SNIP
Data published by Israel’s Ministry of Health in late July suggested that the Pfizer shot was just 39% effective against preventing infection in the country in late June and early July, compared with 95% from January to early April. In both periods, however, the shot was more than 90% effective in preventing severe disease.
Experts warn that these early assessments have not been scientifically proven. The small numbers of cases involved, Israel’s testing policies and a host of other biases could have skewed the results.
Still, as summer approached, infections began to spiral.
SNIP
After many days of zero COVID-19 deaths in June, at least 230 Israelis have died so far this month.
Unlike previous epicenters of infection in Israel’s crowded, less-vaccinated ultra-Orthodox communities, this scourge primarily took hold in well-vaccinated, middle-class suburbs.

“We are still in routine mode, with the feeling that we are vaccinated. It’s hard to make the switch in public discourse and say, ‘Listen, we are in a catastrophe.’”
Israel is now pinning its hopes on booster shots.
“The vaccinations were supposed to solve everything,” he said. “We now understand that the vaccines are not enough.”

"....of the department of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco...SNIP....“That clearly is not true.”
And when will you figure out that vaccines are the problem?
Except the majority of the cases are from the vaxed. Guess that worked out well…
Would be nice if Israel got on the Ivermectin train, so the world could see that it works.
They made one mistake , they used Mystery Vaccine
As a Monday morning quarterback, it’s easy to say THEY SHOULD HAVE USED THE MODERNA VACCINE.
Then many wouldn’t follow since they’re Jews...

Actually, this plummeting of efficacy (against infection) of the Pfizer vaccine when facing the Delta variant is in line with results of the Mayo Clinic study.

As a person researching this content, I can say, “THey should have rejected the bioweapon.”
Infections, inschmections.
At this point it really IS “It’s just the flu, bro”.
There is no breakthrough covid, it’s all the same and it will never be overcome because it is not natural.
You will either live through it, die or worse.
That is my personal observation

They are bioweapons and the data used to push them was faked. They used a fake PCR test to determine ‘efficacy.” Pfizer ignored thousands of cases of observed illness because they claim the fake PCR indicated ‘negative’ for illness. It’s all fake. All of it.

What’s been fake in this thread so far has only been YOUR comments.
Does Israel have a plan that Biden can borrow to extract US citizens from Afghanistan?
Or are we just focusing on pushing the Covid button to try and distract the public?
“In both periods, however, the shot was more than 90% effective in preventing severe disease.”
Seems to me that more than 90% of cases aren’t severe in the first place.

Ignoring the anomaly in the data with the Orthodox community, the government’s response to failing efficacy of the vaccines is to double down, or perhaps I should say triple down, and go with a booster shot.

We are fighting bio warfare at the same time China’s puppet Biden was assigned to hand Afghanistan to the Taliban. “We” can multi-task.

You’ve caught the statistical slight-of-hand.
RE: Would be nice if Israel got on the Ivermectin train, so the world could see that it works.
If it worked to kick the Delta Variant’s ass in the densely populated Indian State of Uttar Pradesh with over 15 times the population of Israel and the rest of the world just gave a collective shrug, and demand more rabdon controlled studies, what makes you think that Israel could make a difference in how the world sees it?
