Bootstrap 2 site, tapping on iOS Safari suddenly not working


I have several angry customers on my hand because suddenly a Bootstrap 2.3 site is not responding to any tap input from iOS users. To my knowledge nothing major has changed on the site and I cannot find any errors. The address is https://tevfd.org

I noticed that if I remove <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> tapping works again but I lose my responsive functionality. What is going on??

UPDATE

This is also happening on another responsive site, http://coplefire.org, which does not use Bootstrap. What on earth is going on? Did Apple recently change something?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
