(Independent UK) An ultra-Orthodox rabbi has told his followers to avoid getting a Covid vaccine because it can “make them gay”.

According to news outlet Israel Yahom, Mr Asor used a recent sermon to claim: “Any vaccine made using an embryonic substrate, and we have evidence of this, causes opposite tendencies. Vaccines are taken from an embryonic substrate, and they did that here, too, so ... it can cause opposite tendencies," seemingly referring to homosexuality. .......(more)

9. wait. I thought they said being gay was a choice?

How can it both be a choice and caused by a vaccine?

I'm soooooo confused. What do they mean?

16. When GOD made this guy, GOD perhaps didn't give this guy enough brains or something...

If and when someone makes a statement like this, it doesn't really score any points, other than to fly backwards into one's face making the false statement and damage their own integrity. Like that saying, "A fool is born every minute", "An idiot is made every minute".

SMH. When will these people get off of gay bashing? Aren't there enough things to talk about, preach about, to not go into a false diatribe?
