  2. In addition the rabbonim point out to cases of serious adverse reactions and that some even died suddenly after taking the shot.

    Are they going to give verifiable information about the people who had serious adverse reactions to the shot or even died or are they just going to repeat hearsay?

    Why do I know so many people who died or had serious adverse effects from Corona but no one who had the same from the vaccine?

  4. Many Rabbonim said שב ועל תעשה in 1930s as well, but of course, we don't talk about that.

    1. No comparison
      That was before anyone knew the outcome. Now there is evidence to base it on.

      What happened to gloves during corona in public places, now they are saying that the indoor partitions did mothing tobstop the spread but may have contributed to spread the virus with germs. They keep on changing the science and narrative to fit the agenda

  5. Yes I had a friend who died of sudden clot or heart attack they aren't sure, a week after the vaccine. No prior issues. 40 years old. I heard similar stories, if you didn't hear it it doesn't mean they don't exist. Btw did Terry dover (nurse who collapsed) ever resurface (aside from thst Bogosian video where u see the eyes clearly aren't hers)? No he rhusband is listed as single....

  8. I have no doubt that a certain number of people died sometime after the vaccine. A certain number of people also die sometime afer eating breakfast. Some die after eating lunch, some die after eating dinner, some die in their sleep, some die of strokes, some die of heart attacks, but that does not in any way show, establish, prove, corelate or connect their death to what thy were doing in the minutes, hours, or days leding to their deaths? My own 90 year father died several days after receiving the vaccine. Does that establish, prove or correlate his death to recipt of the vaccine?? Obviously not.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I guess its safe to asueme that the "Rabbonim and Poskim" believe the HUNDREDS that died of Covid in Lakewood, would not have been saved if a vaccine had been available in March 2020. Quite astounding.

    2. Hundreds of people in Lakewood died of covid ? Could you name more than ten ? No, you can't. That's because anyone who died and tested positive prior was classified a covid death because of government funding.

      You need to look at the overall mortality rate (adjusted for unnatural deaths), which is virtually the same it alweays was.

      Delete
    3. When the virus first hit in the first wave people in Lakewood died yes but there was no herd or natural immunity there were no treatments or therapeutics on how to treat patients. Yes there also was no vaccine. Now fast forward to this 4th wave BH there are no deaths and there is still a low vaccination rate.

      Delete
    4. besides for deaths,
      I believe there are at least hundreds of people in Lakewood with permanent damage from covid, we all know someone it affected. the vaccine offers a certain level of protection against this.

      lung kidney heart problems, fatigue brain fog etc.

      right now seems like modetna protects against delta covid significantly better than pfizer.

      Delete
    5. you can add loss of taste and / or smell to the list of covid long term side effects, some people still have not recovered these and its not pleasant. the vaccine can prevent people from losing these senses.

    6. @ anonymous 11:46 could you name 10 people? That’s holocaust denial in 1946. Go to hefkervelt archives March April 2020 it’s all there. Ten people, you say?! Wow. Qanon is alive and well in Lakewood nj, raboisai

    7. Moderna is many times more effective against the Delta variant, yet Pfizer is the only one that is FDA approved, and also the only one eligible for use in children 12-18, so what does that tell us? We are NOT very well protected, EVEN WITH the vaccine. Hashem yishmor!

  11. Traffic Armageddon south side of the lake. Cops directing traffic are making it exponentially worse. Thank you planning and zoning board members. I don't think you guys should be counted for a minyan on Shabbos or yom tov When there's no traffic.

    1. Make sure not to complain that we the taxpayers are paying for these cops to direct traffic instead of the developers and shopping mall owners.
      Or else they will arrange a protest in front of your house with the allure of free food for bachurim. Then the police will conveniently leave the area for 10 minutes for all mayhem to break loose and break windows etc. This is what happend erev Pesach when someone complained.
      Welcome to Lakewood.

  12. You see they didn’t let them build a shul in WG because of traffic so they don’t just ignore traffic.

  15. Not sure the big deal. Whoever had it does not have to get any vaccine period. In fact they should not get the vaccine. Since most of us already had it the whole discussion is not nogeia.

  16. @lessor

    You cited exactly 32 fatalities, undermining the whole argument that "hundreds" died. And how does that number compare to a normal year ? Someone do the math, but with over 100k residents, there are probably many funerals, especially in the age groups where most of these deceased were.


    And no one knows if all these were truly covid deaths, since the hospitals counted every person who had covid as a covid death.

    The only way to know how many people died in an epidemic is to measure the mortality rate over a given period of time, and to date no one has done that in Lakewood.

    1. Da Nile isn't only a river in Egypt. I have never seen so many people in denial as we see when we speak about the heavy toll that COVID has taken on us. To say COVID wasn't so bad makes as much sense as Holocaust denial. The facts speak for themselves and those in denial, who think they are smarter than everyone else, are, in fact, showing how ignorant people in denial can be.

  18. For all the smart people just look at the cdc government website vaers data there are 1000's of dead people after the vaccine. Maybe the rabbanim have heard from Dr's and experts the real facts and figures. The many dead from Lakewood that died in the beginning of Covid many were killed by the hospitals putting people on ventilators which was the wrong treatment and not giving the many drugs and therapeutics that are available that actually have saved people. In Halacha this that we are allowed to trust a Goy is only because there is a mirssah he's afraid of loosing his business or being sued but here there is no liability at all. Therefore it's not so pashut to except anything coming from the cdc or their followers. There are also thousand's of Dr's that are against the vaccine. When it's a safaek pikuach Nefashos we have to be machmir even for a Daas Yochid. Let's leave it to the Rabbanim to pasken and not show our amharatzus and stupitdy.

    Screaming dosen't make you correct.


    You picked the harshest months of the epidemic and then extrapulate them for the ensuing months; totally faulty math.

    In addition, you are using Ocean County numbers to reflect on Lakewood. But most of the deaths in Ocean County happened in nursing homes (there is a disproportinate amount of elder heathcre facilities in in OC), something you don't have in Lakewood.

    Even according to government numbers the total deaths in Lakewood is 300 something, and that includes anyone who died after testing positive for covid.

    So,no. There were not hundreds of deaths in the community.

    ReplyDelete
  21. And for all those blaming covid deaths on hospital malpractice, remember this: no one goes to the hospital with a common cold. No one goes to the hospital unless they are already dangerously ill.

    If you know anyone who still hasn't gotten their taste and/or smell back, tell them to look into zinc and omega 3 (fish oil). That's worked for a lot of people who were missing taste and/or for months.
