Israel sees 70% spike in number of seriously ill COVID patients within a week
Times of Israel ^ | 06/17/2022 | Staff

The number of coronavirus patients in serious condition in Israel reached 140 on Friday, marking a near 70% rise since last week, with health experts warning that the current situation was “unstable.”

While Israel has seen rising infection numbers for a few weeks, a rise in seriously ill patients marks a real concern as the country deals with the spread of the new variant BA.5, with experts warning that hospitals may need to reopen COVID wards. The number was up from 85 seriously ill patients on Friday last week.

Some 7,313 Israelis tested positive for the virus on Friday, the Health Ministry said. The reproduction number (R) stood at 1.31 as of Friday. The figure measures how many people each coronavirus carrier infects on average, with any number above 1 meaning the spread of COVID-19 is increasing. It first began to rise above 1 in mid-May, having stayed below that threshold for nearly two months…

The brain-dead mantra - “we’re glad to get the jabs and boosters or it could have been worse”

We’ve had to friends say that to us, and we just couldn’t believe it. We really believed only politicians and other public officials used that lie, I mean line.

Let’s just hope Geert Vanden Bosche’s hypothesis of what may happen in the next couple months is not true. He was spot on in predicting Delta and Omicron. Welcomes scientific debate, but ‘narrative keepers’ don’t want any other input into the discussion.

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

Because the vaxxxxxxxxxxes and boosters have compromised their immune systems. The stupid vaxxxxes kinda, sorta give you some immunity for a while, against the Covid strain they were designed around. Which, as far as I know is the original covid that came out two years ago.

But this is done at the expense of your immune system being able to fight off new Covid strains and other non-Covid viruses. Bacterial problems too probably. Israel should start using, distributing ivermectin and distributing 10000 iu D3 softgels along with K2.

Forget ventilators. Israel should buy 1000 hyperbaric chambers and start using them on the most Covid ill.

The vaccine is the cause for the jump. We were warned it was going to happen and sure enough, it is

Being vaxed is a co-morbidity.

My wife just recovered from a debilitating bout of the flu. She's triple jabbed and also gets a flu shot every year. I just tested positive for covid on Monday and all I have are mild cold-like symptoms. I never took the needle and I don't do flu shots. I believe her flu was so severe because her immune system was severely compromised by those three covid shots. This is on top of having survived breast cancer in 2019.

This should prove interesting.

The “vaxxed” wave?

a) ADE, or b) they released another freaking engineered virus (like COVID Delta).

That is terrible. If she will listen, get her to get her D3 levels tested. Get them up to 70-80 ng/ml. Alaska has little winter sunlight. You need D3 supplements there, 10000 iu D3 daily and K2. Quercetin -Zinc, ivermectin

ADE?

No not yet. Looks more like OAS right now. Israel with its very high jabbed population will be a canary in the coal mine.

When the body count accelerates and starts to get medieval then you can say ADE. Thats going to be hard to hide.

…But I thought that Israel was up near 100% vaxxed.

So, how can this be????

After all, isn’t the vax “safe and effective”???
