jewelbarnettphd Oh... Thoughts and prayers

Jews once again 🤔

Don’t allow those children in public places, especially schools. Remove dependent deduction from their taxes and all benefits. If that harms the children then take them away from their parents.

There is a contingency within the Orthodox community in Lakewood, New Jersey that don’t vaccinate their children. The state provides public bussing services to take many of these children to their private schools. Those busses are outbreak vessels.

Lakewood, New Jersey 👀

Ya think the mass flow of illegal immigrants could be part of the problem?

Not vaccinating children is absurd.

I'm Jewish and there was no issue of vaccinations when I was a kid. What is the religious reasoning with the Orthodox Jews?

So is happening in the South-East Asia for similar reasons..

Well good thing they racially profile - Anyone that tried to live in any of their apartment buildings should feel ecstatic 🤨

No one could have seen this coming
