A 15-month-old toddler died from measles on Thursday after losing consciousness at his home in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Mea Shearim.
He was resusicated by United Hatzlalah paramedics and rushed to Hadassah Har Hatzofim Hospital in critical condition.
Shortly later, the Health Ministry announced his death, stating: “An unvaccinated toddler died today from measles. This is the fifth death since the start of the outbreak. Three have died in the past week—all under the age of two and a half.”
 Hatzalah volunteers Dovid Levy and Pini Weiss recounted, “When we arrived at the scene, we found a 15-month-old toddler suffering from measles. He was not breathing and had no pulse. According to his family, he had not woken up from his sleep. Together with additional MDA paramedics and EMTs, we immediately began advanced resuscitation efforts, including chest compressions and ventilation. He was evacuated in critical condition by an MDA intensive care unit, with resuscitation ongoing, to the trauma room at Hadassah Har Hatzofim Hospital in Jerusalem.”
On Thursday morning, Hadassah Medical Center reported that an unvaccinated 11-month-old from Jerusalem passed away on Rosh Hashanah from measles complications, the fourth death since the beginning of the outbreak.
The baby was evacuated to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in critical condition about two months ago after contracting measles and suffering severe breathing issues. She was hospitalized in the pediatric intensive care unit and connected to an ECMO machine.
The medical staff fought for her life for weeks but the secondary illnesses she suffered as a result of the measles led to the collapse of her body’s systems. She passed away on the first day of Rosh Hashanah.
Earlier this week, the Health Ministry announced the death of an unvaccinated toddler from Jerusalem, the third death since the beginning of the outbreak.
As of Monday, there are 24 measles patients being treated in hospitals, including seven children in intensive care. The majority of patients are young unvaccinated children.

This must generate strong Rabbinic response demanding that parents vaccinate their children
This is so crazy why are they not treating it, in Texas they were all treated with nebulizing budesonide and glutathione dtc (special pure), vit A, and D and C. This is this is ridiculous, advice that has a vaccine somehow nobody’s treating it, this reason itself the vaccine must be banned people must start treating illnesses.
Side note 3 unvacinated and 2 vaccinated kids, so far the vaccine it 1000000000000% effective…..
You forgot to mention the child who had to be put on a respirator after the measles vaccine. Be transparent in your reporting and tell us about that case too, will you?
Let’s do a very important exercise in imagination. Picture not having ANYWHERE to take a child who has strep, flu, ear infection, or pneumonia for early treatment. Imagine that all the doctors’ offices and clinics said “Pneumonia? We aren’t allowed to treat that! Strep? You’re on your own, if it gets too bad, go to the hospital. Flu? We have nothing for you, go to the hospital.”
Don’t you think there would be hundreds of hospitalized children, as well as many who stayed home too long and had complications and bad outcomes?
Well, that’s what has happened here, as the Ministry of Health decreed no measles treatment outside of the hospital.
Measles trumps polio were wiped out in the past
We took shots and were protected
Today those with no scientific knowledge or training are leading and three children died needlessly
But it gets worse, as some hospitals were treating the patients very badly when they came in. In at least one case of death, that of the first child, it has been reported by multiple people that it was a clear case of hospital murder, and that this child was a planned Korban by the establishment. (And knowing this makes other parents rightfully afraid of a similar fate, so they stay home longer.) Now you understand what is actually going on.
Let’s talk medical.
Measles provokes a hyper-inflammatory immune reaction with oxidative stress, epithelial barrier breakdown, and a surge of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ). Management during the Texas outbreak incorporated multiple modalities aimed at dampening this cascade and preventing secondary complications:
Nebulized budesonide: delivered directly to the bronchioles, suppressed NF-κB–driven cytokine transcription, reduced airway edema, and improved pulmonary compliance in patients with reactive bronchospasm.
Glutathione support: restored depleted intracellular antioxidant reserves, neutralized viral-induced reactive oxygen species, and protected alveolar epithelium from oxidative apoptosis.
Vitamin A supplementation: corrected infection-induced retinol depletion; retinoic acid enhanced epithelial regeneration, supported mucosal IgA responses, and reduced keratopathy and mortality risk.
Vitamin D optimization: modulated adaptive immunity by tempering Th1/Th17 cytokine storms and upregulating antimicrobial peptides such as cathelicidin and β-defensin.
Hydration and electrolyte correction: countered insensible fever losses, preserved cerebral perfusion, and reduced risk of encephalopathy and metabolic derangements.
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG): selectively deployed in high-risk patients (immunocompromised, infants, or exposed pregnant women), providing passive antibodies that reduced viral replication and lowered the probability of severe complications.
Empiric antimicrobials: initiated where secondary bacterial pneumonia or otitis media was clinically suspected, with coverage typically aimed at Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus.
Supportive respiratory care: from supplemental oxygen to escalation toward mechanical ventilation in cases of severe pneumonitis or impending acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
This layered therapeutic framework directly addressed the immunopathophysiology of measles — oxidative injury, epithelial compromise, and cytokine dysregulation — and in practice resulted in favorable clinical outcomes in the overwhelming majority of pediatric patients during the Texas outbreak.
