Reply To: The Anti-Vaxxers are Causing a Chillul Hashem

There are risks in both vaccinating and
not vaccinating and debate over which is the bigger risk.

There’s not much of a debate. The vast majority of experts say the risks of not vaccinating far outweighs the risks involved in vaccinating.

The halachah is clearly that in medical matters, we follow the opinion of the majority of experts, and aren’t choshesh for the minority (or espouse conspiracy theories about the majority opinion).

The “psak” to not vaccinate simply doesn’t make sense.

That’s why the vast majority of poskim say to vaccinate. As to the small minority opinion, you’ll have to ask them.
