Will The Real Rotzeach and Mechallel Shem Shomayim Please Stand Up, Dr Aaron Glatt

The below narrative with links has been making it's rounds on social media. It is is a damning indictment of Dr. Aaron Glatt and South Nassau Communities Hospital. Dr. Glatt Masquerades as a Rabbi in his spare time. Dr. Glatt should be renamed Dr. Treif. Glatt and his followers have been disparaging and demonizing the "ANTI VAXXERS" in the Orthodox Jewish Community for years. Epithets like "Murderers","Rotzeach","Rodef"  and "Chillul Hashem" or "Mechallel Shem Shomayim" "Desecrating G-ds Name" have been lobbed at the "ANTI VAXXERS" by Glatt and his Followers in print and online. Is Glatt a murderer for witholding Ivermectin from Covid Patients???? Did he create a Massive Chilul Hashem by seemingly conducting euthanasia on Deborah Bucko????? Shame on this Arrogant Baal Gaavah!!!! Shame on the Synagogues that employ him!!!!!!! Shame on the Newspapers that feature him!!!!!!! Shame on the Communal organizations that tout him!!!!!!! Shame on the other Rabbis that follow and support him!!!!!!! It is indeed time for a GREAT RESET in the ORTHODOX JEWISH  COMMUNITY and the first step should be to vomit out the phony leaders in the rabbinic and lay leadership that have failed so miserably in their jobs.


Several months ago, Rabbi Dr. Aaron Glatt and Mount Sinai Hospital of South Nassau (where he is the Chair of Department of Medicine), blocked a prescription for Ivermectin for a dying COVID patient (Deborah Bucko), who became progressively ill under their care, that was prescribed by an infectious disease doctor there as an emergency measure. Deborah's husband, Scott Mantel, had to sue 3 times to force Glatt and the hospital to allow it. The court forced them the first two times, in which Glatt and the hospital only allowed the treatment for 5 days each, even though Dr. Pierre Kory demonstrated that her prognosis was improving while on the treatment. Deborah Bucko, a 52 year-old wife and mother of two, died while her husband was trying for a third time to get ivermectin.

Here is a link to Scott Mantel's original affidavit pleading with the court to force them to not block the emergency prescription: https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=YF8hIp/KxpgtPm2vCmIkOQ==

Here is a link to Dr. Pierre Kory's response to Dr. Glatt explaining why they won't give it (Glatt's explanation can't be seen, as the hospital requested restricted status): https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=cUkzHMMt1Tp8hldx3T547g==

Rabbi Dr. Glatt is arguably the most influential "expert" in COVID-related matters for the Orthodox Jewish community in the US. You can hardly escape his opinions published in newspapers, his recommendations of (draconian) shul COVID policies/school reopening policies, or his actual assistance in drafting such policies. Yet he denied a safe emergency treatment to a critically ill patient, despite evidence provided of effectiveness. Furthermore, as Scott Mantel showed in his exhibits, several other hospitals were sued for the same thing, and those critical patients improved under continuing ivermectin treatment. Gee, I wonder why people don't trust the medical establishment.

In conclusion, this case raises serious questions of both ethics and trustworthiness in modern orthodoxy's main "expert" in this area. Why should anyone trust anything that comes out of the mouth of someone who purposely withdraws potentially life saving treatment seemingly for the sake of politics? Only the willfully blind and ignorant could trust such a person.

Here is a link to a meta-analysis by Theresa Lawrie, MBBCh, PHD, who consults for the W.H.O., that concludes with "moderate certainty," that Ivermectin prevents and treats COVID-19: https://journals.lww.com/americantherapeutics/Fulltext/2021/08000/Ivermectin_for_Prevention_and_Treatment_of.7.aspx
