Elimelech criticized the opinion of the great men of Israel: "I researched and checked - go get vaccinated!""

December 15, 2020   

Medical advisor Rabbi Elimelech Firer publishes in a letter that he wrote that Maran Harav Kanievsky, Maran Rosh Yeshiva Harav Edelstein, and Maran Rosh Yeshiva Chacham Shalom Cohen teach that anyone who is able to get vaccinated against the coronavirus should do so. Aharon from Beit Shemesh receives 6,400 shekels every month because of depression. Maybe you deserve it too?  And so he wrote: "To the many who ask - after I was recently asked by the great and learned men of the generation to preach and investigate about the proposed vaccine against the coronavirus, and after I have researched and examined thoroughly with the required responsibility and presented my conclusions to the Marnan and Rabban, Maran Sar HaTorah Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, Maran Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Gershon Edelstein, Maran Rosh Yeshiva Chacham Shalom HaCohen, I hereby announce their opinion and on their behalf: 1. Anyone who is able to get vaccinated - is right to do so. (The experiment, which was properly conducted and according to all the parameters accepted and practiced in the world of medicine, proved that there is no risk in receiving the vaccine). 2. Those who suffer from allergies of all kinds, should consult with their family doctor on how to receive the vaccine under medical supervision. 3. Since the experiment was conducted among people aged 16 and older, young people up to the age mentioned above Those who wish to wait for the experiment of young people their age - they have something to rely on. With blessings and I remove illness from your midst, Avraham Elimelech Firer, Chairman of Ezra Lamrepa""
