Immunity Depends on.....

Disproving this Big Lie is so straightforward that I fear insulting the reader’s intelligence by spelling it out step-by-step. Let us do so in the form of a standard syllogism.

If:

• Person A has received a vaccine for a given disease, and
• The vaccine “worked”—it provided person A with immunity to the disease

Then:

• Another person (Person B) cannot give person A the disease.

That’s all there is to it.

Should I (Person A) insist that you (Person B) are still a threat to infect me with the disease for some reason, for example, that you are unvaccinated, then I am stating that the conclusion of the syllogism is false. If the conclusion is false, then at least one of the premises must be false. If I did in fact get the vaccine, then the first premise is true. In that case, the second premise must be false.

In other words, if I get vaccinated and my immunity is still dependent on your vaccination, then the vaccine doesn’t work.

Period.

If My Immunity Depends on Your Vaccination, Then the Vaccine Doesn’t Work

The Liar’s Defense: Moving the Goalposts

Now, if I was an intellectually dishonest vaccine zealot (and such people do exist), I very likely would respond to this exposure of my Big Lie by employing a favorite argumentative fallacy of vaccinology: moving the goalposts.

Deliberately ignoring the fact that my Big Lie has been disproven, I might deceptively shift the argument in a number of ways. Such tactics were employed again and again during Covid.

Perhaps I’d make the pseudoscientific claim that everyone must be vaccinated to achieve the quasi-mythical state of “herd immunity.” Never mind that the flawed concept of herd immunity is only even theoretically possible with vaccines that provide “sterilizing” immunity, which the large majority of vaccines do not provide. The Covid vaccines couldn’t and didn’t provide sterilizing immunity. (Fauci and company knew this from the start, but they still peddled the lie of herd immunity to push for mandatory vaccination against Covid.)

Maybe I’d take a totalitarian approach, and insist that your vaccination is a social responsibility to which you must comply, and which you have no right to refuse. This argument violates the 4 Pillars of Medical Ethics, especially the first: Autonomy. It also contradicts fundamental American jurisprudence, as stated by Justice Benjamin Cardozo in 1914: “Every human being of adult years and sound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with his own body.”

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter how often or in where I move the goalposts. The fact remains: if I get vaccinated and my immunity is still dependent on your vaccination, then the vaccine doesn’t work.

We noted before that the Third Big Lie of Vaccinology is steeped in fear-mongering and scapegoating. Pushing such emotion-based reasons for belief serves a second purpose: it also promotes magical thinking about vaccines. If you are programmed to hold nonsensical, fear-based beliefs about immunity, you can easily be convinced of fantastic, even magical absurdities about public health as well.

Magical Thinking and Mass Vaccination

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was confirmed as U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) on February 13, 2025. An outbreak of measles was declared in West Texas two days later. The Pharma-funded mainstream media quickly attempted to blame the outbreak on Kennedy’s confirmation, even though the first reported case had occurred in January.

It is absurd to blame Secretary Kennedy’s presence at HHS for a measles outbreak beginning prior to his confirmation. How could he be responsible? Is Kennedy some kind of evil wizard, capable of time travel?

Of course not. But the pro-vaccine lobby foments magical thinking among the public. Apparently, the mere existence of an “anti-vaxxer” as head of HHS is sufficient to trigger a plague upon the land.

At the time of this writing, there have been a reported 1,912 cases of measles in the US in 2025. Meanwhile, in Canada, a country with slightly more than one-tenth the population of the United States, there have been more than 5,000 measles cases in 2025, as of October 30.

Still, the vaccine zealots blame Secretary Kennedy—and, of course, President Trump. Fiona Havers, a former CDC official who resigned shortly after Kennedy arrived at HHS, stated this regarding the 2025 measles cases in the US:

“I do think that this is far worse than it would have been under another administration,” she added. “It is not a coincidence that the first year where we’ve had we will have had [sic] 12 months of continuously circulating measles in [sic] the first 12 months of this administration.”

Wow. Donald Trump even makes measles more transmissible. Talk about magical thinking.

