“Fully vaccinated,” no doubt.

The Israeli government may succeed where Adolphus failed.

Wonder how many really have the coof, vaccine enhanced coof, or are there with some vaxx related injury being blamed on the coof.

Many of these citizens have already had 4 jabs…

So yeah, looks like a relatively mild variant is causing bigger problems

And it’s common knowledge that Israel is one of the most vaxxed countries in the world.

Maybe the booster boosts the disease and not the immune system.

If there really is a statistically significant increase in all cause mortality in vaxxed nations, that’s gonna require one helluva distraction.

Prepare for incoming, folks.

We ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.

One of the most highly multiple (it ain’t a vax people) vaxxed countries in the world.

Empirical evidence trumps the prognostications of government funded whores. You gonna believe them or your lying eyes?
