There is a lot of confusion in this thread .
One comment in particular stuck out “pikuach nefesh is doche limud hatorah and tefilla betzibur, and basically kol hatorah kula. Why don’t they find that pikuach nefesh is doche a possible chilul Hashem?”
Lets count the errors:
1) no one said related to thsi pandemic that pikuach nefesh is doche limud hatorah. I did not miss a single day of Limud Hatorah this entire pandemic, if you did that is on you (unless was an ones) no one I know said not to learn, don’t try to hang your bitul Torah on what imaghinary commenters told you
2) pikuach nefesh IS doche limud hatroah, I was not aware this was controversial For example if you are a doctor and were tending to a patient then YES you do not ignore your patient to learn . Iwas not aware that this was a controversial idea. Aside from the above I cant think of a way the pandemic would have prevented one from learning Torah
3) Pikuach nefesh IS doche tefilah betzibur I was not aware this was controversial.
4) pikuach nefesh is NOT docheh chilul Hashem. In fact the mitzvah of Kidush Hashem includes Afilu hu notel es nafshecha
5) Delaying the vaccine a few weeks or months is not pikuach nefesh just keep social distancing a little longer

“a few years ago all Jews were anti vaxxers and thereby spreading measles. now this same religion is stealing vaccines?”
no one said ALL Jews were anti-vaxers. some where that is too many. No one said “the religion” is stealing vaccines. some adherents may have been that is too many
