What does law say about vaccination?
The Torah of course predates the development of vaccines, but someone who knows far more than I argues that it requires its followers to receive a COVID vaccine. What's quoted in the news article is far simpler than I think his actual analysis must have been. https://www.jns.org/opinion/get-vaccinated-now-the-torah-commands-it/ I am curious about the reasoning and its religious soundness. Happy as I am with his conclusion, and "miracle" may not be too strong a word for the mRNA vaccines, I lack the background to evaluate his arguments.
