling them to Siberia.
*Especially* Orthodox Jews…Easy for Communists to do this because, after all, it takes light off of the real issue: Communists and Communist Jews who can’t handle the fallout of the Jew hating mess they’ve created and how the Jewish ppl (with some big Jewish gelt) are going to mass exodus the CommieCrat party 🙂

“The measles vaccine is a highly effective vaccine with a history of low complications.” You are a complete fool, who’s ignorance only grows more and more on this site. There is MOUNTING evidence that vaccines, including those for measles, have been linked to developmental, neurological disorders and beyond. With ingredients like mercury and aluminum in vaccines, which deteriorate the developing immune systems of children, parents who opt to not vaccinate their children are doing them more good than harm. You would be well advised to research this before you vomit your nonsense about your defense of “individual rights and freedoms” and ignorant promotion of dangerous treatments. And your agreement that Jews are spreading disease, should mark you for being banned on this site.

Joy-

I am male, and I believe you know it. What a childish joy people like Achmed (you?) take in disputing that fact. I suspect cross-dressers on the ‘Net are rarely females pretending to be male, although I fully admit to ignorance on the matter.

It’s just that he/she is rather obnoxious in telling everyone who disagrees with her/him that they’re morons, ….

That is simply another bald faced lie.

I am perfectly happy to disagree respectfully- but I do expect that to be a two way street. You put yourself in a camp with the likes of Achmed, who pretends to know my marital status, which he somehow deduces from his utterances to which I do not respond, and who, in contradiction to his own source, denies there have been ANY deaths attributed to measles in the past ten years.

I often, at times, sharply critical of people. More often than not, though, I will refer to an idea as idiotic- perhaps the distinction eludes you. I do not enjoy calling people idiots, and in contrast to those I refer to as the “goon squad” here, when I do so, I offer a rationale
(which, as I vaguely recall, is far more than you do when referring to me). Anyone with any discernment would realize what an unhinged person Achmed is- he also is clearly an idiot for claiming there have not no deaths from measles in the past decade.

Oh, come on, again. It is a FACT that a measles outbreak occurred in the NY Yeshiva population because far too many of them chose not to have their kids vaccinated. I’m an Orthodox Jew myself, and I am AGHAST at the ignorance of the folks who would do this. And, no, the NYT is NOT falsely blaming a deadly epidemic on “the Jews” — they are just pointing out that THIS particular cache of sadly misinformed Jews are responsible for ONE recent outbreak. There is plenty of blame to go around, as most of the “anti-vax” folks in the Pacific Northwest who are ALSO responsible for a measles outbreak there, are Christian or Pagan or something else, not Jewish. Medical idiocy knows no ethnic boundaries. And if there are any anti-vaxxers here on Ms. Geller’s site who want to engage on that issue, don’t bother. I won’t read or respond. Other comments are welcome.
