A Healthy Vaccine (The Torah's Perspective on a Covid Vaccine)
Billions of dollars and countless efforts are being spent on corona virus testing, contact tracing, developing medications and vaccines. The mainstream attitude is that there’s a worldwide epidemic coming from some evil natural force and we need to use our intellect, technological, and medical abilities to overcome it. We will suffer terrible loss of civil liberties, physical illness and death, and financial and psychological damages. These are accepted as necessities to endure until our salvation arrives in some product from a pharmaceutical Messiah.
Our Torah teaches us three levels of health before we even get to the discussion of medical treatment:
1) The spiritual source for the illness. It says in Exodus (15,26) “And He said, If you hearken to the voice of the Lord, your God, and you do what is proper in His eyes, and you listen closely to His commandments and observe all His statutes, all the sicknesses that I have visited upon Egypt I will not visit upon you, for I, the Lord, heal you”. Our great commentaries like Rabeinu Bachya expound on this verse that “God assures us that all sickness which occur in nature and affect mankind will not affect us if we observe the Torah”. The Talmud is replete with examples of various illnesses that result from specific sins (for example see Shabbos 32b). In the ways of the righteous (chapter 8) he describes the callousness and cruelty sinners have for causing these illnesses. He says “All suffering that exists in the world is a result of sin”.
Many of our leaders have diagnosed that the specific sin causing respiratory viruses as we are all suffering from today is the sin of baseless hatred and speaking negatively about others. In scripture we know that such speech caused illness to Miriam (Numbers chapter 12), and it is the main cause for this final exile (Yoma 9b).
2) The natural dietary changes to bring spirituality into our bodies. It says in Exodus (23,25) “And you shall worship the Lord, your God, and He will bless your food and your drink, and I will remove illness from your midst”. Our great commentaries like Rabeinu Bachya expound how many illnesses in nature come through poor diet and changes in the atmosphere. Through eating healthy spiritually blessed food the illness will be cured and we will not need a doctor.
3) The permission for an expert with wisdom of natural treatments of herbs vitamins and minerals to cure the illness. It says in Exodus (21,19) “and he shall provide for his cure”. Our sages teach us from these words that we are instructed to go to a doctor to cure an illness if necessary (Bava kama 85a). The healing of the doctor we’re referring to is by using natural herbs and drugs. We are advised (Pesachim 113a) that this step should only be taken as a last resort. This is for two reasons. 1. The financial burden. Drugs are expensive and once one starts with them his body becomes accustomed to them.
Only after these three categories are exhausted are we allowed to engage in the otherwise sinful activity of harmful treatments of drugs and vaccines which have side effects of injury.
During this pandemic minority impoverished communities are from the greatest casualties, both in the physical and economic hardship. Our leaders are offering different plans to help the lower class. One plan is to create more jobs so they won’t be lower class anymore. Others suggest to give them money and health care to deal with their illnesses. I would like to suggest a third plan. The plan of purification.
Our sages teach (Pesachim 113a) that the first response to illness should be an imp
The virus comes directly from our creator and for a specific purpose. HaShem already prepared a natural and healthy vaccine for this illness way before it came. He also told us exactly what this vaccine is and how to administer it to the public.
The Hebrew word for illness is חולה. It literally means a lack of holiness. The cure for all illness is in some holy endeavor.
Although much about this virus is convoluted, there is one thing that is absolutely clear. The level of illness and death it causes is dependent on the strength of the immune system. In fact, the definition of a vaccine is a substance that will stimulate the immune system to fight the illness. It’s interesting that the word in Modern Hebrew for vaccine is the same word as immune, חיסון. The word literally means strength. This strength can be accomplished naturally or synthetically.
The health vaccine of our white plan is one of loving care for the wellbeing of every human being (which is the holiness we need and why HaShem brought the virus). We should make tests available for everyone (subsidized or free for the lower class).
The test has four parts:
A blood test to check for the necessary nutrients required by the immune system (such as Vitamin D, B12, Magnesium, and Zinc), and have available supplements according to the individuals need.
Consultation with a nutritionist to advise the individual to eat and live according to his metabolism.
Consultation with a social worker or therapist for guidance to deal with emotional issues.
Consultation with a life coach or occupational therapist to develop a plan for accomplishment and success.
Our failure to recognize and apply the clear guidance HaShem gave us for our cure brought us to a second wave of arousal. HaShem, in His infinite kindness, orchestrated an unprecedented global arousal to kindness and equality to every human being. We must stop brutality and racism. The source of these evils is the same as the cause for the virus. We’re involved in ourselves and not recognizing, understanding, and appreciating every other person for their unique greatness.
I appeal to all political parties, health organizations, spiritual organizations, kindness organizations and philanthropist to take this initiative and start the white plan for a healthy vaccine.
May we all see the unity of mankind in holiness with our salvation and redemption speedily in our days.
If you have the ability to publicize this message, please do. I tried in the press but it was refused because it's against their medical and religious beliefs. The message of today's censored media is that the virus comes from china (BTW, in Hebrew china is sin) and the only way do deal with it is to first pay big pharma for masks, tests, ventilators, drugs and research. And eventually pay them for their toxic unsafe and ineffective vaccine which will cure the virus, until it doesn't and we all need another dose. To suggest otherwise comes from spiritual privilege and is racism towards all the slaves of society.
