Fantastic shiur, thanks for posting.Very strong halachic case for wearing a mask and ignoring peer pressure.@ExGingi, response?
A well known doctor in Lakewood who seems to be familiar with the cases in Deal says Ditcheks claim of reinfection in those two patients is highly dubious at best. He says there is one case in queens that is being looked at somewhat more closely than Ditcheks claims.
Change starts with you.Everyone is masked at my minyan without exception.
The only comment I can have is that I wish this wouldn't stay in the realm of פלפולא בעלמא but rather get down to עולם המעשה. I hope I will be proven wrong, so far it doesn't seems so. Though I did make my comments known to his close circles in no unequivocal terms this morning.
name?
I don’t think he wants to be named so take for what it’s worth to you
I love when people do that, they lose credibility IMO
If he puts his name out there he will be the next one for ditchek to attack.
The doctors in Lakewood are very wary of any sort of public announcement after the backlash they experienced in March/April. Source: a Lakewood doctor.
All people want to do nowadays is be politically correct, no one cares about the truth anymore.... its sad
I agree with the sentiment but this is a practical decision knowing that they have limited bullets in their "public announcement" gun, they can't afford to lose more trust.
Well either way, if I have 2 doctors contradicting each other, I would like to be able to pull up their resumes and make an informed decision on who to believe, but when all I hear is a well respected doctor from Lakewood that doesnt help me much.
Np go with Ditchek if he seem credible to you
