☕ DaasYochid ☕Participant
what is the point of the vaccines?
Overall, reduces cases of Covid and severity in those who do get infected.
Judging the vaccines as ineffective based on an anecdote is silly.
If I told you that I know someone who got seriously injured in a car crash despite wearing a seat belt, would you conclude that seat belts don’t work?

Not sure what that’s supposed to mean. Are we supposed to accept your assessment over the assessment of gedolim?
November 18, 2021 8:16 am at 8:16 am in reply to: When will all Yidden finally have Achdus? #2030268☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWe need a list. It is important to know who is and is not a real gadol.
It is indeed very important to know who is a gadol, but there is no universally accepted list
November 18, 2021 2:06 am at 2:06 am in reply to: When will all Yidden finally have Achdus? #2030188☕ DaasYochid ☕Participantbecause what other gedoilim accomplished was mainly during their life
Just another example of the myopic Chabad-centric mindset.
November 17, 2021 11:46 pm at 11:46 pm in reply to: When will all Yidden finally have Achdus? #2030181☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantPlease tell me how in the world some gedolim can hold others are not gedolim? Gedolim are Gedolim.
I don’t understand the question. Is there some list of gedolim somewhere, written by Eliyahu Hanavi, which nobody can disagree with?
I would be really surprised to hear that gedolim just say that ‘the Lubavitcher Rebbe isn’t a Gadol’ just because they disagree.
Wouldn’t that depend on what it is they disagree with?
November 17, 2021 10:38 pm at 10:38 pm in reply to: When will all Yidden finally have Achdus? #2030123☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWhy is there no mention of non-Chabad gedolim and Jews?
Because they are unimportant (at best) in Chabad. That is the blunt truth.
November 17, 2021 10:34 pm at 10:34 pm in reply to: When will all Yidden finally have Achdus? #2030118☕ DaasYochid ☕Participanti can attest that litvishe bochuim have come up to me and mocked the Rebbe in disgusting ways that they would never say about other gedoilim or even poshiter yidden.
Not really a tayna, when, as I believe you alluded to above, Lubavich holds some of the greatest Litvishe gedolim in severe contempt.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAmazon has some Vivitar cameras for under $30.
Obviously, they won’t be as good as most smartphone camera, but not everyone has a smartphone.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAvira, what kind of Shidduch Crisis do the Chasidim have? The age gap issue isn’t much of a thing by the Chasidim.
Right. That’s why the issue there is the reverse.
☕ DaasYochid ☕Participant770 is also gematria חמור בלי דעת (which are also ראשי תיבות חב”ד). Does that prove anything?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantLittle Froggie’s best topic is actually Hilchos Ribbit.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThere’s a book named The Dynamics Of Dispute, written by Rabbi Zvi Lampel, which deals with this issue.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI agree with HaLeiVi.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantDY: I told you so!
Yes, you did, but so far you’re wrong.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSo, is it remotely possible that the common denominator isn’t the cost, but rather that they work? And that the reason they didn’t approve Ivermectin and HCQ is because they don’t?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantDo you know how much Remedsivir & Monoclonal Antibodies cost?
And those are approved the Government.Right, and so are Dexamethasone and Fluvoximine, which aren’t that expensive.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantPro Ivermectin people:
How do you explain Dexamethasone and Fluvoximine? If the FDA doesn’t want to approve repurposed drugs such as Ivermectin be ause of greed, why are those okay?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWhat point did you prove?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantOf course??
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIHNIWTASF
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantYeah, but in the mesechta, even brothers married to non relatives are constantly dying…
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI’ll note that they don’t come in individual portion containers, which is what the OP asked.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWhich almond based? I find those too thin as well.
I use Califia Farms almond based creamer which has some coconut added to increase the creamiest.
The Kirkland vanilla soy milk is pretty good too.
☕ DaasYochid ☕Participant☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantHuju:
1. Kashya oif a maysa. They get ruined in the rain.
2. They take them off when they daven. Also, now raincoats with built in hat sized hoods are ubiquitous, and plastic bags over hats are no longer common.
☕ DaasYochid ☕Participantthey getting smaller and smaller
I said that almost five years ago
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantGH: Yibum is when there are two (or more) paternal brothers, one of whom dies childless. The brother marries (or does chalitzah if he does not want to marry) the widow. This marriage is called yibum (yevama reverse to the widow; the plural is yevamos, but the actual name of the mesechta (tractate) is likely actually “Yabmus” which refers to the topic of this type of marriage).
If two brothers are married to two sisters, and one brother dies, he cannot marry his sister in law, because she is his wife’s sister, and a man cannot marry two sisters.
This case, with several variations, is frequently discussed in the Gemara.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAs I pointed out on the other thread, R Soloveitchik’s position that a woman learning secular studies must also learn gemara has been shown in real life to be incorrect.
The controversy isn’t about a self motivated woman learning on her own, so the second part of your post is irrelevant.
October 12, 2021 3:18 pm at 3:18 pm in reply to: Anti Haredi Naftali Bennett (the supposed “dati” prez.) #2015143☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantNot sure why R Schach’s position is rejected now, unless I am not aware that he changed it later on.
Yeshivos are still not fully government funded
☕ DaasYochid ☕Participant@Daas and Syag and AAQ this tread is about Rav Tendler, not womens education
Someone mentioned his shittah on women learning gemara.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantDid she go to BJJ?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThe claim is that modern educated women need Gemora learning to support their emunah at the intellectual level they are.
It’s a silly claim, because there’s plenty of material which Bais Yaakovs offer which is on a high intellectual level without learning gemara. Speak to anyone beho knows something about BJJ.
You may be particularly unappreciative to the concept because it applies less to women in your community
Aside from that comment being arrogant and condescending, it’s blatantly untrue. There is certainly a big range of education level in our community (as there is in the MO community) but that range extends to law degrees and above. Yet, learning gemara is still unnecessary and therefore assur (self motivated learning is not assur, but mandated, structured classes are). Plus, as mentioned above, the Bais Yaakov system has managed to make a high level Torah based curriculum available for those who need it, without having to resort to learning gemara.
Bottom line: the success of the Bais Yaakov curriculum is a complete rebuttal to the claim that nowadays it is necessary to teach gemara to girls, and the only reason the MO do it is because they are too weak to fight the feminist elements among them.

☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThe whole shampoo industry is a scam.
That’s why it’s called “sham”.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIf he misbehaved, I would ask him an exceedingly vague question which is unanswerable due to its lack of detail.
☕ DaasYochid ☕Participanta less clear Aug 2021 survey of 5000 nurses:
RNs?
I believe that the higher the level of education among the various categories of healthcare workers, the higher the vaccination rates.
☕ DaasYochid ☕Participantand 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%.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThey were way worse the mortality rates were almost 100%.
Please be more specific. Which of those was a worldwide pandemic with an effective vaccine which was not “mandated” in some form?
September 30, 2021 9:33 am at 9:33 am in reply to: Real data: mortality of vaccinated vs non vaxed #2010858☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantHarvey Risch
Yeah, that’s the guy whose colleagues all got together to sign a letter debunking him.
September 30, 2021 9:33 am at 9:33 am in reply to: Real data: mortality of vaccinated vs non vaxed #2010856☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantFrom 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.

Self reporting. Any troll can post their “reactions” there.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSmallpox,measles, Sars1, Influenza, (Bubonic Plague) Black Death,Polio, Spanish Flu, Asian Flu, H1N1 Swine Flu…
What about them? Did they create the same health crisis we have now, with as easy a solution?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantDoctors 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.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSince 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.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantEven 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.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI used to beleive this pandemic was really deadly
You were right. And 650,000 deaths into it, it still is.
Government hypocrisy abounds, no question, but that doesn’t change our obligation to keep ourselves as safe as reasonably possible.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAside for the fact that it’s unconstitutional
Nonsense. It’s always been the role of government to keep its citizens safe. Vaccine mandates in particular have been legal for over a century.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIf 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.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantObviously it’s not about science it’s about slowly taking away people’s liberties
No, it’s about balance between health and utility. It’s not as easy to take away a necessity from someone as a luxury.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantNo and are you ok with car accidents, driving under influence, scammers, people dying from the flu or any other virus?
I’m in favor of taking common sense precautions against all of the above.
