Helping Refugees is nice but is it a situation where the US govt can not afford it and you can take Tzedaka money for it or is it a photo op for a manufactured kiddush Hashem story on social media
ReplyDeleteThis fellow actually goes out and does something to help others and you call it "manufactured..." People must be really busy around here
DeleteIt's called darkei sholom.
DeleteJust like when my Rosh Yeshiva told us to donate blood, based on what Rav Aharon ZTL told him. You have to show that we are good citizens.

“Once again, Gov. Murphy has shown courage by making this difficult decision to require vaccination or regular testing for all prekindergarten-to-12 personnel and public college-university employees,” said AFTNJ President Donna M. Chiera. “He’s putting politics aside and placing their health and safety and that of their communities as his top priority. Students do best academically and socially in classrooms, and requiring school personnel to be vaccinated or tested greatly contributes to the safest learning environment possible. That said, with the rise in breakthrough COVID-19 cases and the spread of the delta variant, we’re hopeful that testing of vaccinated individuals is the next safety protocol put into effect at New Jersey’s PreK-12 schools, colleges and universities so they can stay open throughout the 2021-22 school year.”

ReplyDeleteThis is both unreasonable and illogical.
ReplyDelete1.As long as the vaccinated are still getting sick and passing their infection on, there is no excuse for treating the unvaccinated any differently than the vaccinated.
2. If the mask is effective, there is no excuse for treating the unvaccinated any differently than the vaccinated.
3. As long as no distinction is made between the unvaccinated/uninfected and the unvaccinated/recovered, there is no excuse for treating the unvaccinated any differently than the vaccinated.
Even according to the official numbers, after 18mos, only 10% of the population has been infected and the overall fatality rate still stands at less then 1% of the total population.
Any reasonable and logical person can conclude that this orchestrated global response and the venom displayed against the gene therapy refusers as well as the innocent naturally-immune recovered is not only unreasonable and illogical, but mean-spirited and downright evil!
Testing should be done across the board to those vaccinated, unvaccinated, recovered or otherwise.
I find it strange that a year and a half into the pandemic, the same misguided statements are still cropping up.
DeleteMasks are effective, albeit not 100%. Which is why the unvaccinated are still a problem. Effective never meant 100%, not about anything.
Any reasonable and logical person can understand why its bad for the public if the rules differentiated between the previously infected and everyone else. Mean-spirited and evil is what we say about people who don't care about other people's health, bleating about their rights and whatnot.

DeleteSince when is 10% masking efficiency considered effective?

DeleteEven if it is only 10% as you say, it's a simple act of good faith towards people that causes you no harm, just minor inconvenience, and has the power to reduce transmission by 10 percent!
DeleteImagine, 10 percent fewer cases, fewer deaths, why wouldn't you rush to be masking?
And if it's better masks that we need, why aren't you rushing to get them?
We need the US government to provide proper masks as Israel did for its citizens by the Gulf War.

Delete“Any reasonable and logical person can understand why its bad for the public if the rules differentiated between the previously infected and everyone else.“
ReplyDeleteWe have no idea what your talking about ?
Why ?
There are many studies that previously infected people are much more protected.
Why shouldn’t we follow the science?
It’s incredible how biased you are !

I didn't explain myself, so you have no idea why I wrote "Any reasonable and logical person can understand why its bad for the public if the rules differentiated between the previously infected and everyone else."
DeleteThe explanation is quite simple. If the rules were changed for people who were previously infected, that would be back public policy. I don't think it is a stretch to guess what would have happened next. People, especially from our community, would have rushed to get infected, believing that the dangers didn't apply to them. That would have overwhelmed hospitals and killed many more thousands.
Although it is true that natural immunity is stronger than vaccines, public policy should not favor it.
This assumes that people appreciate what 'public policy' is, and they understand that they are not individuals, they are members of a public, and their actions affect others.
Sadly, many people, even in our community that should know better from Shas and Sifrei Mussar, do not think they have achrayus to others. They think that their own rights and property are the only things that count, and if they are safe, the world isn't important. Anyone who learned Bava Basra should know that this isn't true, but sadly many people don't internalize what they learn.
Your logic doesn't hold up. By keeping people isolated and developing vaccines we have extended this pandemic. If we would've allowed natural immunity to rule, while we may have lost more lives, the pandemic would have ended much earlier. And according to halacha, the rabim has no chiyuv to protect the yachad, it's a personal chiyuv. And I don't even believe that the deaths would be much higher, as most of the deaths were early on. There is also a threshold for what is considered a mageifa, and the current death rate does not classify as such. So if you want to go based on pure halacha, you are wrong.
DeleteYou're absolutely correct! The liberal media and government hypes this beyond belief!
DeleteBiden Blames Trump: “I bear responsibility for fundamentally all that's happened of late. But here's the deal...you know as well as I do that the former President made a deal with The Taliban
ReplyDeleteSince when did Biden feel obligated to keep agreements and arrangements negotiated by Trump? Even for Biden this is taking Trump blaming too far
No president reneges on deals that were made already. Except Trump.
DeleteIf all deals were short term, because another president can unilaterally renege on them, the country will have no stability.
EOs are not deals, and presidents change them the whole time.
