Most of the severe COVID-19 cases at one of Israel's largest hospital complexes are people who received at least three shots, according to the director of the coronavirus ward.
The Middle East nation has one of the world's highest rates of vaccination, about 90%, with many high-risk patients having received a fourth shot.
Prof. Yaakov Jerris told Israel's Channel 13 News that "most of our severe cases are vaccinated," Israel National News reported.
"They had at least three injections. Between 70 and 80 percent of the serious cases are vaccinated," said Jerris, who works for Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, also known as Ichilov Hospital, the nation's second largest.
"So, the vaccine has no significance regarding severe illness, which is why just 20 to 25 percent of our patients are unvaccinated."
At an Israeli government cabinet meeting on Sunday, Jerris tried to clear up confusion regarding how COVID cases are reported.
"Defining a serious patient is problematic," he told the ministers. "For example, a patient with a chronic lung disease always had a low level of oxygen, but now he has a positive coronavirus test result which technically makes him a 'serious coronavirus patient.'"
That isn't accurate, he said…

The goal was preventing covid

It was never anything of the sort. The goal was
1. To preclude overflowing our medical facilities, and
2. To REDUCE the transmission rate, reduce the seriousness and reduce the death rate.
No, I would not get vaxxed with an unproven, experimental vaccine. I would take my chances regarding possible severe illness. If the vaccine was no longer experimental and proven to do what the maker claims it will do, then I probably would get vaccinated.
The “not get as ill” is and has been a strawman argument. In fact, MOST people — vaccinated and unvaccinated — did not get “as ill”. And just what is the quantifier? My wife and I got very sick from Covid, but didn’t end up in the hospital. So by that standard, neither of us got “as ill” as a hospitalized patient.
Folks need to stop the mental gymnastics that helps them shill for a CDC and pharma industry that has demonstrated — without doubt — that they have been clueless on this entire endeavor, and have pushed vaccines that are NOT vaccines that have very little impact on prevention of illness or death.
“No, I would not get vaxxed with an unproven, experimental vaccine. I would take my chances regarding possible severe illness. If the vaccine was no longer experimental and proven to do what the maker claims it will do, then I probably would get vaccinated.”
And how long would you wait for that? What in your mind would mean “proven”? And what does “experimental” mean?
All vaccines are “experimental” regardless of when you take them. We all have different bodies that may react differently to a vaccine. So you taking a so called “proven” vaccine for the first time, you are conducting an experiment on yourself. You don’t know exactly how you’re going to respond to it.
But, hey, it’s your body and your choice. Good luck.
Should have virtually no hospitalization if the vackseen works.
In fantasyland, you are correct.
