The death of 8-year-old Jonathan Erlichman, who became the face of child vaccination against Covid-19 in Israel, caused shock and outrage in society. Many people wonder how safe and effective the mRNA products of Pfizer, which the four-time vaccinated child received, are. And also, why the leading media outlets of the country are silent about this tragic case.
In this article, we will try to understand the details and facts related to the death of Jonathan Erlichman, as well as analyze the role of the media in shaping public opinion on vaccination.
Who is Jonathan Erlichman?
Jonathan Erlichman was an 8-year-old boy who lived in the city of Rishon LeZion in Israel. He studied in elementary school and loved to play soccer. He was also an actor who starred in commercials dedicated to promoting child vaccination against Covid-19. In these commercials, he addressed his peers and urged them to get vaccinated, to protect themselves and their loved ones from the dangerous virus. He also said that vaccination would help return to normal life, visit school, friends and relatives. He claimed that he himself received the vaccine and felt good.
How did he die?
According to Israeli media, Jonathan Erlichman died on October 10, 2023 from a heart attack. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition, but doctors could not save him. The causes of his death have not been established yet, but it is assumed that it could be related to vaccination against Covid-19. According to his father, Jonathan received four doses of Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine, the last of which he received on September 28, 2023. The father also said that Jonathan had no chronic diseases and was a healthy child.
What is Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine?
Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine, also known as Comirnaty, is one of the most common and approved vaccines against Covid-19 in the world. It is based on a new mRNA technology that introduces genetic material into the human body that encodes the spike protein of the virus. This should stimulate the human immune system to produce antibodies and protect against infection. The Pfizer vaccine requires two doses with a 21-day interval, but in some countries, including Israel, it is recommended to receive a third dose after 6 months of the second, and a fourth dose after a year.
How safe and effective is the Pfizer vaccine?
According to Pfizer, its vaccine has high efficacy in preventing severe illness and death from Covid-19, as well as reducing the risk of infection and transmission of the virus. According to clinical trials, the Pfizer vaccine showed 95% efficacy after two doses and 88% efficacy after three doses. However, the Pfizer vaccine also has some side effects, which can be mild or moderate, such as pain and swelling at the injection site, headache, fatigue, nausea, fever, myalgia, arthralgia and lymphadenopathy. In rare cases, the Pfizer vaccine can cause serious complications, such as anaphylactic shock, myocarditis, pericarditis, thrombocytopenia, thrombosis and Guillain-Barré syndrome. According to the Israeli Ministry of Health, since the start of vaccination in the country, there have been 262 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis, of which 3 resulted in death. Most of these cases occurred in young men aged 16 to 30 years after the first or second dose of the Pfizer vaccine.
Why are the media silent about the death of Jonathan Erlichman?
The death of Jonathan Erlichman did not receive wide coverage in the Israeli media, which usually quickly and in detail report on any cases of death from Covid-19 or related to it. Some sources mentioned this case, but without mentioning his role in the vaccination campaign. This may be due to the fact that the media do not want to undermine trust in vaccination, which is a key element of the strategy to fight the pandemic in Israel. Israel was one of the first countries to start mass vaccination of the population, and achieved a high level of immunization. However, recently there has been a decline in demand for the vaccine, especially among young people and children. According to the Ministry of Health, as of October 10, 2023, only 58% of children aged 5 to 11 years and 72% of children aged 12 to 15 years received at least one dose of the Pfizer vaccine. Perhaps the media do not want to aggravate this situation, telling about the death of Jonathan Erlichman, who could be perceived as an example of successful and safe vaccination.
However, such silence may have the opposite effect, causing distrust and suspicion in society. Many people, especially parents of children who are not vaccinated or doubt the need for vaccination, may wonder why the media hide the truth about the death of Jonathan Erlichman. They may also look for alternative sources of information, which may be unreliable or biased. Thus, the media risk losing their reputation and authority, as well as contributing to the spread of fake news and conspiracy theories.
Was the vaccination against covid in Israel mandatory or voluntary? And what measures of coercion were there for those who refused to be vaccinated in Israel?
Vaccination against covid in Israel was voluntary, but accompanied by various measures of encouragement and restriction for those who refused to be vaccinated.
