In a World First, Bennett Announces Third COVID Jab Campaign for Israelis Over 60
Hareetz ^ | July 29, 2021 | Ronny Linder

Posted on 07/30/2021 3:03:33 PM PDT by wannabegeek

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced on Thursday a world-first vaccination drive to inoculate people over 60 with a third COVID vaccine dose, starting Sunday.

“Call your parents and grandparents now and make sure they get the third shot,” Bennett told a televised press briefing, claiming there is enough evidence to support the need for a third dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

"Reality proves the vaccines are safe," Bennett said. "Reality also proves the vaccines protects from severe morbidity and death. And like the flu vaccine that needs to be renewed from time to time, it is the same in this case."

As of Sunday, Israelis over 60 who received their second vaccine dose at least five months ago will be offered the booster shot, which Bennett said “gives your body very strong protection. Get the booster shot; take care of yourselves and those near you.”

President Isaac Herzog will get his booster shot on Friday morning, two days before it is available to the general public

how many deaths from the “vaccine”? how many seriously harmed? or do you not bother to consider those things, just the ridiculous constantly changing methods of counting “cases” and “cover deaths”? the monkied with the numbers to escalate them under Trump and immediatley changed how they calculated them under biden wouldn’t that make you think other countries play around with the numbers too? Seriously, CDC just admitting larger percentage of Vaxed people are the ones getting covid. Unvaxed not so much. The vaxed have weakened their immunity by taking the “vax” it was designed toweaken immunity not help. yet you fools keep thinking the “vax” will solve things, fools, it’s making matters worse for anyone taking it and those who choose not to take it..

Photoshop? These are images provided directly from the National Institutes of Health’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana. These are from samples isolated from a patient in the United States (South Carolina if I remember correctly). More info here: https://www.niaid.nih.gov/news-events/novel-coronavirus-sarscov2-images

Israel is experiencing 1 COVID-19 death per day on average in a country of over 9 million people. It’s worked beautifully. But it was developed for the April 2020 variant. Delta didn’t exist when the vaccines were developed. And Delta has mutations in key proteins which change their structure such that antibodies for previous SARS-CoV-2 variants don’t fit as well. Along with that, Delta is vastly more infectious (R0 of 8 - 9.5 vs 2.5 for the April 2020 variant and 1.3 for the original Wuhan virus). Even people who were previously infected are more at risk from the Delta variant for these reasons. About 1 in 6,000 previously infected are getting reinfected with the Delta variant.

Even with all that, the vaccines are still working remarkably well for Israel. This move by the Prime Minister is to boost immunity even higher for those most at risk of serious illness in an attempt to ensure deaths REMAIN near-zero. Is it necessary? Arguable. Is it a problem to do it? Likely not. There’s no known risk associated with a third shot for Pfizer or Moderna.

The polio vaccine requires four shots. Does that make it bad? You know anyone in the US who’s had polio recently? Sometimes more does work better.

Lighten up Francis. It was a joke. Your vaccine must have killed your sense of humor.

All those type of photos are always enhanced and art added.

If you don’t think they are touched up with art then you are a bigger idiot than your vaccine pushing on FR leads us to believe.

Fair enough, and yes, they’re colorized. They state that right on the linked site I provided for them. There’s no color in an electron microscopy image because at that scale, the concept of “color” doesn’t really apply.

There's no known info. There is known info that the 2nd shot of these mRNA vaccines seems to produce more adverse reactions than the 1st for individuals.

Then my comment stand. I am correct and you are wrong. Way more than you are right. You crowed about the vaccine being prevention, then reducing symptoms now where are we.

A word of friendly advice. There are 2 sides. Those with the plan and the rest of us. Are you the first or second ? I know where I am. I am being lied to. Election, insurrection, fascist, vaccine kook .....

Please learn from it. Your not in the club and the club does not have your best interest in mind. It has their power in mind. I am making the assumption that you are not one of their useless idiots.

The FDA, NIH and CDC are not from the government and here to help. Please think. Quit protecting them.

Is cool science happening - yes. Is the real truth seeing the light - unfortunately no. They bet your, your family, mother/father ... in order to seek power. It’s all just photoshop of an image to them.

Think Free, live free, preach freedom/liberty and fight the good fight. Your smart so use it for the correct team, team constitution.

Doesn’t sound like much like a victory, much suffering till God almighty enters.

Zechariah 14:1-21 ESV

Behold, a day is coming for the Lord, when the spoil taken from you will be divided in your midst. For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped. Half of the city shall go out into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle

that, yes.
but that is not the final state of matters.
there are several Biblical descriptions of the final state,
such as Amos 9:

“13. Behold, the days come, saith the LORD,
That the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
And the treader of grapes him that soweth seed;
And the mountains shall drop sweet wine,
And all the hills shall melt.
14 And I will turn the captivity of My people Israel,
And they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them;
And they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof;
They shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15 And I will plant them upon their land,
And they shall no more be plucked up
Out of their land which I have given them,

Saith the LORD thy God.”
