89: Mass Confusion

Hasidic Jews and the Measles Vaccine Precedent

The discussion examines the treatment of Hasidic Jewish communities during measles outbreaks prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The hosts point out that these communities faced significant state pressure and "hell" for their vaccination stances, yet were largely ignored by civil rights organizations like the ADL. This is cited as evidence that the system grants and takes away "privilege" based on political utility rather than consistent principles.