The fact that this child was found in the the state he was is just to blame the MEDICAL SYSTEM for their belief in vaccination being the only and Godly intervention.
@Joshua45 using chatGPT just shows you know nothing about this
Here’s a response to Joshua45’s dangerous misinformation (with help from ChatGPT)
This sounds impressive, but it’s mostly medical-sounding nonsense. Measles isn’t primarily a “cytokine storm” disease — its biggest danger is immune suppression and immune amnesia, which leave patients vulnerable to deadly secondary infections.
Of all the interventions listed, only vitamin A supplementation and basic supportive care (fluids, oxygen, treating bacterial complications if they arise) are actually recommended by WHO/CDC. Things like nebulized budesonide, glutathione therapy, and vitamin D “optimization” are not standard care and have no clinical evidence for measles.
The idea of a special “Texas outbreak framework” is pure invention — if such a protocol existed, it would be in CDC or medical literature, and it isn’t. What really prevents measles deaths is vaccination. Ironically, after listing all these supposed treatments, Joshua45 still blames doctors for trusting vaccines — when vaccines are the only proven lifesaving intervention against measles.
Moshe,
First of all, accusing me of using ChatGPT only shows you have no substantive argument. That’s your way of dismissing advanced terminology you clearly don’t understand. Unlike you, some of us were actually involved on the ground in Texas with physicians who treated these children directly — including when RFK Jr. came down and worked alongside a small team to ensure outcomes were far better than predicted. In fact, no child died except one, and that tragic case was tied to failure of proper treatment, not parental neglect.
Your claim that measles is “not a cytokine disease” is a gross oversimplification. Measles is a paramyxovirus that, beyond causing immune suppression, provokes intense inflammatory cascades in the respiratory tract. The danger arises when the cytokine-driven edema and epithelial injury narrow the bronchioles and compromise oxygenation. That’s why interventions such as nebulized budesonide and antioxidant support like glutathione were clinically useful — they directly mitigated airway inflammation and oxidative injury.
Yes, vitamin A and supportive care are documented in WHO guidelines, but pretending that’s the “only” effective approach ignores what was successfully implemented in Texas. Doctors there went beyond boilerplate recommendations — with vitamin A, vitamin D optimization, IV fluids, immune support, and targeted respiratory therapies — and the results speak for themselves: virtually no fatalities.
And here’s the real issue: your ignorance confirms the problem. The system has become so rigid and systemized that doctors are stripped of their creativity to treat. When they do step outside the box and achieve solid, documented results, instead of being hailed as heroes, they are dismissed as “non-conventional.” That is hypocrisy in its purest form. Breaking this system and letting doctors truly be doctors is where progress lies — because when freed from bureaucracy, they do far better than the system ever allows.
Who cares about these dead children as long as the misinformation spreaders get to continue their lies and fake information. It seems like they’ve saved so many lives already except for the ones that keep dying
You must admit, that all those who dare to speak against vaccines, Baruch Hashem, have never endured the unbearable tragedy, R”L, of losing a child because they rejected the life-saving gift of vaccines. Every anti-vaxxer who, chas v’shalom, has suffered the devastating loss of a child due to their reckless and foolish beliefs has admitted their grave error—too late. They now bear the crushing weight of their mistake, a lifelong punishment for their dangerous choices. Entire families torn apart, lives shattered, all because of vile misinformation spread by so-called “health” zealots peddling their poisonous, alternative-medicine lies—nothing but a treacherous Trojan horse of meshugas that endangers Klal Yisrael.
Hats off to you, Joshua45. Thank you for being a voice of sanity here.
I hope that readers will watch my very important interview in June with Dr. Pierre Kory, intensive care specialist, who investigated the Texas deaths and found them to be due to medical negligence, and Dr. Richard Bartlett, ER doctor who was on the ground in Texas treating children. B”H no children were lost who received proper treatment. https://rumble.com/v6un7fb-measles-treatment-and-vaccine-education-by-rofim-international-bikur-cholim.html
If only the Ministry of Health truly cared to save lives, this protocol is what they would implement.
They’re not stupid. It’s not that they are ignorant. They don’t want to provide treatment. Like by covid. WHY?
@sim_cha, I suppose you’re totally unaware of the thousands upon thousands of children who have died precisely as a direct result of receiving the “life saving gift of vaccines?” And the millions who are disabled from the “life saving gift?”
You clearly haven’t done any true research at all. Your education consists of media/pharma talking points.
Why don’t you actually speak with parents who lost children to SIDS within hours of vaccinating their healthy baby? Why don’t you talk to parents whose perfect children regressed into non-verbal autism immediately after “well-baby shots?”
Why don’t you get curious and meet with parents who vaccinated their older children, experienced detrimental effects, and therefore didn’t vaccinate their younger children – and find them to be so much healthier and developing better than their vaxxed siblings?
If you haven’t thoroughly checked out the “other side,” read the studies, and delved into the research with an open mind, (you need to spend months, at least, on this journey!) shame on you for naively, blindly, parroting the bribed, corrupt establishment and bringing their Rishus into our community.