Poor grammar and personal animus aside, Havers neglects to offer an explanation for the much higher rate of measles in Canada. Furthermore, her accusations ignore the following:

• measles outbreaks take place every year, even in heavily vaccinated countries like the United States. Some years are worse than others.
• the measles outbreaks in the United States are almost certainly fueled in large part by the huge influx of unvaccinated illegal aliens entering the country in recent years.
• no change in recommendations regarding measles vaccination has been made during Secretary Kennedy’s tenure. In fact, Kennedy has publicly advocated for measles vaccination while at HHS.

The Goal is Not to Eradicate Disease. The Goal is to Eradicate the Unvaccinated.

The Third Big Lie of vaccinology—that My Immunity is Dependent on Your Vaccination—is an illogical, anti-scientific, fear-based justification for scapegoating and magical thinking. It provides an emotion-based rationale to blame the unvaccinated for the failures of vaccines. It is a false argument intended to impose mandatory vaccination of the entire population.

The unvaccinated pose an existential threat to the entire vaccine enterprise. The unvaccinated are the control group that exposes the ineffectiveness and dangers of supposedly “safe and effective” vaccines. The unvaccinated are also the segment of the population that resists the tyrannical impulses so inherent to vaccinology.

Mandatory vaccination of an entire population is not imposed to eradicate disease. It is imposed to eradicate the unvaccinated.

We need a “Friends of Citizens” group.

“necessary vaccination rate” what is that” who decides that?

“ risk of using the healthcare system and infecting others,”?

(Sounds threatening….more likely a financial issue. Can’t get those targeted religious ones to obey edicts?)

Shalom Pollack: Pity….

 

Growing up in the US, I recall the uncomfortable, clearly  hypothetical question whispered out of earshot of  Gentiles:
Can the day ever come that the US  abandons Israel for her enemies, and if so, how would you react as an American?

Uncomfortable questions for comfortable Jews.

Even back in the seventies, when I was at Brooklyn College studying history, I had a few teachers who softly peddled  "pro-Palestinian" views( we knew then that it was a cover for the politically incorrect  label of anti-Semitism ),

That was then.
Today, it is the opposite: pro-Israel voices that are not couched in nuance and "even-handedness"  face social isolation and a career-ending.

How the pendulum swings.

My grandfather was one of the very few to be admitted to Columbia University with a name like Cohen. In 1920, that signaled a crack in the wall
Things only improved for Jews in academia from then on.

The Jewish community, though celebrating its rising contributions and acceptance by society, raised "hypothetical scenarios"  in hushed voices.
Jewish history amongst the Nations is full of disappointment.

But America is different, so we were assured by Jewish leadership!
We are not going anywhere. We are finally home after two thousand years.

When I last visited the US about ten years ago, I drove through the "old Jewish neighborhood.", now a dangerous place  for a Jew
There, my grandparents' generation established communities, businesses, schools, and synagogues.  I noticed that some synagogues, now churches,  still displayed faded quotes from the Torah in Hebrew engraved on them.
A world that was.

But it doesn't matter.

America is a big country. Jews can move on and build new synagogues, time after time if necessary.
Keep moving.
No problem.
It will always be our  America.
We have political and financial clout after all.

I recall about twenty years ago, a conversation with a former advisor to a pro-Israel senator.
We were discussing the fate of Jonathan Pollard and how the US justice system and establishment treated him far worse than others who were guilty of breaking far more serious laws.

I was concerned about how this reflected anti-Semitism in the highest places.
He had no sympathy for Pollard. He threw him under the bus, as did the Jewish establishment,  to secure their place as "good Jews."
His insensitivity to our hero was not totally surprising. Weak character is not a headline.
What alarmed me was when he said, "There is nothing to be concerned about Jews in America.
. Jews in Congress are way beyond our numbers, and we have broad support.
He was complacent, even smug.
That concerned me.

That was twenty years ago.
I don't know how he feels today.

