Why Australia should be looking at Israel NOW to see what our future could be like - as the nation which led the world in jab rollout now deals with an 'alarming' FOURTH wave despite huge number of Pfizer vaccinations
Daily Mail ^ | 08/22/2021 | Charlie Moore

Australia should look at Israel to learn how to deal with Covid-19 once the country has achieved a high vaccination rate, a leading diseases expert has said.

Professor Tony Blakely of the University of Melbourne said Australia can 'learn a lot' from Israel which under one of the fastest jab rollouts in the world has vaccinated 78 per cent of over 12s, the majority with Pfizer, but is suffering a surge in cases.

Australia has targeted a 70 per cent vaccination rate to start living more freely and without lockdown; and 80 per cent to get back to 'normal' life without masks, social distancing and QR codes.

However, last Sunday, Israel brought back restrictions including vaccination certificates or negative coronavirus tests to enter a range of public spaces such as restaurants and bars, cultural and sports venues, hotels and gyms.

The nation of 9 million is recording about 6,000 Covid-19 cases a day and 120 deaths a week.

Many of the infected are unvaccinated but 59 per cent of Covid-19 patients in hospital on August 15 were fully jabbed, with 87 per cent of them over 60.

This is largely because data shows the effectiveness of the Pfizer jab wanes over time. In response, Israel is now rolling out booster shots to anyone over 50 who had their second dose more than five months ago.

Professor Blakely said Australia and other countries around the world are learning from the Israeli experience.

'First of all, it's a bit gloomy, we can't escape that,' he told Daily Mail Australia.

'They're seeing waning immunity I believe mostly amongst the elderly but we're learning as we go. After time the virus can take off again.'

Why only compare these 4 countries?

What about the others? USA, UK, France, Spain, Italy?

How about the supposed 500K that died?
Was every single one conclusively proven to have died from Covid?

Some doors swing both ways…

Dr. David Bauer on Pfizer vaccine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGIKriLirmg

It is a 57 second video and essentially he says that after the 1st vax, your quantity of neutralizing antibodies has been decreased some.

After the second shot, you have a five to six fold decrease, which continues to decrease with time and the older you are.

So now they are proposing a THIRD and FOURTH shots as boosters.

I guess the first two shots didn’t compromise people’s immune systems enough, so they need to vax again to kill off more people.

Make that over 600,000 at this time in the USA. And the answer to your question is NO.

We know that a huge number of people have died WITH Covid, not of Covid. How many, we don’t know.

"...either use the same vaccine for the third dose or mix and match."

Just what I always wanted, a vaccine that I can mix and match with the fashion trends.

Irish soccer star, Roy Butler, dies at 23 of massive brain bleed three days after getting Covid “vaccine”

IIRC, aren't soccer players, with their constant headshots, as susceptible to CTE as NFL players? If so, I'd put dollars to donuts that his soccer-playing was a large contributor to his death.

Anthony Fauchi has 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules in his body (per Wikipedia). Covid-19 has 50,000 molecules.

Guess who’s winning.

Clueless journalists. Try "because of".

Never vaccinate during a pandemic.

I'm willing to entertain cause and effect, though I'd like to see it diagrammed. E.g., does the vaccine make one more susceptible to new infection or does the behavior following vaccination make this happen? It is clear that if vaccination mitigates or hides symptoms then a vaccinated individual can be a significant spreader.

Now your second comment fascinates me. Are you saying that vaccination should anticipate a pandemic rather than respond to mass spread?

So, you think vax-headache-hospital-coma-death was just an odd coincidence?

I had covid last November, I have antibodies still in August.
I’ll trust natural immunity.

Look at all of them at world meters.

I picked Sweden because they were the first covidiots. Many of the “its just the flu bro” wanted to be just like Sweden. It has not gone well for Sweden compared to their ethnic kinsman Iceland, Norway and Denmark.

I put Lebanon and Jordan there because they are neighbors most similar to Israel. There is no country as similar to Israel as Sweden is to Norway and Denmark but they are the closest.

Impossible, liberal propaganda rad Wired says the experimental gene therapy is miraculously effective.
While also berating and bullying people over it.

“It didn’t need to be this way. This spring, as people lined up for newly available, miraculously effective Covid-19 vaccines, it was easy to imagine a direct and speedy path to a protected society.” - Wired

If 60% in the hospital are injected wouldn’t it be reason to say 60% of the positive cases out of the hospital are injected?

Further, that injected people are more likely to test positive and be ill?

People who are not injected are either not getting the bug or are recovering at a better rate than injected people?

“Exactly, Curmudgeon. This bogus “vaccine” is causing the recipients’ bodies to produce trillions of spike proteins, and these troublesome little buggers are clogging capillaries, massing in organs, crossing the blood-brain battier, etc., and causing all sorts of problems.

If the shots contain spike proteins and wear off after 6 months, how can they continue to damage the body?

My question should have included “(if someone didn’t get the boosters)”.

Why? Is Politifact not available?
