Israel will likely achieve herd immunity for coronavirus in the next month or two, top health officials said as the Delta variant continues to rage through the country.
The recent spike in infections coupled with the country’s aggressive booster campaign for the third shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine could mean “there is a good chance that in the next month or two, we’ll reach a situation that is very similar to herd immunity,” officials were quoted as saying, according to a report by Kan public broadcaster this week.

Or.. until a new variant is declared.
BS. Covid will mutate and circle the globe forever.
Has Israel reached herd immunity with the common cold?
The flu?
That’s what I thought...
I dunno...has Israel met the MU variant yet. lol
Get vaxxed now—it will help the virus spread so fast we will get herd immunity.
;-)
Exactly! It takes repeated boosters to knock off healthy g’mas and g’pas over 70
Yep. I truly believe the variants are a convenient way for the powers that be to explain away why the vaccines aren't working, or not working as advertised. Oh, the variants may be real, alright, but the vaccines have been nearly worthless since day one.
Neither is as deadly as they probably were at one time. That will happen with covid too.
Typically true. Occasionally you get a 1918 flu strain.
More of a black swan than a norm.
Immunity is not the same as vaccination and vaccination does not always confer immunity. Further, it would seem that the vaccines decrease the body’s natural immunity process and can arguably make the situation worse.
So I disagree with this health official. First, “herd immunity” does not provide any immunity and second, the current Covid vaccines will not get the population to “herd immunity”.
BS. Covid will mutate and circle the globe forever.

I’m afraid you don’t understand the concept of herd immunity. It doesn’t mean the virus dies off and nobody ever gets it again.It just means that when a certain portion of the population has aquired the anti bodies that it it’s harder and harder to spread the virus so therefore fwer and fwer people get it.
The 1918 Flu pandemic didn't last this long. We're two years into a pandemic but no herd immunity yet? That points to the Jim Jones Jabs causing variant strains. As Israel is preparing for a FOURTH shot, they're going to keep creating new strains.
“Food me?” Desperately need another cup!
Agreed. The "variants" serve at least three related purposes.
One, as you point out, they are the scapegoat, an excuse as to why the vaccines aren't 95% effective as initially claimed.
Two, they are an ongoing excuse for boosters - a cash cow gift to pharmaceutical companies for playing ball with the political powers.
Three, the threat of the latest vaccine-evading variant will be used to continue the "temporary" but "necessary" un-Constitutional power grabs and continued fascist stomping on freedoms and liberties. They will be the foot in the door to restrict travel, work, business. The worst parts of the old Soviet Union and Nazi regimes? We're marching right towards them.
At some point your body will reject all of the vaccine pushed into it and will react.
I received the maximum # of shots allowable for hepatitis(vax wouldn’t take)(work requirement) After the final dose, I got psoriasis and have been suffering from it for almost 15 years. Gonna hate to see what happens after 3,4,5 doses of this vax.
