Two doctors at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv contracted measles after treating an unvaccinated child with the disease.
According to a statement released by the Health Ministry on Motzei Shabbos, the doctors are currently in isolation. Both doctors were vaccinated and developed only a mild form of the disease.
The ministry stated, “Following a previous announcement, another vaccinated doctor has tested positive for measles. This is an unusual case in which two doctors at Ichilov Hospital were infected after treating an unvaccinated child who had measles.”
“The doctors are in isolation until the end of the infectious period. Since both were vaccinated, they are experiencing only mild symptoms. Following the epidemiological investigation, all those who came into contact with them have received preventive treatment.”
“Further tests have ruled out the possibility that any additional medical staff are infected. The Health Ministry and Ichilov Hospital are conducting a comprehensive epidemiological investigation, and the incident remains under close monitoring and review.”
“The Health Ministry reiterates its call for the public to get vaccinated. Measles is a preventable disease with a safe and effective vaccine.”

Who’s to blame?
Hey were they now vaccinated… And the vaccine should immune you for life…. Oh wait… It doesn’t. What a pity if only they would have real measles as a child that would have really been immune, and also be more protective against cancer and heart disease! Don’t believe me search PubMed on the benefits of having measles, it’s not my research it’s published research on PubMed but it’s hidden plain sight
Title “Febrile infectious childhood diseases in the history of cancer patients and matched controls”, I guess all these people who would have not have cancer are not counted when we calculate the benefits of the vaccine….
Wake up!
Anyone who buys this story is a certified moron.
Firstly, it’s the establishment that is supplying all the facts.
Unvaccinated patient, vaccinated doctors got mildly infected, but not seriously, due to them being vaccinated. And had the patient been properly vaccinated, the incident wouldn’t have happened at all…how many assertions are there in this narrative that one would have to accept on sheer authority, in order for this to be the truth?
It’s like an inverse IQ test. The more stupid you are, the more you pass their test.
