[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would anyone listen to her?

In 2012 when her kids were around age 4 and age 7 she wrote a parenting book and stated, “We made an informed decision not to vaccinate our children”.

During a measles outbreak she walked it back and said her children were on a delayed, non-standard schedule rather than being entirely unvaccinated, stating they were later vaccinated between 2012 and 2015.

So she reevaluated and changed her mind? Isn’t that a good thing?[/quote]

No, when you write a parenting book you open yourself up to criticism. She promoted the book by highlighting besides being an actor she has PhD in neuroscience from UCLA. So she can easily find the research: Measles is one of the world's most contagious diseases. Many people cannot get protected against it.

Bialik's statements on vaccination ignore the fact that fact that vaccine refusal is not just a personal decision but one that affects others as well. Many Jewish rabbis and scholars were really upset at her stance. Here are some of the comments from the Times of Israel when she was interviewed about her anti-vaccine stance:

“As a rabbi, I argue that a parent’s decision not to vaccinate signals a belief that the needs of his or her child supersede the community’s welfare. Such a decision goes against the Jewish values that dictate promoting peace and building a better world.”

Another rabbi stated, “Judaism does not believe in radical individualism. Rather, it believes in communal responsibility. We are responsible for one another.”
