Rabbi Anava questioned the large amount ordered with "How many vaccines does a person need?" That's a question of naivete. As a health reporter I assure you that the PM's response/ordering is a combination of panic and realism: realistic panic. It is normal that countries anticipate that the entire quantity which they are ordering will not be delivered timely or at all. For example, Israel has only received half the flu vaccines they ordered so far. It makes sense to order more than you need.

The skepticism was based on naivete. Stay in your lane. If you don't know how or why the medical world functions, ask questions instead of making assumptions. Also, do not misinterpret t his message to advocate COVID-19 vaccination. I am not qualified to make the decision.

I disagree with your assumptions, Yocheved. I did not hear a question about the amount of vaccines bought. He made the point that the government announced that it would be enough for 4 million people, roughly half the population, so when they said 8 million doses were bought, clearly (and the government already admits this), it will be given in two doses per person. After years of listening to him, I would have to say that he is the least naive of all the rabbis since Rabbi Kahane, ztz"l, Hy"d.

Furthermore, I take exception to the remark "stay in your lane. If you don't know..." You have made conclusions, without basis as far as I can see, about what the rabbi knows and doesn't know. And "stay in your lane" is just plain rude.
