Israel offers a glimpse of life after herd immunity: With 80% of adults vaccinated, cases have dropped to 15 per day

The decline in infections has been so encouraging that Israel lifted some of its last remaining coronavirus restrictions on Tuesday. Businesses can now operate at full capacity, and residents no longer have to show proof that they've been vaccinated to enter restaurants, sporting events, or entertainment venues.

Even before the new rule, Israel's schools were fully open, masks were no longer required outdoors, and mass gatherings were taking place across the country. Now Israel's only barrier to normal life is a requirement to wear masks in public indoor spaces - a rule that could be lifted as soon as next week, according to Israeli health officials.

"This is probably the end of COVID in Israel, at least in terms of the current strains that we know," Dr. Eyal Zimlichman, deputy director general at Sheba Medical Center, Israel's largest hospital, told Insider. "We've obviously reached herd immunity."

It contains NO VIRUS. It ain't a vaccine.

The same adenovirus gene therapy used in A-Z and J&J is used for cancer treatment. Designed to stimulate an immune response. Don't want to call it "vaccine"? That's fine. It's gene therapy. It's also experimental, not sure why anyone would claim that it's not.

This is Awesome!! Herd Immunity for a Virus with a 99.8% Survival Rate!, Yippee, we should Celebrate, NO!!!

Yes indeed we should. The ICUs are no longer being overwhelmed, far fewer people are getting deathly ill, far fewer people are now facing long lasting if not life-long serious disabilities, fewer families having to mourn the loss of loved ones, etc.

And perhaps most importantly, we will not have to worry about the danger of people like you spreading false propaganda and putting people needlessly in harms way.

You obviously don’t even know what a vaccine is or its purpose.

That was widely reported as being a dangerous malady of kids getting COVID19 itself. Did you miss those reports?

It’s really rough when the data destroys someone's narrative. Isn’t it?

Apparently not - because you all just keep plugging along with the same false narratives and propaganda.

It is interesting how increasingly desperate those carrying their false narrative are getting day by day as evidence and data prove what they have said to be wrong. Many of them even contended that COVID19 did not even exist - the Wuhan lab leak becoming an increasingly probable source of the origin is blowing that out of the water. Desperation is getting off the charts.

Now this is coming to an end, no thanks to the misinformation they have been spreading for over year, and their cause they’ve pursued with religious zeal will also be dying out...what will they do now?

And our vaxed friend will be dying from the so called “vaccine” or already dead. It’s a death jab folks. You geniuses had poison injected into you. You are ticking time bombs.
