Israel’s Health Ministry announced on Motzei Shabbos that a toddler passed away from measles on Shabbos.

The death of the toddler, an 18-month-old from Beit Shemesh Ramah Daled, follows the death of a two-year-old toddler from Jerusalem from measles complications on Wednesday. Both toddlers were unvaccinated.

Shaare Tzedek Hospital reported, “A toddler was brought to the pediatric emergency room at the medical center this afternoon in critical condition due to measles. The toddler arrived while undergoing prolonged resuscitation that began at the scene. Despite continued resuscitation efforts in the emergency room, unfortunately, the team had to pronounce him dead. We share in the family’s deep sorrow.”

Hatzalah paramedic Nati Ben-Shimon and senior medic Shlomo Gudelevsky reported, “When we arrived at the scene, we saw a one-and-a-half-year-old toddler, unconscious, not breathing, and without a pulse, after, according to his family members, he had been ill with measles. Together with MDA medics and paramedics, we immediately began performing advanced resuscitation procedures, including chest compressions, respirations, and the administration of life-saving drugs, and he was evacuated by an MDA intensive care unit for further treatment in the trauma room at Shaare Tzedek Hospital in Jerusalem, where, unfortunately, the doctors were later forced to pronounce his death.”

Since the measles outbreak began in April, 526 measles patients have been diagnosed, with 209 currently active cases.

Most of the recently diagnosed patients are from Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh, and most of those hospitalized are unvaccinated children.

As of Thursday, 19 children are still hospitalized, all under the age of six. Two of the children are in intensive care, including one connected to an ECMO.

  1. Are these cases where the parents are against vaccines or is it just that these toddlers happen not to have been vaccinated yet? If the latter, we should be sensitive to the parents and not make it look like that they were at fault. Their loss is painful enough w/o people pointing fingers at them.

  2. If this is mostly occurring in the Hareidi community say so!! LO sa’amod al dam reieicha! Why arte not the gedolim speaking out?

  3. One child supposedly dies from measles and you write an article on it. Were there other health conditions? Was he treated properly for measles or was he neglected on order to make an example of “what happens to the unvaccinated “?
    Even if the story is accurate, have you calculated how many children died or were injured as result of these toxic vaccines? Of course you won’t write an article on that. You pushed all the covid lies. You pushed the deadly vaccine. You have blood on your hands. I challenge you to take an objective deep dive into the vaccine debate. Start with this: not a single vaccine was safety tested against a placebo control group. Subjects in Hep B vaccine trials were tracked for days not years. I can go on for hours. You don’t search for truth. You push the popular narrative. Shame.on you.
