The Vizhnitzer Rebbe fiercely condemned anti-vaxxer leaders while saying Divrei Torah at the Shalosh Seudos tisch last Shabbos, reports YWN.
“They are irresponsible people, they think they know better than doctors,” the Rebbe said.
The Rebbe mentioned polio which broke out 70 years ago, emphasizing: “People are still suffering from it until this very day.”
The Rebbe also encouraged his chassidim to increase their tefillos for the pandemic to end “so it will be possible to live a life full of Torah and Simcha without any disturbances, just like in the past.”
On Sunday, a special vaccination drive was held in Kiryat Viznitz for people who hadn’t yet been vaccinated.
Last week, the Rebbe instructed that all bochurim over the age of 16 should be vaccinated.
