In the application to the county the township says "A residential hazardous waste collection center, operated and managed by the DPW, is also in operation on the south end of the lot. As such, the impact of the proposed transfer station addition at the existing DPW facility, to the sensitive receptors in the area will be minimal, if any".

AHA....WHERE ARE ALL THE TEARS FOR THE BLOOD OF THE HUNDREDS OF VICTOMS WHO TOOK THEIR OWN LIFE.....
ReplyDeleteWHO IS RESPOBSIBLE FOR THEIR BLOOD
IF YOU PROTECT THE ABUSER - CAN YOU SAY YOU DIDNT SPILL THEIR BLOOD
How did you prove the authentic identity of the abuser?
DeleteThere are rabbinic opinions who don't trust Shmuel Eliyahu.
What about you?
DeleteWhen was the last time YOU cried about abuse? What did YOU ever do for them in any context other than joining those who have a lynch mob mentality of dealing with the accused?
Re the click bait article about the PCR test; it's skewed. If you notice the source you will understand why. Here's some balanced reporting

I have no violent vaccine opinions either way but I think it's irresponsible to post such an obviously biased report
"balanced reporting"?
DeleteLOL!!!this is too funny! I cant, I cant, get me out of here! LOL!!
Whaddaya mean its skewed
DeleteThey link to the cdc website
https://www.cdc.gov/csels/dls/locs/2021/07-21-2021-lab-alert-Changes_CDC_RT-PCR_SARS-CoV-2_Testing_1.html
"In preparation for this change, CDC recommends clinical laboratories and testing sites that have been using the CDC 2019-nCoV RT-PCR assay select and begin their transition to another FDA-authorized COVID-19 test. CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses. Such assays can facilitate continued testing for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 and can save both time and resources as we head into influenza season."
DeleteSeems pretty clear that the cdc is implying that pcr test couldn't differentiate, and hence they are advising to replace with another test that would
And of course the almost complete disappearance of flu last season was merely a coincidence, correct 11:42 ?
DeletePlease sign the petition to stop the transfer station dont think just because you dont live near the garbage dump that it wont affect you.
ReplyDeleteWhen a single garbage truck drives down the street and it leaks liquid it smells up the entire neighborhood. Now imagine 300 tons daily on a hot summer day.
'CDC admits'
ReplyDeleteLove that fake news sentence.
No, 'the CDC discovers' would be the accurate way of reporting things. But since when do we care about accuracy?
Biden is in a pickel, forced to admit he cant control covid. So yes, they got the cdc to admit covid aint as bad as it seems and hero biden is now saving us all
DeleteThe anonymous 'school placement Vaad', that answers to nobody and is forced on the community. When they didn't exist, people could push to get into the school they felt was best. Now, the Vaad and only the Vaad decide what is good for you. And this Vaad gets to stay anonymous, without oversight or second guessing
ReplyDeletetotally untrue one test is being pulled there are
ReplyDeletemany others that are accurate

Not saying anything about the way things were dealt with beforehand but I have issue with the way they were dealt with afterward. Who is being made safer by some rabbi going on the radio and saying what a terrible person he was? Ditto for some of these other letters coming out from rabbis who probably know nothing other than what is being peddled on the internet.(one of those letters cleanly had inaccurate information)
ReplyDeleteAfter the unquestionably true Boruch Goldstein story when the entire Jewish world was being vilified for it Rav Shach opposed and refused to sign a Kol Koreh against him saying that at this time there is no way he can add pain to an almona and yesomim by doing so.
If someone is alive and a possible danger I understand not worrying about the family. But when the person is dead and no threat to anyone is there no concern of Kol Almonah V’Yosom Lo Saaneh before running to publicly vilify someone?
By bringing awareness to the public about the actions of this perpetrator other victims will have the courage to come forward and face their abusers.
DeleteYea but all the frum media is painting him now a tzadik dince he killed himself, what about the tests of all his innocent victims and their families??
ReplyDeleteThe click bait about the Covid PCR is not just skewed, it's completely false! It's unconscionable to quote an anti-vax site with no understanding of what the CDC actually said!
ReplyDeleteLast July (!) the CDC stated that this specific test would be withdrawn from use 12/31/21 because it ONLY tests for Covid! The recommendation is that, especially during flu season, a multiplex test be used that detects Covid, Flu A, Flu B, as well as other viruses. This is for expedience, since if someone has symptoms but does not have Covid the original test would simply be negative. The multiplex test simultaneously tests for other viruses that that person may have. That's all!
A little science background: The Covid PCR tests for a specific nucleic acid that is only found in the the Covid virus. It does not and cannot detect flu or any other virus since theses viruses do not contain the nucleic acd that is tested for!
Please be more responsible in your reporting!
Your story about the CDC and PCR test displays a fundamental lack of understanding of the English language, aside from any of the science involved. This site is starting to go downhill in this regard. I guess the good news is that we are not yet at "contrails are causing flu"...
