That is utter nonsense:
"However, the New York State Health Department reports the average vaccination rate for measles among the nearly 200 Jewish K-12 schools in Brooklyn — mainly in Borough Park and Williamsburg — is 96%, six percentage points higher than the statewide average among private schools. In contrast, six other New York counties have a vaccination rate below 50%."
And just to be clear, these are Orthodox K-12 schools we are talking about.

> The rate of vaccine refusal for Orthodox Jews is radically higher than the general public--second only to Jehovah's Witnesses on a proportionate basis.
Where in the world are you getting such utter crap data from?
There were some schools at 77%, but that was not vaccine refusal, that was just kids who hadn't made time to go to the Dr., when prompted virtually all of them vaccinated. And that's from the CDC itself.
- gamblor956 7y agoI see that you made your point with data from 2012-2013, which is largely irrelevant to my comment. https://www.jta.org/2019/06/07/united-states/heres-what-we-know-about-orthodox-vaccination-rates https://www.jta.org/2019/06/07/united-states/heres-what-we-k... The County at issue in that outbreak confirms the low vaccination rates as of 2018 and 2019, when the outbreak actually occurred.
