NY Summer Camp Bans Anyone Who Has Been Vaccinated — and Pushes COVID Vaccine ‘Biological Weapon’ Conspiracy


On Saturday, The Times of Israel reported that Camp Hikon, a planned Orthodox Jewish summer camp in upstate New York, has stated its plans to bar vaccinated children or counselors from the facility — and that their website is laden with conspiracy theories and misinformation about COVID-19.

Advertisements for Camp Hikon, planned for upstate New York, appeared on email listservs popular in the Orthodox Jewish community just days after a private school in Miami made news for discouraging teachers from getting the vaccine and telling children they were not to have contact with vaccinated people,” reported Shira Hanau. “The camp’s announcement also comes as posters encouraging people not to get the COVID-19 vaccines appeared in Midwood, Brooklyn, the Orthodox neighborhood where one member of the founding team runs a natural foods store.”

According to the report, the camp is a project of Brooklyn “health coach” Naftali Schwartz, who has “no formal training in medicine or public health.”

“Drawing on a debunked theory spread by the anti-vaccination movement, the camp’s website cites the ‘experimental nature’ of the COVID-19 vaccines,” said the report. “According to the false theory, living in close quarters with vaccinated people could ‘enhance’ the spread of the coronavirus. The website refers readers to a site called NutriTruth which claims vaccines are a ‘biological weapon,’ and to a livestreamed discussion between several notable anti-vaxxers.”

2. Completely insane-- this is from that same small part of the haredim that refused measles...

vaccines, causing the outbreaks in Brooklyn and Rockland County.

From what I understand, most rabbis and influencers are all for vaccination-- the scriptures, after all, do tell them not to harm themselves. It's small groups of largely insular ultra-orthodox who distrust the government who reject vaxxing.

In that, they are not so much different than Protestant Christianity. Both have no Pope or other central authority, so the fringes are free to come up with all sorts of wackiness.

3. There are several Protestant churches in my area that are anti-mask, anti-vaccine.

Because God is all about not taking the simplest steps to protect your family, your friends, your loved ones, your fellow human beings?
