Rav Asher Weiss Shlit''a Responding to Vaccine Related Questions | Feb 7, 2021

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Asher Weiss’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

uh the rub has been a strong proponent of vaccination and two related questions to this following up on what the ref just said one is would you recommend that most dose require vaccination before tell me them come back and related to that someone is concerned that there have been some side effects of vaccination would you believe that in this case also there's patient autonomy in a patient and a person may decide whether to be vaccinated or not vaccinated or not regarding the triple vaccination for children for measles mumps i came out very strongly a few years ago and i said meisters do have the right to say we will not accept children that are not vaccinated i did not say the same regarding the covenant vaccination even though i very strongly feel that people should vaccinate and i cannot say this in more definitive and i cannot say this in more definitive terms i hope we will not need to decide should moisture close the doors to kids that are on vaccinate for the time being we're not vaccinating children not even in israel we're vaccinating adults even in israel we lowered the bar to 16 years and not i don't think children were in the trials of pfizer or modena so we don't really know how children will react to vaccination so let me just say
