Anti-Vaxxers [#15688]

October 9, 2021

QUESTION:

Here in America (I’ve heard it’s also in Eretz Yisrael but here I see it with my own eyes), there are those who are opposed to the [COVID] vaccine (most of them are against all vaccines, not just the COVID vaccine), and they forge information in order to promote their opinion. They forge signatures of Gedolim and sign in the name of the Gedolim against vaccines. I spoke to a certain tzaddik about this and I said “They are suspected of lying”, and the tzaddik said to me, “They are not only suspected of lying, they are established liars.” These anti-vaxxers also say they have strong proofs against most doctors here who are saying that the vaccine is good (especially for those who are high-risk), but if they have real proof that they’re right then why do they need to make up lies? I need not elaborate on knowledge that’s well-known. I just want to ask: Why do these people think that they need to lie and make up information? Is this because we are living in a time period of history that’s confusing?

ANSWER:

Why should you involve yourself with all of the different parts of falsity on this world and to wonder if these people are lying or not? Our time is short and there is so much work to do, and it is upon us to figure out what we need to do personally.
If you have a particular reason to clarify this matter, you can write down the information you have and I will try to think about it, bli neder. Without the information, it is hard to know what’s true and what’s false.