Then, truly, both parties were pro-Israel and would not be seen with an anti-Semite.
However, the Democrat party has since led us down the path we see today. That left the Republican Party of Reagan, who battled against the anti-American, anti-Israel Left

Those for whom Jewish identity was more important than traditional party affiliation dared cross sacred party lines.
They found a haven. They could yet believe in the American dream, in the Exile that felt  like home. There was conservative America.

Question:
Is the solid rock of practical "American values"  and conservatism returning to a time before my grandfather slid through the cracks at Colombia?

My heart goes out to truly wonderful American Jews like Ben Shapiro, Dennis Prager,  and Mark Levine.
They love and contribute greatly to  America and what we cherish as  "American values," and at the same time love their Jewish identity and the Jewish state.
That should be OK
Amongst growing numbers of Americans, this position is becoming  Illegitimate

Tucker Carlson and company have revived a monster that Jews  knew in the 'Old World.' It wasn't supposed to follow them across the water.

As good and as determined as they are,  the walls are closing in on these good men and the Jewish community that they fight to defend.

The Left wall has already collapsed, hurled down  by good Jews like George  Soros and Bernie Sanders
Now the Right wall is leaning hard, as it teeters.

 A  sudden tidal wave of vicious accusations and attacks from unexpected places is indeed  overwhelming

Our fine Jewish spokesmen didn't expect this.
Who did?

No comparison is identical, but we of the post holocaust generations are saturated with the trauma of that era and the tragedies of not being  able to read the signs then..

I read a book about the long  history of Jews in Germany, entitled "The pity of It All."

Are we experiencing a curve on the  graph of American history that will correct itself, or is it something else?
Will there be another book written about pity?

What is the difference between German Jewry then and American Jewry today?

One big one is that today, there is a country where Jews don't have to justify and defend their Jewish identity.

Rabbi Weissman: Rav Wasserman on Satan's "Rabbis"

 

Zionism 101: Inciting, Then "Fighting" Jew-Hatred

And Rav Wasserman on Satan's "Rabbis" and False Prophets

Here’s a small excerpt from part 36 of The Prophetic Teachings of Rav Elchonon Wasserman:

The yetzer hara has among his agents “rabbonim” who wear fancy woolen cloaks and rabbinic garb, who write and sign public proclamations [Kol Korehs] to the strengthen the hands of the seed of evildoers in their war against the Torah…

There’s no shortage of contemporary examples; those who served as mouthpieces for the Health Ministry and the state during the “war” should immediately come to mind, but the discerning reader will find many more examples.

…But the situation has already reached the point where the agents of evil inclination no longer have need for the approval of “rabbonim”, and they can do their work without any hindrance, because they have their own “gedolim”, doctors, and professors with no limit.

All this has come upon us through poverty of Torah knowledge, which causes a corruption of opinions…

I would add that this tragic predicament is greatly exacerbated when many of these same “rabbonim” and “gedolim” have been installed in positions of leadership, and are responsible for so much of the “Torah education” people receive. This is further exacerbated when these leaders are generally inaccessible to the masses (unless one has VIP access or greases the wheels), insulated from inconvenient questions, and those who wish to pose inconvenient questions — no matter how respectfully — are given the Communist treatment.

The fear of one’s children being blackballed in the shidduch world is enough to silence the critical thinkers who don’t get disgusted and “go off the derech”. 

This applies to all segments of the so-called Orthodox world.

If Rav Wasserman was so troubled by this phenomenon a hundred years ago, what do you think he would say today? 

Wake up already, people.

There is so much more in the class, including the Chofetz Chaim’s explanation for why the heretics have so much power in our days, encouragement about the darkness in which we find ourselves, and the Chofetz Chaim’s response when the Zionist Erev Rav threatened the yeshivas if they didn’t get on board with their agenda. It’s most timely.

The class is embedded above and on Rumble here.

Note: In the next five weeks or so we will be wrapping up this series of classes. I anticipate there will be about ten more.  On Monday at 9:05 PMIsrael time we will start a new essay from Rav Wasserman. The link to join the live classes is here.

