Timely Advice from the Rebbe: Avoid Experimental Drugs!

2 Nissan 5712

Peace and blessing!

[This is] in response to your letter from 23 Adar, in which you wrote to me that you had read in the newspaper that a new medicine for paralysis has been developed in the United States, discovered by a certain doctor in St. Louis, and you asked my opinion about this.

According to what I was able to find out, this is not a tested or proven medicine. And in fact, it's not [really] a medicine, but only eases the symptoms. There is also room for concern since these are potent injections which carry possible risk of injury, etc.

Based on this, it is my opinion that it is not worthwhile to rely on the information we're hearing and take measures which entail the aforementioned concerns. 

G-d will send healing through another medium, and you'll soon be able to send me good tidings about this.

With blessings for the Passover holiday to be kosher and truly happy, both for you and for your whole family, especially your grandson and parents, may they all live [and be well].

traveling on the train

 “Many people speak about this [the ills of Zionism], and many people hear and understand, but in their hearts they still kiss the idol. Every small child cannot understand today how they made the Eigel and danced for it and how the Spies and Korach did what they did — and everyone wonders and is astounded and cannot understand the yetzer hara of those days. But so, too, this is how the yetzer hara [for Zionism] works today, as everyone dances with it. And when, someday, this ye- tzer hara will be replaced by a different one, people will then see that today as well, it was like the Eigel and the Meraglim ... this is blind- ness that causes people not to feel the evil in it.

"It has come to a point where you cannot even talk against today’s yetzer hara [for fear of reprisals]. There are only a few leftover groups that do not follow after the Eigel: In Brisk there are those; and among the Yerushalmis there are people who do not want anything to do with the Zionists and understand we need to distance ourselves from them; and so, too, did the Satmar Rav and his chassidim distance themselves from them. But the rest of the chareidim travel on the train of Zionism and are partners with them in all matters.”

He says that the NIH, universities, and the media have silenced discussion of medical treatment for COVID and focused only on vaccines even as there are viable treatments. There is no need for people who have had COVID to be vaccinated as there's nothing better than natural immunity. Yet, the push is for everyone to get vaccinated. COVID is not spread by asymptomatic people. 85% of deaths were preventable. The mistake was not focusing on treatments.
