Newborn dies after reportedly contracting herpes from controversial circumcision ritual

The concentration of nasty germs in a hospital is because no one goes to be admitted unless they are sick to begin with...but some employee's don't follow good health practices....the simplest one and doctors are great at not doing so, is washing hands between patients...Also picking up 4 or 5 charts to go see their patients and putting them on the bed while they examine the patient and talk with them...many people, even visitors don't go by the rules for patients in isolation, they don't like putting on a paper covering, mask in some cases or gloves and in fact take into a patients room germs that may cause patient with low resistance to catch something from outside...

But yes, there are some hospitals that don't follow their own protocols for cleanliness....

Hospitals are a good place to stay out of, by their very reason for being in the first place....illness and sickness.

Staph and strep can be very stubborn, they are all over the place but don't belong in the human body, they can wreck havoc.....

Hope you get your under control and have it gone...

Just so. Hospitals are full of infections, and patients often pick up new ones while they are in there. Maybe the Rabbi was responsible, and maybe not. Even if the infection was obviously located where the circumcision took place, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the Rabbi’s action was responsible for it.

It just seems typical of our MSM that they pick up on this story, when there have been hundreds and thousands of other cases of hospital infections and deaths that go unmentioned.

Agreed. I had no open wounds although I do have a compromised immune system which is why I picked up the staph. I had to be there though because my mother was dying and I had to keep an eye on her care. I saw and prevented things from happening to her that would curl your hair.

I have to agree with you. It just seems to stand out more with Jews because God chose to give them the Law (and Prophets, etc.). Every Jew I have ever known is extremely smart. Jews have more patents per capita than any other demographic. One of my Jewish friends is an inventor with multiple patents.

They are smart to a fault sometimes. Most people I know choose to drown out their conscience with music, entertainment, alcohol, or other pleasure-seeking endeavors. Jews seem to use intellectual pursuits to distract them from their consciences.

It’s a little like the Catholics, with all their rituals to distract the mind from feelings of guilt - chanting, repetitive prayers, rosary beads, endless pomp and ceremony. But the Jews are better at it. They fixate on a topic and explore it, and beat it to death, especially spiritual and Biblical subjects, all the while ignoring the Law God wrote on their hearts.

Yes, we all have this problem; at least those who have not completely drowned out their consciences. It just stands out more to me with Jews. Reminds me of Adam and Eve wearing fig leaves. What did they think? That God wouldn’t notice? Simultaneously, it was a little too much but not really enough.
