Indian COVID Strain Spreads in Israel, Also Among Vaccinated
Haaretz ^ | April 29, 2021

Posted on 04/29/2021 7:45:41 PM PDT by 11th_VA

Israel reports dozens of Indian COVID strain cases. The variant is of concern because it consist of two mutations of its protein, which could make it more resistant to the vaccine.

The Health Ministry has identified 41 new cases of the Indian coronavirus variant in Israel, including four in people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19. Israel's genomic sequencing system found that 24 of those infected with the variant, which experts say may be more contagious than other variants, had returned recently from abroad. The other 17 contracted it via community transmission, including five schoolchildren.

The Health Ministry and the IDF Home Front Command are carrying out widespread testing at the schools where the children are enrolled.

Twenty-one of the people who tested positive for the variant are foreign nationals.

Last week, Israel banned entry to tourists from India over concerns about the variant's spread and the severe increase in cases there. As part of the new restrictions, only 300 Indian caregivers and students will be allowed to enter the country per month. They will be required to quarantine at coronavirus hotels designated for those coming from India, unless they have either recovered from or were vaccinated against COVID-19 in Israel.

A Health Ministry statement said that new restrictions which would forbid Israelis from traveling to countries with high infection rates (save for exceptional cases) are awaiting approval from the relevant ministries before it can be sent to government approval. Israelis returning from these countries would also need to quarantine, even if they have been vaccinated against or recovered from COVID-19. Foreign nationals from these countries would also not be allowed to enter ...

It’s a psyop.

India was first accused of having people ‘dying in the streets’. Residents of India filmed the streets and pointed out people were fine.
Then the ‘dying in the streets’ footage was revealed to be from 2 years ago during a toxic fume leak.

They want to push the psyop to panic people into thinking they need to be vaccinated or need a booster. This is false. Ask yourselves why they are lying.

Israel is being used as a prop, they were forced to vaccinate against any public interest - suddenly one day it’s required. Stats are distorted and hidden - they have rolled out China-style mandatory vax and passports in Israel.

Prayers up for all citizens fighting their own corrupt government’s actions in collaboration with China.

Singapore and Thailand, with very little previous COVID-19 are both spiking again.

Indians frequent these two countries

Israel restricts travel from India just as Biden tells Americans in India to come on home with no quarantine. Different Intents, IMHO.

So tell me again, what’s wrong with Nationalism?

Whatever you think is going on, people around the world are getting the crap scared out of them. At some point, they’re going to want to lynch the governments that aren’t protecting them and close their borders.

The borders all closed at the first release by China. I was surprised the elites retained control.

I have vaxed co-workers pressuring me to get jabbed.

Sounds like they still are worried that their shots won’t do much, so how would mine help them?

Interesting about Singapore ... I noticed the Worldometers site that posts daily cases has added a 7 day trend field - and it shows cases for the last two weekly periods; many countries are down. But they also added a column to show % increase/decrease over the last 14 days. ... Houston we have a problem ...

I knew that there had to be SOME explanation. Because ever since February 2020 we haven’t seen ANY more footage of people just dropping where they are out in public dying of the Covids.

I heard a health agency encouraging pregnant women to get vaxed saying that it could benefit their kids as well.

Even the CDC is questioning the sanity in getting pregnant women to take the shot since there are reported incidents of miscarriage.

Ruh-Roh...perhaps this 2012 study was correct in showing that SARS Coronavirus vaccines only make the test subjects more vulnerable to SARS...

Most of Israel’s adult population has been vaccinated at this point. Out of 41 new cases, only 4 were in people who were vaccinated. Sounds like people who aren’t vaccinated are catching it at a wildly higher rate. Sounds like the vaccines are doing a good job preventing most cases of it.

Would like to learn more about how the 37 unvaccinated cases progress versus the 4 cases in vaccinated people.

Really? Is that honestly what you got from this?

41 new cases, 37 in unvaccinated people and 4 in vaccinated people? And your take-away is that being vaccinated makes you more susceptible?

You don’t honestly buy that, right? You were just misreading something?

4 (vaccinated) out of 41 is 10%. Assume 150 million in US are vaccinated; 15 million of them could catch the new strain; however, during the J&J vaccine trials conducted during the peak in South Africa, none of those vaccinated that still acquired the virus required hospitalization.

So vaccines mitigate the effects of the virus

Major, definitive question: In those that were vaccinated and become “infected” with this new variant, do they become clinically ill and if so , how sick? It is one thing to have COVID-19 in your upper respiratory tract, it is an entirely different situation if once there it spreads and compromises major organs such as the lungs, heart, brain etc.

Skepticism is a normally healthy trait. But when it devolves into obstinate delusion, it becomes harmful. If vaccines protect from this or most variants, don’t be foolish or prideful. Get the vaccine while you can. BTW obstinate delusion is how liberals think.
