BTW, I got the vaccine (Moderna). Arm soreness and body aches for a couple of days.
DaasYochid talks about changing directives on mask usage. They never changed….in the rest of the world.
Read my post in context. I was giving an example of why there’s a lack of trust. Saying to trust other countries isn’t really going to help.
@daas-yochid So what you’re telling me is that Fauci changed his mind after being presented with evidence contrary to his opinion.
No, he lied

Beginning at my normal medium speed, I was asked after cohen to pick up the pace because otherwise the men would miss their train to work. At that place and time, normal-speed leining was a tircha de-tzibura! If I were saying a “voluntary” kaddish, I’d bear this in mind.
Maybe your leining really is medium, but everyone probably thinks their pace is average, but not everyone’s is.
The comparison is far from great anyhow, because the minyan must anyhow account for Kaddish, but not for a slow (or relatively slow) leining.
Avram in MD, great post.
To add to your point, Kaddish Yasom is actually supposed to be said regardless of whether there is a Yasom there (although not all of the Kaddeishim we say are mandatory).
Better he tries to convince us he will have good policies than not.
I am afraid this will be a terrible deterrent.
Yeah.
To compensate, they need to give out cholent.
Syag, the vaccine gives you six months.
Who says?
The “changing mask guidelines” is literally fake news. There was one Tweet
Um, no. USA Today had an interview with Dr. Fauci where he repeatedly said not to wear a mask. I don’t have Twitter, and I remember very clearly that the CDC said not to wear mask.
From Samuel Adler-Bell:
“Then there was the mask fiasco. In February and March, Fauci, the World Health Organization, and the CDC all recommended against protective masks for non-symptomatic members of the public. Their line was: don’t bother. On February 19, Fauci told USA Today, “In the United States, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to wear a mask.” On March 8, as scientists estimated tens of thousands of undetected Covid cases in the US, Fauci told 60 Minutes, “There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.” In the same interview, laying the foundation for a fog of disinformation that is still very much with us, Fauci suggested wearing a mask might actually increase the risk of contracting the virus, “Often, there are unintended consequences — people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.”
When the facts don’t agree with you, you make up your own instead?
And apparently, mask wearing (maybe by cutting off your oxygen) has made you extremely rude. More likely it’s the emotional/psychological effect.
Endorsing neo-Nazis is in the interest of Jews and Israel?
He’s an egomaniac who supported someone running against someone who slighted him.
That doesn’t negate the fact that he was the most pro-Israel and pro-Jews president ever.
10 1/2 hours since I had my second vaccine dose. Absolutely no side effects yet other than a tiny bit of soreness in the arm where it was injected.
Is that supposed to prove it’s safe?
Press87, someone is a kofer if he thinks there are problems in Lakewood too? That’s a new one.
Who is hiding it? Why would they? What do they have to gain? Why are you the only one blessed with the knowledge of the truth?
“They” refers to public health officials and then the media.
There are any numberof reasons to withhold information. Let’s put aside conspiracy theories; it’s clear that they don’t trust the public with certain pieces of information. In some cases, that’s justified, but the results are erosion of trust.
Just look at the changing mask directives.
They certainly would prefer people not know about those who suffered injury or illness from the vaccine, because people will get scared off.
I’m no antivaxxer, but when I see Dr. Fauci lying to the American people, I can’t help but expect that cynics will think he (and others) are lying about things we haven’t yet caught on to.
I think I would take the vaccine if I were able to and was in the vulnerable population. That’s because in balance, I think it’s worth it. I think the chances of dying of Covid-19 at this point is still greater than dying from the vaccine (despite great advances in treatment). But I think it is reasonable to be scared of a relatively untested (certainly long term) vaccine.
😂🤣
Don’t you think there are people who need it more than them?
I don’t believe her apology. It came after Pelosi apparently twisted her arm into a pretzel. She still refused to vote to ban BDS. I contributed to her primary opponent last year. But at least she went through the motions, unlike Marjorie Taylor-Greene.
I’m not sure why you think an insincere apology has value, but either way, MTG also apologized. Probably equally insincere.
Note: If you jump in and crow about how Republicans are to blame because they give businesses carte blanche to do what they want, or Democrats are to blame because they’re in league with Big Tech, etc. you may think you are clever, but you are not providing anything productive. This is a non-partisan issue that affects everyone.
Then why 90% instead of 100%?
I see the Cuomo bashers can’t resist. I wonder whether there is a 12 step recovery program for that addiction.
As Syag said, there’s a supreme irony in someone who can’t see a single thing good about Trump making that comment.
BTW, as of today I saw New York ranked 25.
I understood him to mean that he’s uncertain whether he’d have the courage.
If you had, you wouldn’t have compared it to שילוח הקן.
All moot, because it’s nowhere close to that.
I don’t think you understood his answer.
No, because according to most, it’s not applicable today for several reasons, besides what you referred to.
From Din.org.il:
המצוה להלחם בעמלק ולהכרית את זרעו, נחלקו בה ראשונים: יש סוברים, שהיא מצוה המוטלת על כלל הציבור, ואין כל יחיד ויחיד מישראל חייב בה (ראה: סהמ”צ לרמב”ם סוף מנין מצוות עשה; רי”פ פערלא ח”א עשה נט [דף רסא] בדעת הרס”ג). ויש סוברים, שהיא מצוה המוטלת על המלך (ראה: רמב”ן שמות יז טז; יראים סימן תלה; רד”ק שמואל א טו א; תועפות רא”ם על היראים שם בדעת הסמ”ג). לדעות אלו, הואיל וקיומה של מצוה זו הוא בדרך של מלחמה, הנעשית מעצם טבעה על ידי הציבור כולו ותחת הנהגתו של מלך, לא ניתן לצוות על כך כל יחיד מישראל (הר אפרים על המכילתא סו”פ בשלח. וראה חדושי הגרי”ז עה”ת [סטנסיל] אות קח, שאף הציבור אינם מחוייבים להלחם בכל עת, אלא על פי הוראת נביא). אחרים סוברים, שמלבד המצוה המוטלת על הציבור להלחם בעם העמלקי ולכלותו, יש חיוב לכל יחיד מישראל להמית מזרעו של עמלק, אם יזדמן לו הדבר שלא בדרך מלחמה (ראה: ספר החינוך, והר אפרים שם בדעתו; ישבב סופר סנהדרין [עמ’ קעז וקפא]).
That dodged the question, didn’t answer it.
solve this issue be separating them before shabbos
Then you might as well buy the regular paper on a roll and tear off sheets before Shabbos
Also, it should be noted that there was no dissent.
if he took money as president, he still has it
It has nothing to do with the money, the idea is not to allow a foreign government to influence policy.
They will try to market it so that people will think it tastes right
No, they’re going to market it differently.
Hmm?

