Israel’s Health Ministry reported the country’s second death of a young child from measles. The victim, a one-and-a-half-year-old boy, fell ill at home for several days before being brought to the emergency department of a hospital in Yerushalayim. He had not been immunized with the measles vaccine, which is part of the standard childhood vaccination plan.
Medical personnel attempted to resuscitate him, performing CPR during the ambulance transfer and continuing efforts once he arrived at the hospital. Despite their attempts, the boy could not be saved and his passing was confirmed.
Officials explained that this comes just days after another toddler, also unvaccinated, succumbed to complications of the virus. That child had been dependent on an ECMO machine for weeks before ultimately dying earlier this week.
Since measles began spreading in Israel around April, health authorities say that by Thursday, August 14, 2025, there have been 526 confirmed cases, of which 209 remain active. Yet, the ratio of hospitalizations and fatalities compared to total reported infections suggests that the actual scale of the outbreak is larger than official numbers indicate. Typically, in developed countries, about nine people per 1,000 measles cases require hospitalization, and one per 1,000 dies.
The greatest concentration of patients is in Yerushalayim and Beit Shemesh, with most severe cases involving children who have not received vaccinations.
As of Thursday, 19 children under six years old remain hospitalized, two of them in intensive care. One of those is still attached to an ECMO machine. On Wednesday, doctors were unable to save another unvaccinated two-year-old, who died after battling the disease.
Measles, a highly infectious virus, generally begins with fever, exhaustion, runny nose, and rash, but it can quickly escalate into dangerous and sometimes fatal complications.
The Health Ministry’s regular vaccination program calls for two shots—one administered at the age of one and the second given in first grade. Because of the outbreak, the ministry has instructed clinics in high-risk regions to move up the timing of the second dose. Additionally, in outbreak centers such as Yerushalayim, Beit Shemesh, and Bnei Brak, an extra early dose is being recommended for babies between six and twelve months old.
The Ministry appealed to the public, stating: “If you feel unwell, avoid attending crowded events. In case of need, coordinate your arrival at a clinic or emergency room and inform the medical staff. Vaccination saves lives.”
Parents can book appointments for the measles vaccine through the Health Ministry’s *5400 hotline or by contacting their local health fund.

If I wear a mask, will it protect me?
Israel must have the most gullible people as they can fool them again so soon with the same lie. Americans and Europeans wouldn’t fall for these fear mongering campagn, as they’re well aware that measles for little kids is a healthy disease which nobody died from before vaccine appeared about 55 years ago. They tried “Unvaccinated Child Dies from Measles” propaganda in Texas but it was disproved in no time, clearly proving that the child died in the hospital…. just like they “died” in hospitals during Covid. Is this korban Jewish?
Wow, this really IS very sick audacity!! The headline of this news story is expected to get us all whopped up about two children (who had not been vaccinated) who “in less than a week,” died (supposedly) from measles.
However — like it is with all uses of propaganda, which is simply outright lies and fiendish deceptions — there is no mention here at all of how, every day, I repeat, EVERY DAY, countless HUNDREDS, and even countless THOUSANDS, of children go into horrific convulsions AND DIE upon receiving their measles (and/or other variations of the MMR) vaccination shots.
And what about the many schools of autistic children that suddenly mushroomed in the last few years globally, Hashem yerachem. There were no autistic children before 1970 and neither was anyone allergic to anything. Parents have to be blind and stupid to continue injecting their children with the poisonous vaccines.
More big pHARM propaganda to sell their poison injections! No one knows why the kid died, they never isolated a measles virus let alone proved it killed anyone, kids with measles like symptoms can be healed with vitamin C and D.
How about a report about the thousands that died or were severely injured from the measles vaccine —– like 1 in 31 children getting autism, sids deaths after a shot????
