Rabbi Chananya Weissman quotes a government propaganda campaign for a measles vaccine (same as was done for the Corona shots):
“Due to an increase in morbidity, the response to give vaccinations has been increased and reception hours at baby clinics and health clinics have been expanded, and it is possible to arrive without an appointment.”
Rabbi Weissman trenchantly comments:
If you need an MRI in Israel, you will probably have to wait months. If you need to see a medical specialist, the same is generally true as well. When your appointment finally arrives, you must show up early, and then expect to wait an hour or more anyway, and there is nothing you can do about it.
If you have a stroke and go to the emergency room, you might wait 9 hours or more for them to find you a bed and take care of you, while you languish among all the other people screaming in pain and begging for help. (I experienced this personally with someone close to me who had a stroke, which they confirmed on arrival, but only received care 9 hours later after I called the management and threatened to call every donor named on the wall and report what’s going on — they magically found him a bed shortly thereafter).
But if you want a measles shot, just walk right in unannounced and they will be HAPPY to stop everything and inject you or your child. Go right to the front of the line.
Because they care about you and your health. That’s their top priority.
Maybe ER patients should say they want a measles shot, and by the way, can you do something about the stroke, too…
Exactly! And I’m writing down the tip about invoking the hospital’s donors.
