Health officials weighing whether to wait for 3rd vaccine dose tailored to Delta

Sharon Alroy-Preis says pandemic is still here: "We need to learn to live with it"; health and education ministries to present dueling proposals for new school year on Sunday

Public health chief Sharon Alroy-Preis said on Saturday that officials were debating whether to offer a third booster shot to Israelis, or to wait for a vaccine that is specifically tailored for the Delta variant of the coronavirus.

"We are checking if we should give a third dose, or whether we should wait for a vaccine against Delta," the head of public health at the Health Ministry told Channel 12.

The comment came after a health ministry committee on vaccines reportedkly voted on Thursday against recommending third booster shot for the elderly, saying it would be more effective to wait for a vaccine specifically targeting the Delta variant that is being developed by Pfizer.

According to the report by the Kan public broadcaster, the committee members said that even though the effectiveness of the vaccine appears to be wearing off, it would be more effective to wait for a booster shot tailored for the strain. The final decision will now go to Health Ministry director-general Nachman Ash.

Last week, Israel began administering booster doses to those with weakened immune systems, including heart, kidney transplant patients, despite the lack of approval from overseas regulatory agencies...

Monthly, according to the head of the Covid program based in London.

There are at least 4 different new flu viruses each year, and the flu vaccine that millions receive is only about 50% effective. Are we going to see multiple Covid ‘vaccines’ (aka experimental gene manipulations) every year from now on? Will millions of people be lining up every few weeks to get another in a never-ending series of jabs? Will the immune systems of hundreds of millions of people be damaged beyond repair in this insane effort to eradicate a virus that will be with us for another 10,000 years at least.

Why is the world going collectively insane?? Why are we putting up with this madness? Will humanity become extinct through stupidity?

Israel has been at the forefront of the pandemic. They were hit hard by the disease late last year. Then they were the first country to roll out a mass vaccination campaign right after the Pfizer-BioNTECH vaccine was authorized.

It’s worthwhile to keep up with the latest developments over their.

How many asymptomatic people who tested positive by using a very high number of amplification cycles with their PCR test had their lives disrupted but never actually had COVID-19? Antibody tests would tell us a lot about this.

Our government has been so dishonest about the data that they have released or held secret. Or maybe not even kept. Sounds more like politics than science

Everyone under the age of 30 should be holding Covid parties.

A special, tailored dose for Delta?

Perhaps a bridge too far.

Just because the globalist depopulation oligarchs want to foist an experimental “vaccine” upon every human being on the planet to combat a weaponized virus the creation of which they funded does NOT mean anything nefarious is afoot.™ 🤡

Don’t forget, the CCP stole all the DNA data the Israelis accumulated during the vaccine development partnership they had. Israel finally kicked them out but the theft was done. Now think about the CCP’s race specific virus research.
There’s a lot more going on than just immunity concerns.

The latest;

Israel now has 108 patients severely ill, five times as many as a month ago. 71% are fully vaccinated, a proportion that keeps rising. And remember the percentage of vaccinated elderly is closer to 90% than 100%. Getting hard to square these numbers with even moderate protection. pic.twitter.com/BUIpzNl43w— Alex Berenson (@AlexBerenson) July 26, 2021