The two greatest exports of the Erev Rav State are riling up Jew-hatred and “fighting antisemitism”. 

It’s an extremely profitable business. They profit from the goyim who pick the “stand with Israel” side, the goyim who pick the “blame everything on Israel” side (both sides are necessary and feed off each other), diaspora Jews who support the state with their money, diaspora Jews who flee to Israel, and the EXTREMELY profitable war industry. 

It’s the regular Jews in Eretz Yisrael and around the world who get stuck in the middle and suffer the consequences.

Not to mention all the boosted “influencers”:

Zionism 101. Riling up Jew-hatred while grifting a parnassa off supposedly fighting it.

Finally, just for fun, this was waiting for me on Facebook:

Okay then. The random memory from five years ago their algorithm cherishes is a censored post I can’t even see now. Meanwhile, people were calling me a rodef for opposing the poison shots.

Get off the social media and learn more Torah instead. You will never regret it.

The Astounding Remez That You Would Fast on Asara B'Teves If It Would Fall Out on Shabbos

 

Stop Waiting. Start Building. We're Bringing Mashiach NOW

The Geula Happening Before Our Eyes……Boruch Hashem!

 Forget the Bible Codes.  This Nevuah – far surpasses anything else. It makes Reb Shlomo Carlebach’s line, “The holy prophet Isaiah” – come to life.

Israeli media no longer shows government ads about saving water.  And what follows is why.

But first an introduction:

Globes is an Israeli media company that focuses on business in Eretz Yisroel. They recently missed a huge point.  In a recent article, they focuses on Israel possibly supplying Syria with water. But they really blew it on this one.

The Arava region, which is divided into the Central and Southern regions, is the desert valley that extends from the Dead Sea to Eilat, along Israel’s border with Jordan. The thirty-fifth chapter of Sefer Yishayahu contains one of the most vivid prophetic visions in all of Nach.

It deals with the Arava region.

In it, the Ribbono Shel Olam transforms this barren wilderness into a place of flowing waters and abundant growth. “Ki nivke’u bamidbar mayim, u’nechalim ba’aravah”—”For water has broken out in the desert and streams in the plain” (Yishayahu 35:6). For centuries, these words were read as poetry of the distant future, a description of what Hashem would accomplish in the days of Moshiach.

Yet, today are privileged to witness something extraordinary. The Land of Israel—sixty percent desert, receiving barely 25 millimeters of rain annually in its southern reaches—now, according to the latest reports, produces roughly twenty percent more water than it actually needs. While Iran warns of evacuating parts of Tehran due to water shortages, Eretz Yisroel now flourishes.

This is a story of Hashem preparing His land for the return of His people, using human hands as instruments of His will. The engineers and scientists who built Israel’s water infrastructure were agents of a prophetic plan set in motion thousands of years ago.

The Navi’s Vision: Hashem’s Promise to His Land

The chapter opens with the land itself responding to Divine initiative: “Yeshusum midbar v’tziyah, v’sagel aravah v’sifrach kachavatzales”—”Desert and wasteland shall rejoice over them, and the plain shall rejoice and shall blossom like a rose” (35:1). Note the language: the desert shall rejoice.

The Metzudas Dovid explains that the chavatzeles—the lily blossoming in the arid waste—represents the impossible made possible through Divine power alone.

The next pasuk makes the source explicit: “Heimah yir’u kevod Hashem, hadar Elokeinu”—”They shall see the glory of the L-rd, the beauty of Hashem.” The transformation of the desert is something that has never happened before in all human history

Psukim three and four turn to the human response: “Chazku yadayim rafos… Imru l’nimharei lev, ‘Chizku, al tira’u; hinei Elokeichem nakam yavo, gemul Elokim, hu yavo v’yoshiachem'”—”Strengthen weak hands… Say to the hasty of heart, ‘Be strong, do not fear; behold Hashem, with vengeance He shall come, the recompense of Hashem, He shall come and save you.'” The Malbim notes that the message is addressed to those whose faith has grown weak during the long exile, who have begun to doubt whether Hashem would ever fulfill His promises. To them the Navi says: Look! Behold Hashem! He is coming to save you!

