​​New York City vaccination order shines spotlight on insular Jewish community

Even among #NY's Chassidic Jews, members of the ultra-Orthodox #Satmar sect are known for their strict religious and cultural traditions. They speak mainly #Yiddish. They shun the secular world. They are skeptical, if not suspicious, of anyone from outside their insular community in #Brooklyn’s #Williamsburg neighborhood. Now the refusal of some parents to vaccinate their children — a decision not based on any religious proscription — and a resulting measles outbreak have brought public health authorities to their doorsteps in a collision of cultures that could turn messy.

On Wednesday, the city sent 15 to 20 “disease detectives” into the community, some with Yiddish interpreters, a day after Mayor #BilldeBlasio (D) vowed to quash the outbreak with $1,000 fines and misdemeanor charges for anyone in certain areas who refuses to be immunized.

The workers, wearing blue Health Department jackets, conducted interviews in the homes of people who may have been exposed to the dangerous, highly contagious measles virus and checked the immunization records of all those they may have had contact with. Others pored over records for the same information at a federally funded health clinic in the heart of the community.

CDC: Record measles outbreak fueled by anti-vaccination propaganda

The #US is experiencing its largest #Measles outbreak in a quarter-century with no end in sight and its epicenter is in #NYC’s Chassidic communities, where anti-vaccination misinformation is posing a problem for health officials trying to end the outbreak.

"The biggest challenge we face right now is misinformation and myths about the vaccine. It's important that parents realize that the vaccine is safe and effective," said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.

Anti-vaccination propaganda targeted specifically to parents has popped out throughout Chassiddic communities in #Williamsburg and in #Rockland. and it appears to have convinced some mothers that the vaccines are more dangerous than the disease. The vast majority of the 704 confirmed measles cases in 22 states are located in these communities, according to the #CDC's latest data. Of those cases, 432 are in #Brooklyn.
