    To commentar “M” actually I believe she was a prominent anti vaxer on all vaccines.

    She was also a rare voice of reason against much of the irrational perspective today in medicine. We need more people of her stature to stand up against vaccine and c19 shot frauds.

    M-think she was sick for a while, I also don’t believe she took it, she was open minded. What a great loss to us.

    M, you’re so wrong! So, so wrong! She, in fact, was on the anti-vaxx side of the debate.

    M-
    I don’t think she holds by vaccines
    she was on a level of bitachon which a regular person isn’t on
    She was also very into only healthy natural things
    But I may be wrong

    I miss her already

    I still miss her

    And the chachmei yeshiva world have already distilled her life into whether she was pro or anti vaccines.