It’s not a given, because perhaps there could be regression, but it’s not a very ambitious goal to merely maintain the same rate.
Charlie, you are overlooking Warp Speed.
Yes, he messed up on messaging, but overall I think saved more lives than he cost.
You make it sound like he’s responsible for all 400,000 deaths, as if nobody would have died of we had a different president, which is totally disingenuous of you.
And I don’t like (understatement) how he acted after the election, but it doesn’t negate all the good he did. Only someone with a huge liberal bias like you would ignore all of the positives.
why aren’t you taking this seriously.
Taking what seriously?
Jackk, I’m impressed.
I have no problem answering – Q anon are a bunch of loonies and yes, we landed on the moon – but the fact that you even ask is a deflection.

Can you answer why any religious person could ever support a rasha like Trump?
We didn’t vote for tzaddik. We voted for the person who would implement the best policies.
Not that Biden is exactly a lamed vovnik himself.
Most Jews voted for Biden.
Who cares
Most frum Jews in my neighborhood voted for Biden.
Who cares
For some reason, although your positions on Covid are basically reasonable, the way you argue them, with made up facts, distortions of others’ statements, and not really addressing or listening to what others are saying, you weaken your position immensely.
the dangers of the vaccine pale in comparison to the dangers of allowing COVID-19 to continue unchecked.
That might very well be true but it hasn’t been proven.
I certainly hope CA is right. If not, though…
1) Sure, why not?
2) If he’s not convicted in the Senate, it’s very likely he’ll run again. Whether he’ll win would probably depend on how the country is doing then.
Before I respond to that, can I ask a few unrelated question?
You can ask, it’s a free country, you’re allowed to dodge the comment and pretend you didn’t.
Anytime someone can’t find a way to argue an anti Trump opinion, they go straight to the response, “there you go, listening to the left wing media, blah blah blah”.
If the debate is about facts, and the source is the media, then it’s a fair argument.
I think that Trump pardoned himself and family privately, so when necessary, he will be able to refer to it.
Before or after he declared martial law?
To answer the OP, yes, I still would have voted for him.
Since there is considerable uncertainty and disagreement among legal scholars as to whether the Trumpkopf can pardon himself, he will likely resign the morning of January 20th, fly back to Mar a Lago, and while he is in the air, President (for 3 hours) Pence will issue a full and complete pardon of the FORMER President.
That prediction didn’t play out too well.
Biden appoints Jews in his cabinet, Blinken and Yellin.
As opposed to Trump who doesn’t want to have anything to do with Jews?
