The Vaccine Safety Handbook carries the slogan, “You can always vaccinate later. You can never unvaccinate" and includes pages of misinformation about vaccines, including the well-debunked link with autism, as well as advice from rabbis about the “Biblical commandment” to avoid putting one’s life or health in danger — including the danger of vaccines.

    This is extremely harmful propaganda because it is spreading misinformation that can potentially kill someone. The Vaccine Safety Handbook is propaganda that is targeted at orthodox jews to give inaccurate information about the safety of vaccination. The anti-vaccine "facts" are from a study that links autism to vaccination, although that study has been widely debunked as inaccurate. The propaganda targets orthodox jews specifically because it provides advice from a rabbi, someone whose opinion is highly respected and looked at as a spiritual leader. He makes the claim that vaccination are essentially a sin. This is very danger and could put a lot of lives at risk.
