Are you a Doctor of infectious diseases? Who would you like to call the shots? The one with the most likes on DDF or who is in the most watsapp groups? Rabbi Brown, Rabbi Jeager and Rabbi Forst (from the 3 biggest talmidi chachumim in our community) all agree with him. (Maybe they are all liberals too?)
Unless you have another qualified expert in the community - this man should continue to be calling the shots.
