As they say in Yiddish .... "A neiah maaseh" Rabbonim becoming doctors.....
Rav Shmuel Kaminetzky has a Rebbeizin that is an anti-vaccine cult follower, and has convinced her patsy husband to join the bandwagon, so to speak!
Rav Shmuel Kaminetzky though a nice fellow cannot take any pressure at all. Years ago he gave a haskama for Slifkins book,a book that was then distributed by Feldheim Books, but when other Rabbonim who couldn't read a word English banned the books, he withdrew his haskama, even though he was the only Rabbi that read English, and found absolutely nothing wrong with it.
He also cowered when his brother, Rav Nossen Kaminetzky came out with a book "The making of a Gadol," where he wrote that Rav Yaakov Kaminetzky, his father, was well read in the classics especially the book Anna Karenina. He also wrote that Rav Aron Kotler wrote a love letter to his then kalleh, a no no!
So Lakewood Gedoilim went berserk and banned that book.
So instead of standing tall with his brother R' Nossen , R' Shmuel ran to the hills and suddenly vanished!
This anti-vaccine business will certainly without a doubt kill thousands of children, but these Rabbonim could care less and are fighting the parents that are terrified that children without vaccines will come into the schools and contaminate the others....
This has already happened in the US school system, with diseases like, mumps, measles and polio that were long eradicated, coming back in full force!
So now a bunch of courageous doctors got together and put out an ad to notify the parents that "lo zoo ha'derech" and not vaccinating the children is a danger to other children and to themselves.

R' Nosson Kamenetsky did not write that R' Aharon wrote a love letter to his kallah. He wrote that R' Isser Zalman (the kallah's father) complained to the Alter of Slabodka that R' Aharon wrote something "inappropriate" to his kallah. I heard directly from R' Nosson that the "inappropriate" item was that R' Aharon wrote that the chabura he gives is the most popular one in the yeshiva, which R' Isser Zalman felt was a haughty statement to make.

I also spoke to Rav Nosson Shlitah and I stand by every word I wrote.
Of course, I am in no position to dispute your account of what R' Nosson may have told you, but the fact remains that he did not write that R' Aharon wrote a love letter. R' Nosson wrote that R' Aharon wrote something that R' Isser Zalman deemed inappropriate.

I do love your creative way of re-writing history!
I don't think that writing a love letter to a Kallah is a "pechisas" ha'kovod for Reb Aron z"l in fact I feel that this fact should be publicized so that people see how gedoilim treated their kallas and wives!
BTW I own the original uncensored copy of "The Making of a Godol" and it clearly states that Reb Aron z"l wrote a letter to his kallah that Reb Issar Zalman took as a "love" letter!
I am not rewriting history.
I did not say that writing a love letter is a "pesichas kavod."
I said that R' Nosson did not write this in the book. I also have the forst edition, and I challenge you to quote where R' Nosson writes what you claim he writes.
You might try being a little more respectful.