Then comes the climactic pasuk six: “Ki nivke’u bamidbar mayim, u’nechalim ba’aravah”—”For water has broken out in the desert and streams in the plain.” The verb nivke’u is passive—the waters “have been broken out,” they have been caused to burst forth. By Whom? By Hashem. Only He can command the desert to yield what it does not possess.

Let’s consider the improbabilities. A nation is back after two thousand years of exile—itself an event unprecedented in human history, foretold by the Neviim but never before witnessed.

This nation returns to a land that has become desolate during its absence. The land itself waited – refusing to yield its fruit to foreign occupiers just as the Torah promised: “V’hashamosi ani es ha’aretz”—”And I will make the land desolate” (Vayikra 26:32). The Ramban famously notes that this curse contains within it a hidden blessing: the land would remain barren until its rightful inhabitants returned.

Now the people return, and they face an impossible situation. Their land has almost no water. The only major freshwater source, the Kinneret, sits 699 feet below sea level in the north. The agricultural potential lies in the Negev, hundreds of miles to the south. The population is growing. Enemies surround them. Without water, there is no future.

And yet—against all logic, against all probability—Eretz Yisroel becomes the only country in the Middle East with a water surplus. How?

The kofrim of the world will point to engineering: the National Water Carrier, the desalination plants, the wastewater recycling systems. And indeed, these are marvels of human creativity. But we must ask deeper questions. Why did Hashem grant such wisdom to this particular people, in this particular land, at this particular time?

Why did He arrange circumstances so that the technology of desalination would mature precisely when Klal Yisroel needed it most?

The Gemorah (Megillah 6b) teaches that when Hashem wishes to accomplish something, He prepares the means in advance. The refuah comes before the makkah.

Even before Eretz Yisroel faced its water crisis in the early 2000s, the basic science of reverse osmosis had been developed. Before the population tripled, the engineering capacity to build massive desalination plants had emerged. Hashem, in His infinite wisdom, had been preparing the solution for decades before the problem became acute.

Seeing Through the Veil of Nature

The Ramban (Shmos 13:16) teaches that one of the highest levels of understanding is recognizing Hashem’s hand within natural processes.

Consider what happens in a desalination plant. Seawater. Bitter.  Undrinkable.  The water of the Mediteranian is drawn through wells drilled beneath the seabed. It passes through membranes with tiny, tiny pores – one-hundredth the size of a virus. Salt and impurities are stripped away. What emerges is mayim chayim, living water, pure enough to drink.

Who designed the laws of physics that make reverse osmosis possible? Who created the molecular structures that allow certain membranes to pass water while blocking salt? Who embedded into the very fabric of creation the possibility of transforming the sea into a freshwater reservoir?

The Chovos HaLevavos, in Shaar HaBechinah, urges us to contemplate the wisdom evident in creation and recognize that every natural phenomenon points to Hashem. The desalination membrane, with its pores of precisely 0.0001 microns, testifies to the infinite wisdom of Hashem who established the laws governing all matter and energy. The scientists who discovered these laws did not invent them; they uncovered what Hashem had hidden, waiting to be revealed at the right time.

The Fulfillment Unfolds

Walk through the Negev today and behold what Hashem has wrought. Where once only jackals roamed—the tannim of verse seven—there are now fields. Tomatoes.  Peppers. Dates.

The moshavim and kibbutzim of the Arava cultivate crops in the heart of the desert, irrigated by water that has traveled through an infrastructure of Divine orchestration.

“V’hayah sharav l’agam, v’tzima’on l’mabue’ei mayim”—”And the dry place shall become a pool, and the thirsty place shall become springs of water” (Yishayahu 35:7).

Is this not exactly what has occurred? The sharav, the scorching desert heat, has been answered with pools and reservoirs. The tzima’on, the desperate thirst of the land, has been replaced by springs of desalinated water flowing through a network of pipes and channels.

