Illegal shul’s rationalisation for staying open a whole lot of fecal matter

Last week’s SA Jewish Report (15 January 2021) reports on a selfish Glenhazel shul that has operated illegally and hazardously right through the lockdown since March 2020!

In an article by Jordan Moshe, the sages of the illegal, righteous minyan of Glenhazel tell us, “It never occurred to Rabbi Akiva Eiger that minyanim should be shut down,” according to a representative of the minyan, who asked to remain anonymous (for good reason).

Genius!

Rabbi Akiva Eiger lived in 18th century Posen, Germany, and made rulings for that time and place. Viruses were discovered only 100 years later!

Actually, Rabbi Akiva Eiger, was dealing with cholera, a totally different disease to COVID-19. By the way, cholera is caused by a bacterium not a virus.

COVID-19 is caused by a virus, something that behaves very differently.

The sage of Glenhazel doesn’t know the difference between bacteria and viruses and their modes of transmission, epidemiology, morbidity, and mortality.

COVID-19 is spread through the air, hence the use of masks, social distancing, and shutting down gatherings.

Eiger’s cholera is usually transmitted through the fecal-oral route of contaminated food or water caused by poor sanitation.

By the way, cholera is also spread through the raw, unpasteurised milk that these flat earthers want us to drink in the name of kashrut.

COVID-19 is a respiratory virus, the cholera bacterium, vibrio cholerae, infects the small intestine.

Tell that to the anonymous halachic decisor/epidemiologist from Glenhazel!

How many people will these stupid, pretentious pseudo-scholars kill?

They arrogantly follow the authority of neither the majority of rabbis, nor the majority of doctors and scientists.
