The mashgiach of a yeshiva in Hadera, known to be associated with the "Peleg Yerushalmi" - I do not know if that is relevant or not but it has been mentioned many times on the radio so I suspect it might be - has said something that sounds, to me, totally insane.
Rav Tuviah Novick has spoken out against vaccinations, though not the normal way with unfounded claims about vaccinations causing autism or anything like that. Rather he claimed that the vaccinations are really just the State pulling the wool over our eyes. According to Rabbi Novick, vaccinations, and he mentioned polio specifically, are really just made up of baking soda and bleach, and nobody has any way of knowing otherwise.
Rabbi Novick also said that if God forbid a typhus plague would break out... it is impossible to imagine the disaster and panic that would accompany it..

I hope parents pull their kids out of this yeshiva and switch them to another one. They should not let their children be educated by such a person.
God forbid if a typhus plague would break out... Does he not realize that the reason we no longer have typhus plagues breaking out is because of the vaccinations that prevent it (along with our having clean water). Does he not realize the reason we no longer have polio around us (and I grew up with a friend whose mother was confined to a wheelchair because of polio) is because of those vaccinations? Does he think that these diseases and plagues went away on their own?
I hope this idiocy is not indicative of his approach in any other aspect of his life, but I would not want my kid to be educated by him.
