Untangling how the Orthodox Jewish Media was weaponized against Orthodox Jewish Anti Vaxxers
As I have noted previously on this blog, there is a coordinated ongoing campaign to throw Orthodox Jewish, healthy, unvaccinated,unexposed, kids out of their schools, and to throw their entire families out of the Orthodox Jewish community in the United States. This operation involves several moving parts but one aspect has been the delegitimization propaganda push. In the Orthodox Jewish Media.
Orthodox Jewish Anti Vaxxers have been deliberately protrayed as evil,murderous,dangerous, and so on, in the true spirit of Der Sturmer. But it is not Nazis who have been pushing this false narrative, it is their fellow Jews.
Here is the latest example from the Twitter feed of Yosef Rapaport who is referred to online as "media relations coordinator for Agudath Israel of America" and a contributor to the Hamodiah newspaper.

Good! Facebook under pressure to halt rise of anti-vaccination groups

What his tweet is calling for is an abolition of free speech. So beyond the issue of ignoring the Plotkin deposition,ignoring the CDC whistleblower William Thompson recordings, Ignoring the nonexistence of vaccine safety science, now Mr Rappaport wants to censor you and shut you up. I don't see any one from Agudath Israel or Hamodiah putting out statements distancing themselves from the propaganda being spread by Mr Rappaport.
I did see an online storm erupt from Agudath Israel connected lay leaders when AIPAC was slandered by a Muslim Congresswoman, so evidently when they want to get a message out they are able to do it. The silence on this issue is quite palpable.

If you are neutral in
situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If
an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are
neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
