Doctors at Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon think that six-year-old Yosef Naim, z’l, who passed away on Sunday a month after contracting COVID, passed away of a complication of the flu and his death was not related to COVID, Kan News reported on Tuesday.
Naim’s parents, residents of the southern town of Netivot, couldn’t wake up their son on Monday morning. He apparently had passed away in his sleep after suffering from fever and other symptoms for a day or two. Doctors are carrying out an investigation and believe that Naim had been suffering from the flu which caused myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart, which led to his death. However, the investigation is not yet complete.
Israel has had a high number of people hospitalized with the flu since the flu season began last month, according to a recent report by the Israel Center for Disease Control (ICDC). Health officials are concerned that fewer people are getting vaccinated for the flu this year due to “vaccine burnout.”
Yosef’s sisters were also suffering from fever, vomiting, and shortness of breath, and his oldest sister, 10, was taken to the hospital the night before his death after suffering a seizure. The other three sisters were hospitalized following Yosef’s tragic death.
As of Tuesday, three sisters are still hospitalized but Baruch Hashem are in good condition.
Yosef’s mother was interviewed by Channel 12 News and spoke with incredible words of emunah right after losing her only son: “Jews don’t ask why. It says in Tehillim למה יאמרו הגוים. Goyim ask why. We ask: ‘For what?’ What were we supposed to take from this, what should we improve?'”

BDE to this poor family
My question is
Was everyone in the family recently vaccinated? A recent video is circulating claiming the boy was vaccinated for covid a week or so before his death
sariray,
Everything is possible. However, in general, people that have contracted Covid are not vaccinated for a few months.
This whole story is very sad.
But why would she have to bring a proof to this fundamental point from a convoluted and not real, interpretation of ‘Lomo Yomru Hagoyim’? And why degrade all other Nationalities with this weird Pshat?
Ader, stop preaching your apikorsus. It is a FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE OF THE TORAH that we are different from the nations. We are BETTER than the nations. If you don’t like it, you may as well take off your yarmulka and join some universalist religion; yiddishkeit is particularist and parochialist and nationalist and every other synonym you have for “priimitive”. We say shelo osani goy every morning, because it can happen, chas veshalom, that a yid wakes up with a goy’s nefesh; maybe that happened to you.
To Millhouse:
We are taking this concept a bit too far. Look at the last few Pesukim in Sefer Yonah. See Rambam where he writes that we should empathize with none Jews and their needs. Not just because of Eivo, but pure Rachmonos as one Human to another, Ma Hu Rachum Af Atah Rachum. Unfortunately, none of that exists in our Chinuch, and who knows how much we Yidden have suffered because of that. HKB”H has instigated the reciprocal hatred from the Nations towards us.
WHO CARES? AGAIN, WHO CARES?
