Israelis rush to get boosters in mass campaign for 3rd COVID-19 shots

Vaccine protection found to wane in Israel after 5 or 6 months, especially among seniors

Israel's fierce fourth wave of COVID-19 cases may be in retreat, but the country is on the offensive against the coronavirus once again โ€” with an unprecedented round of vaccine boosters for everyone older than 12.

As of this week, millions of Israelis who were considered fully vaccinated with two shots lose that status unless they get one more. Their "green pass" will hit a red light, once again denying them access to public places like restaurants, gyms and movie theatres.

"I think it's an aggressive decision to be making," said Jamie Blumenthal, who was taking his daughter to a public pool in Jerusalem. He has a new green pass.

"Vaccines are good, but the question is, do we need to keep on inoculating ourselves over and over and over again if we have what we need in our system?" Blumenthal told a freelance CBC crew.

Israeli experts say they don't know about future boosters, but they are confident about this one.

"We were brave enough going with the third dose because we had data for Israel and we were sure this was the right thing to do," said Dr. Itamar Grotto, a former associate director general of the national Health Ministry and an expert in viral diseases at Ben Gurion University.

"It's also good for the young people," he said in an interview with CBC, "because we saw a lot of young people getting the disease after two doses."....

Pfizer mRNA vaccines don't work... Figure it out. Booster shots are not the answer... Vector vaccines are.

Same logic as the business owner who decides he will increase revenue from zero margin products with sales volume...

People die every year from the flu, but we don't panic over it.

At this point, Covid is no worse than the common flu. Yet people have this bizarre idea that until Covid deaths are reduced to zero, we are in a crisis that requires extreme measures.

Forget mass hysteria, this is global hysteria.

Peter McCullough, MD, MPH, says this is an "UNBELIEVEBLE ATROCITY"

He makes the case very clearly that the mRNA vaccines are much more dangerous and unsafe than the actual Covid-19 disease.

This is a very powerful hour long video, well worth your time to view.