Regions that were absolutely barren in 1959 – read ZERO – now produce some sixty percent of Israel’s fruit and vegetable exports. The aravah—the very word the Navi uses—blossoms kachavatzales. This is a visible, tangible reality, the word of Hashem made manifest before our very eyes.

And now, the waters flow backward. The National Water Carrier, built in the 1960s to bring Kinneret water southward, has been reversed. Desalinated Mediterranean water now flows northward, uphill, to replenish the Kinneret itself. The lake that sustained Jewish communities for millennia – is now being filled by waters from the great sea—waters that have been purified and lifted and channeled through a system that no one in 1948 could have ever imagined.

This is unprecedented yad Hashem. No nation in all of world history has ever done this.

No country has ever piped desalinated seawater into a natural freshwater lake at a national scale. Eretz Yisroel is the very first. And we must ask: Why this land, to which Hashem swore an eternal covenant with Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov? Why this nation, which He chose from among all peoples to be His am segulah?

The answer is written clearly in Yishayahu 35.

The Error of Attribution

The Chofetz Chaim is reported to have warned that in the period before Moshiach, there would be wondrous technological advances, and many would attribute everything to human genius, failing to perceive the guiding hand of Hakadosh Baruch Hu. This, he said, would be a great test of faith.

We live in that time. It is easy—too easy—to read about pumping stations and reverse osmosis membranes and energy recovery devices and conclude that human beings have solved the water crisis through their own cleverness. The secular mind sees engineers; it does not see the Ribbono Shel Olam working through those engineers.

But consider: the same human race exists in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and throughout the Middle East. those nations face catastrophic water shortages while Israel flourishes. Why?

The Torah provides the answer. “Ki Hashem Elokecha meivi’acha el eretz tovah, eretz nachalei mayim, ayanot u’tehomos yotzim babika u’vahar”—”For Hashem your G-d is bringing you to a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills” (Devarim 8:7). The land was always meant to be a land of water—but only for the people to whom it was promised, and only when Hashem willed it.

But there is a caveat. When we survey Israel’s water abundance, we must not say “Kochi v’otzem yadi”—my power and the might of my hand—achieved this. We must remember Hashem, who gave the engineers their wisdom, who arranged the circumstances for their success, who prepared the land and the sea and the technology and the moment for His purposes.

The Lesson for Our Generation

Yishayahu 35 concludes with a vision of the redeemed returning to Zion: “U’fe’duyei Hashem yeshuvun, u’va’u Tziyon b’rinah, v’simchas olam al rosham; sason v’simcha yasigu, v’nasu yagon va’anachah”—”And the ransomed of Hashem shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away” (35:10).

We have witnessed ikvasa d’meshicha. Millions of Jews have come home to Zion from the four corners of the earth. We have seen the desert bloom. We have now seen waters break forth in the wilderness and streams flow in the aravah. We have seen the “dry place become a pool and the thirsty place become springs of water.”

What remains? To recognize the Author of these wonders. To see through the veil of natural causation to the Divine hand that guides all things. To strengthen weak hands and make firm tottering knees, to tell those of hasty heart: “Be strong, do not fear; behold your God!”

The Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh (Shmos 6:2-3) writes that in the days approaching the final redemption, Hashem will multiply signs and wonders, but they will be disguised within the natural order so that only those with eyes of faith will perceive them.

The faithless will see irrigation technology; the faithful will see ki nivke’u bamidbar mayim. The skeptic will see desalination chemistry; the believer will see v’hayah sharav l’agam.

We are living in prophetic times. The words spoken by Yeshayahu HaNavi twenty-seven centuries ago are coming to pass before our eyes. The question is not whether the prophecy is being fulfilled—any honest observer can see that it is. The question is whether we will see only human achievement, or whether we will behold kevod Hashem, hadar Elokeinu—the glory of the Lord, the beauty of our God.

May Hashem open our eyes to perceive His wonders, and may we merit to see the coming of Moshiach, speedily in our days. Amain!
