This is the kind of attitude that drove away Israel Chai.
Attitude drove him away?
Um no. He repeatedly spammed antivax nonsense here and was told repeatedly to stop by Chaim, and he blatantly disregarded it.
Then he crossed the line by insulting my mother, and Chaim demanded him to apologize, and he refused to apologize and instead said "bye" and then left.
Cool revisionist history though.
In this thread, Zelenko has been called a clown, a false person, a scam artist and a snakeoil salesman. Ironically, the Rabbi we all are supposed to be following said defamation is the last refuge of non thinkers.
I call him that for all the false information he has spread publicly. He chose to make himself a Covid persona. And now he spreads medical misinformation. It is important to dispute what he says and call him out for the harm he is causing.
I have the same language for any Covid Charlatan, whether they have the title "Orthodox Rabbi" or not.
When he is cited here as an argument from authority, it is not defamation to reply that he has no authority to opine on such matters.
If you want me to refute specific claims of his, I can, but after a while I get tired of doing this over and over again. At some point I don't have to keep proving how "The Reform movement is not real Judaism" at some point we accept that conclusion and call it for what it is. That isn't defamation because it's based on actual information and facts.
Posting a 30-minute video interview of him and not making any substantive claim is an argument from authority and an assertion here (in a propagandizing manner) that you uphold this individual as an authority on the subject. It is a commensurate response to assert otherwise. Not defamation.
Also, I'm sure the Arab Nazis in Israel care if they kill vaccinated or unvaccinated Jews.
LOL like this is relevant? No one is saying to get vaccinated to impress Arabs. That doesn't even make sense.
