    The whole shampoo industry is a scam.

    I believe that the higher the level of education among the various categories of healthcare workers, the higher the vaccination rates.

    and will probably have no impact on your health since you are vaccinated and that should protect you shouldn’t it?

    Stop with your binary thinking. A vaccine isn’t either 100% effective or 0%.

    From that PBS interview:

    “What I would say is that, actually, this study, looking at what happened in Provincetown, is the vaccines working exactly as we expected. And let me lay out why.

    And what you had was, you had an influx of a lot of people coming to Provincetown for July 4 celebrations, a lot of unvaccinated people, Delta virus surging. You did have a good number of breakthrough infections. Not surprising when you have a lot of people packed into bars and clubs.

    But let’s see what happened to those people. Almost all of them did extraordinarily well. A small number ended up in the hospital. No one died. And it did not fuel this massive outbreak that has led to more and more cases in an exponential growth.”

    Etc.

    Doctors as well

    There will always be a small minority of doctors who are against any treatment or preventative medication, but I believe it’s very small when it comes to this vaccine for adults without prior infection.

    Since when have employees checked your vaccine status as a requirement to work?

    I don’t know if that’s happened or not, but it’s legal.

    Also there are many medical workers refusing to take the vax

    Not many doctors though, and they have a much better science background.

    Never has there been a mandate for everything such as employment, going to a restaurant or gym or museum etc., with the potential for supermarkets and all basic needs, and all this without exemptions.

    Never before has there been such a need for it.

    Even In 1905 Jacobson v Mass he was not forced to vaccinate

    Vaccine “mandates” that we are discussing aren’t literally forcing anyone to vaccinate.

    As to whether the differences you mentioned are legally applicable, I guess the courts will decide, but the weight of legal opinion seems to be on the side of allowing vaccine mandates such as employment and admission being conditional on being vaccinated.

    If vaccinated still need to wear a mask and can still transmit the virus to others and also get infected themselves, please explain how the vaccine is effective.

    People who take the vaccine are less likely to get sick and die.

    In my book, that means it’s effective.

    Not perfect, effective.

    You agree they shoulnt be required to vaccinate but yet they are being forced to vaccinate that’s the whole issue here.

    Um, no, you were saying nobody should be forced. While I don’t know that it’s legal to literally force anyone to vaccinate, I think it’s wrong for anyone (other than kids) who didn’t have Covid to not vaccinate, and I think an employer has a right to make it a condition of employment (assuming there’s physical proximity to other employees or to customers).

    Certainly, healthcare workers, who have contact with the most vulnerable population, need to get vaccinated.

    it’s over 99% survival rate for most of the population.

    So you’re okay with one out of a hundred people dying, and many others who survive with permanent damage?

    And with COVID as well 99% who had an infection were not reinfected

    I’m not sure where those numbers come from and if they are outdated, but I know a lot of people who got Covid a second time.

    None seriously ill b”H, which is why I don’t know if a vaccine is necessary for someone who had Covid (and I certainly don’t think it should be mandated), but those who advise to get vaccinated even for those who once had it have strong basis for that view.

    That’s aside from the argument to get vaccinated to lessen the spread.

    Israel is preparing for a potential 4th dose if deemed necessary, they aren’t “up to the 4th”. And if they were, so what?

    No, Malone didn’t invent it. He’s bitter that he isn’t getting the credit he thinks he deserves.

    They never said it was risky for kids, they were waiting for the studies.

    Yes, it’s impossible to know for sure the long term effects. We do know what the long term term effects of Covid are, though. Once dead, always dead.

    This may be true, but not fully established yet.

    Four shots in less than a year?

    Um, no, only three for the most vulnerable. And that’s for the Phizer vaccine, I don’t think that’s applicable to the others. And yes, if that were deemed necessary and safer than not getting a booster, why should the fact that a series of shots was necessary mean it’s not effective?

    The healthcare community denies Malone’s claim that he “invented” mRNA vaccines. He contributed to their development. And he’s still in the minority in his skepticism, and even he says some should take it.

    If the vaccine was so effective we wouldn’t be up to 4 boosters by now. They even admitted that it isn’t as effective especially against variants.

    I’m not sure why it’s so difficult to understand that something can be effective, but not last forever. Did you eat yesterday? Then why are you hungry today?

    On the other hand if the natural antibodies weren’t enough to protect individuals, you would have seen a rise in cases to the likes of the beginning of the pandemic.

    For those who had Covid, whether by act of G-d or by negligence, it is not enough to rely on that alone to conclude that you are not in danger or not a danger to others.

    The evidence shows that previous Covid infection offers more protection than vaccination. So unless you involve politics, there’s no reason to exclude previously infected people over vaccinated people.

    but making it such that the woman herself appears to be shaitel-less, seems to involve several issues: maaris ayin

    Rav Moshe holds there’s no maris ayin. The Maharil Diskin holds there is.

    and the inability to distinguish one’s self as a married woman

    While I agree that it’s a bad idea for this reason (Hamodia had a humorous fictional piece in the Succos Stories supplement about a married lady who was set up on a shidduch meeting by someone who thought she was single because of her lace shaitel), do you have a source which would make it actually assur?

    and I’m sure there’s more.

    After it was analyzed by other scientists it was retracted because the conclusion was obviously inaccurate and blatantly false.

    They redid the numbers and it was still in the expected range.

    The authors reply: Sun appropriately raises questions about the proportion of women reporting spontaneous abortion in our recent article. We agree that the denominator used in that proportion — 827 completed pregnancies — is not an appropriate denominator for the calculation of a risk estimate or rate.

    The number of spontaneous abortions (104) reflects data reported by the participants as of March 30, 2021, during telephone follow-up. In this preliminary report, follow-up information was missing for the majority of pregnancies in which exposure to vaccination occurred in early pregnancy. Among the 1224 women who had been vaccinated before conception or in the first trimester, follow-up through 20 weeks of gestation had been completed for only 204 pregnancies that were known to be ongoing and for 1 pregnancy that resulted in stillbirth. Among the pregnancies that had not yet reached 20 weeks of gestation, there were 10 pregnancies with other outcomes before 20 weeks of gestation, including 8 ectopic pregnancies and 2 induced abortions. For the other 905 pregnancies, follow-up had not occurred to establish whether these pregnancies were ongoing past 20 weeks of gestation. We have amended Table 4 in our earlier publication and have clarified the text.

    Subsequently, we completed telephone follow-up for the 905 pregnancies and enrolled additional persons in the v-safe pregnancy registry. To determine the cumulative risk of spontaneous abortion from 6 to less than 20 weeks of gestation, we used life-table methods to perform an updated analysis, now reported in the Journal, involving 2456 women who received at least one dose of an mRNA Covid-19 vaccine before conception or before 20 weeks of gestation.1 The estimated risks (14.1% overall and 12.8% in age-standardized analyses) are consistent with the risks of spontaneous abortion reported in the general population.1

    DaasYochid, I never said wigs, human or otherwise, are assur so I did not get involved in old machloikes.

    You said, and I quote, “In addition, the original source in Gemara talks about peah nochri that women wore, however Jewish girls and women wore additional head coverings as well so we are not talking about women walking in the streets, and likely not in their homes either, with only peah nochri covering their hair. Peah nochri was used as WEAVE together with a woman’s own hair, NOT as WIGS to cover the entire head, to make thin hair look fuller.”
