More than 1,000 Israelis test positive for COVID
Jerusalem Post ^ | 7/17/21

Posted on 07/17/2021 8:01:45 PM PDT by Tipllub

The effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine against the Delta variant is “weaker” than health officials had hoped, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said on Friday, as over 1,000 people tested positive for coronavirus and more countries were added to the list of places to which Israelis will be banned from traveling.

“We do not know exactly to what degree the vaccine helps, but it is significantly less,” Bennett said.

An anti virus update will be needed from Pfizer. Make sure to download it into your bodies when it’s available.

Positive “tests”?

WTF?

What really matters are truly clinical cases, hospitalizations, ICU useages, and deaths.

Otherwise: Can the fearporn spam.

Re: 4

I agree. Who cares?
'Positive test results' from a pretty shaky test to start with ranks very low of the things to be concerned about. Also the latest round of 'CoVid' seems to be on the order of a weak cold.
The Media keeps broadcasting their fear porn, and once again the edicts go out to mask up and hide under your beds.

Just get on with life. If you are sickly, aged, obese, diabetic, ... then take your precautions. But the Government (the Feds, and the Blue State Governors) live for the opportunity to enslave their subjects by destroying small businesses, and keeping people addicted to government handouts.
This nonsense is criminal, and destructive to society.

Actually, if you are obese and diabetic, losing weight will go a long way towards a better outcome should you get the WuFlu.

an earlier article said about 63% effective, but, it’s 88 in England and Scotland and a little higher in the US 93? maybe?. Which brings the question of genetics into play.

Has anyone dared to do a comprehensive genetic profile beyond what was hinted at early in the pandemic? Very un-PC but seems necessary all the same and might help make sense of disparities

Agreed.
One good thing this CoVid hysteria has taught us - take care of your health. God gave you this body, take care of it. I know that in the United States we are surrounded by easy access to good tasting, sugary, and fattening foods -- but we all need to try to eat healthy, and exercise. Otherwise their is virus out there looking to hunt us down.

Interesting, is it not, with all the hype about what to do to deal with COVID, that the things they have been pushing the hardest don’t really work that well, and the thing that would probably give us the best results by far, losing weight and good nutrition, are not even mentioned.

Of course, pushing people to lose weight would not be very popular or well received.

It will not be effective.

I mean that they would likely not lose weight.

Good Lord! Don't you people realize that promoting good health practices will do NOTHING to fatten the bank accounts of pharmaceutical executives planning a month-long sojourn in the Caribbean this winter?

How dare you!

Probably not what with the way people blame shift their issues on someone else all the time.

Losing weight isn’t easy. I know that.

But it can be done and I’d hazard a guess that even if they don’t get down to their ideal weight that even losing a few pounds would make a difference.

People often lose weight, and gain it back later. I think those who are able to lose weight probably did it before the wuhan coronavirus.

Well, of course there’s always that, too.

If people lost weight, the incidence of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, to name a few would drop and big pharma would lose even more as people would not be needing their criminally expensive medications any more.

A big help would be putting the food pyramid, or whatever it is these days, back to eating like our grandparents ate; real food in modest quantities.

But that’s too much trouble for most people.
