Health – according to you we should have a tour month lockdown every year. There are thousands of deaths every year from flu.
As for the vaccine argument – according to your logic it is not a valid point. The flu vaccine is generally about 45% effective. Depending on the year it can be 30-60% effective based on how well they guess the strain.
Additionally, about 25% of flu deaths are from people who were vaccinated. These are CDC numbers. So there are about 10,000 flu deaths every year from people who were vaccinated. According to you we should shut down for four months every year. But we don’t. Because the Torah doesn’t tell us to. That’s not how the Torah looks at public policy.
We are not directly killing people here. It’s not like one specific person will definitely die. In that case we don’t kill him. But here we are just talking about random people who may get sick and die. Much different.
