One of the many lessons of 2020 will be how simple reasoning can so easily be muddied by misguided (at best) leaders and bizarre group think. In 20 years we will wonder how we could have possibly questioned if Covid 19 is really all that deadly even though we all know that millions have been infected and many hundreds of thousands died. No one will believe that so many actually thought that masks and social distancing would not help save lives in the face of an airborne virus that has spread around the world.
Thank you Rabbi Shapiro for having the courage to always seek truth and share with the world no matter how unpopular.