Among such measures were:
- Issuance of a “green passport” or “green tag” for those who received two doses of the vaccine or recovered from covid, which gave them the right to visit various places and events, closed to the unvaccinated.
- Introduction of a “purple badge” for organizations and enterprises that complied with sanitary rules and required their employees and customers to have a “green passport” or a negative test for covid.
- Mandatory testing for covid for unvaccinated workers in the fields of education, health, social services and other sectors, as well as the possibility of dismissal or fine for refusing testing.
- Restriction of entry into the country for unvaccinated foreigners and asylum seekers, as well as mandatory isolation for them for 14 days.
Thus, vaccination in Israel was not legally mandatory, but practically necessary for a full life in the conditions of the pandemic.
Note: If you have other data on the facts of coercion of vaccination in Israel, please write about it in the comments.
What is the reaction of society to the death of Jonathan Erlichman?
The death of Jonathan Erlichman did not go unnoticed by society, which expressed its sympathy and support to his family and friends. Numerous posts appeared on social networks, in which people expressed their grief and indignation about the death of the boy. Some also accused the authorities and the media of hiding facts and manipulating public opinion. One of the most popular hashtags was #JusticeForJonathan, under which people demanded an independent investigation and find those responsible for the death of the child. An online petition was also launched, which collected more than 100 thousand signatures, calling for a halt to child vaccination until all the circumstances of the death of Jonathan Erlichman are clarified.
On the other hand, some people defended vaccination, believing that the death of Jonathan Erlichman was accidental and not related to the Pfizer product. They argued that vaccination saves lives and prevents severe complications from Covid-19. They also pointed out that death from a heart attack in children can have different causes, not related to vaccination, such as congenital heart defects, infections, stress, heredity, etc. They urged not to panic and not to believe rumors, but to trust scientific data and medical recommendations.
What is the opinion of experts on the death of Jonathan Erlichman?
The death of Jonathan Erlichman also aroused interest and discussion among medical experts, who are trying to find out if there is a link between vaccination and a heart attack in a child. According to Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis, head of the public health department at the Ministry of Health, the death of Jonathan Erlichman is a “very rare and unusual case” that requires careful study. She said that currently there is not enough data to claim that the Pfizer vaccine causes heart problems in children, and that all cases of myocarditis and pericarditis associated with vaccination were mild or moderate, and fully curable. She also added that vaccination of children is an important measure to protect them from Covid-19, especially in light of the emergence of new variants of the virus, which may be more contagious and dangerous for children.
On the other hand, Dr. Haim Jacobi, a cardiologist and professor at Tel Aviv University, expressed his doubt in the safety of the Pfizer vaccine for children. He said that the Pfizer vaccine can cause inflammation of the heart muscle and vessels, which can lead to heart failure and death. He also said that the Pfizer vaccine did not undergo sufficient trials on children, and that there is no guarantee that it will not cause long-term side effects. He called for a halt to child vaccination until more complete and reliable information is obtained about its impact on the child’s body.
What is the future of child vaccination in Israel?
The death of Jonathan Erlichman became a reason for revising child vaccination in Israel. According to the Ministry of Health, an investigation is currently underway into this case, and its results are expected to be published soon. Depending on these results, the ministry may change its recommendations on vaccination of children, taking into account also data from other countries that have also started vaccinating children against Covid-19. It is possible that vaccination of children will continue, but with stricter criteria and control, or that it will be suspended or canceled, if a link is proven between the Pfizer vaccine and heart problems in children.
In any case, the death of Jonathan Erlichman became a tragic reminder that the vaccine is not only a medical, but also an ethical and social issue, which requires a responsible and balanced approach. It is necessary to take into account not only the potential benefits and risks of the vaccine for children, but also their right to informed consent, as well as the interests and concerns of their parents and society as a whole. In any case, the legal and libertarian approach is that vaccination should not be imposed or coerced, but should be based on voluntariness and trust. Any compulsory and mandatory medical intervention under the threat of state coercion is unacceptable! It is also necessary to ensure transparency and objectivity of information about the vaccine, its side effects and alternatives. Only in this way can the safety and health of children be guaranteed, as well as protect them from Covid-19 and its consequences.
The question remains open: were people in Israel insured against negative consequences from the covid-19 vaccination or not? And will the family of the deceased Jonathan Erlichman receive an insurance payment?
