The submitter submits many articles. I don't see any vein of antisemitism in anything else they've submitted. Perhaps you're reading too much into it.

Submitter has made zero comments. Thanks for supporting your pet cause of antisemitism though. Let's review. > According to their analysis of public data, published in the New York Daily News, Orthodox schools in Brooklyn had an unweighted average vaccination rate of 96 percent. That’s higher than the 95 percent vaccination rate experts recommend in order for a community to be collectively immune from the disease. So the claim made that Orthodox Jews are to blame for measles because they don't get vaccinated is complete and absolute bullshit, totally disproven, and without merit. Why are you pushing it then soperj?

In contrast, six other New York counties have a vaccination rate below 50%.

  There was an article somewhere in the paper that reported that a group of ultraorthodox rabbis in the NYC area promulgated a statement saying that their congregations should follow the medical advice from the public authorities. They wouldn't do this if they hadn't got an antivaxer problem. Now if we could find out what other groups are undervaccinated and who they listen to (Foodbabe? Cardi?), perhaps those people could also make similar statements and vaccination rates would go up.
