Israel Finds Pfizer Jab Only 39% Effective At Stopping Delta Variant
Investor Village ^ | 07/23/2021 | Tyler Durden

Over the past month, Israel, the world's most heavily vaccinated country (with leading mRNA jabs, no less) has seen the number of positive COVID tests has risen by more than 30x as the number of active infections in the country has surpassed 10K.

Meanwhile, the Israeli Health Ministry, which has previously estimated the true efficacy of the Pfizer jab against the delta variant at only 64% (while still more than 90% effective at preventing serious illness and death), just released new data purporting to show that while the Pfizer jab is still 88% effective at preventing serious illness, it's only 39% effective at preventing infection with delta.

Alex Berenson, a former NYT journalist who has often reported on scientific findings that don't support the official narrative on masks and vaccines, shared the findings in a tweet, and speculated that the true efficacy in offering protection against the Delta variant might be even lower - perhaps as low as 30%.

Israel now says the Pfizer vaccine is down to only 40% protection against #Covid infection in the last month.

That’s the good news.

The bad news: the real number is probably below 30% at this point since the 40% number includes two weeks when effectiveness was notably higher. pic.twitter.com/XD3iFRZPPj — Alex Berenson (@AlexBerenson) July 23, 2021

Even Bloomberg acknowledged that the Israeli data "could be skewed because of different ways of testing vaccinated groups of people versus those who hadn't been innoculated, according to the report.

"The heavily skewed exposure patterns in the recent outbreak in Israel, which are limited to specific population sectors and localities," means the analysis may not be able to take all factors into account, said Ran Balicer, chairman of Israel’s national expert advisory team on Covid-19 response. "We are trying to complement this research approach with additional ones, taking additional personal characteristics into account. But this takes time and larger case numbers."

BBG also acknowledged that the data "are likely to fuel debate over whether booster shots should be given to people who've already been vaccinated - something Pfizer has said it plans to request..."

But Dr. Anthony Fauci, the FDA and the CDC have all said that there's no evidence yet that a third "booster" shot would be necessary. Israel has already ordered a round of booster shots that it plans to start distributing to the most vulnerable patients Aug. 1.

The Israeli numbers are much lower than other recent studies, including one study recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, which found that two doses offers 88% protection against the Delta variant causing symptomatic disease, while offering 94% protection against the alpha variant.

But never mind all that: As President Biden said earlier this week, "if you are vaccinated, you are safe." Unless you're not.

So, at least 5 jabs needed to get to 90%?

Considering that many “successful” vaccines are only 50% effective, this isn’t out of line.

Nope, seasonal jabs like the flu vaccine seems to be the goal here.

The influenza virus keeps mutating, so does Covid.

And why aren’t we testing our population for CoVID antibodies to determine our natural acquired immunity levels by age group, like Sweden does? That’s the goal, isn’t it, of herd immunity?

When the Pfizer shot destroys 5/6ths of your immune system, you tend to be more vulnerable…

According to Dr. Robert Malone, the man who invented mRNA technology, the approach taken with the vaccine will accelerate the virus’ evolution. The vaccine as implemented will result in training the immune system to attack only the initial virus and therefore, variants will survive and eventually it’s possible everyone vaccinated will eventually be overcome by the virus and die as their immune system has been mislead by the vaccine. (That’s my take. Here is a link to the Dark Horse podcast where he was interviewed, but I don’t know if this is the one where this particular scenario was discussed. These people are having the discussion we are not seeing in the media. Incidentally, YouTube keeps unsubscribing me and I get no notifications. There are only 4000 views and my thumb’s up keeps getting removed. They did have a link to the three hour version in the comments, but all the other links, including the documents they mention have been removed.)

Exactly! I did the math — 5 jabs.

They will push for mRNA in the annual flu fax after the corrupt FDA approves the COVID jab.

It will be called “corona ax” or Cvax for short.

That’s the one nobody wants to watch. It redefines everything going on and what is going to happen.

You sir hit the nail on the head. If our wanna be rulers would address those of us with antibodies and why the hard push on children, then I’d be more receptive to the idea that maybe they were honestly concerned about the health of citizens and not just being tyrants.

So one would think.

But considering who are the big proponents of the COVID vax,, no, I don’t think actual immunity has a thing to do with the shots.

Re: Annual COVID and flu shots?

I just read this morning that Pfizer is working on a mRNA vaccine for influenza.

Covid deaths in Israel yesterday -
THREE
Out of 10 million population.
Again, Seekandfind, who spent the last 18 months telling us Covid is just the flu, is now concerned that the Covid vaccines don’t work. If it’s just the flu why do you care if the vaccines don’t work?

Can you dig up the past posts I made that proves what you are alleging?

And is Dr. Malone is implying that if you DON’T get the vaccine, you have to risk contracting Covid and not dying so that your natural immunity will be better than any vaccine and recognize ANY variant?

I think you're confusing Seekandfind with Impimp, who ran the daily "It's just the flu, bro" threads.

Iceland also found this out.

Makes me want to scream.

Wake up, people. If the experts ruling over us IGNORE NATURALLY ACQUIRED IMMUNITY, then they are following something other than science. Money or power or both. We need to wake up.

“And is Dr. Malone is implying that if you DON’T get the vaccine, you have to risk contracting Covid and not dying so that your natural immunity will be better than any vaccine and recognize ANY variant?”

The discussion of the video I watched ranged widely, but my take was if we’d simply treated the illness with Hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin the survival rate would have been very high and the resulting survivors would help create herd immunity. But doctors in some places have been threatened with losing their license if they prescribe those drugs as a treatment. (A nurse who responded in another post said that she could confirm that.)
