Israel reopens to fully vaccinated ‘Green Pass’ holders — nearly half of the population.

JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel enjoyed a cappuccino and cake on the terrace of a Jerusalem cafe on Sunday morning to mark the broadest reopening of the country’s economy since the first coronavirus lockdown began a year ago.

For the first time in months, restaurants have reopened, with restrictions on occupancy and social distancing and with indoor seating available only to so-called Green Pass holders, meaning people over 16 who are fully vaccinated.

Israel has outpaced the rest of the world in vaccinations, with 55 percent of the population having received one dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and more than 41 percent two doses. It is now an international laboratory for the efficacy of the vaccine, and is becoming a test case for the practical, legal and ethical issues arising from a tier system for the vaccinated and unvaccinated.

Event halls are reopening for Green Pass holders and gatherings of up to 1,500 people will be allowed in stadiums and arenas. And after weeks of tight restrictions on entry to the country that left thousands of Israeli citizens stranded abroad, all citizens and permanent residents will be allowed to enter the country, but with a cap on numbers that will increase over the week from 1,000 to 3,000 people per day.

“This is a great day,” Mr. Netanyahu said, as he supped in the spring sunshine alongside the mayor of Jerusalem, Moshe Leon. “We are coming back to life.”

Israel and the Coronavirus is the most disheartening story of the last year. The most religious people in the country targeted by the police and the religious people calling out the police as “Nazis”.

Its important to note that Israel goes to the polls again on March 23rd and vaccination is a key plank for Prime Minister Netanyahu’s re-election effort.

Netanyahu has boasted of vaccine actually being manufactured by Israel’s pharma facilities later this year.

I haven’t read about this and am very curious to know if it is based on traditional vaccine science or mRNA like Pfizer’s or Moderna’s.

The Jerusalem Post has reported that Netanyahu is claiming to be in talks with both Pfizer and Moderna. So mRNA tech.

The details Bibi in talks with Pfizer and Moderna on vaccine production in Israel.

Good election talk but we’ll have to wait and see on the follow through...

Complete with lab testing on abortion-derived cell lines. A slightly longer life beats ethics and religious concerns, apparently.

Israel is more tyrannical than the Democrats. Or maybe just like them. I’m surprised.

So this is how the MotB appears, with a combination of cowering and fearmongering in society and people coming to accept that you can need proof you’re a good minion in society to be able to participate in society.
