I (and mechanchim I’ve spoken to) see it as one of our greatest displays of a lacking of emunah and awareness of Gd among torah true yidden.
Really now? Was R’ Shmuel Berenbaum zt”l (there was a meeting in his house…), R’ Chaim Stein zt”l (he referred to this as a terrible gezeirah), and other gedolim and mechanchim from katnei emunah ch”v?
Being concerned about, and especially taking achrayus for an issue that affects the tzibur, is not a chisaron in emunah.
