Israeli vaccine chief: “We have made mistakes”
Unherd ^ | Tuesday, 18 January 2022 | UNHERD STAFF

Posted on 01/18/2022 12:03:19 PM PST by conservative98

Professor Cyrille Cohen is head of Immunology at Bar Ilan University and a member of the advisory committee for vaccines for the Israeli Government. In a wide-ranging and forthright interview, the Professor tells Freddie Sayers:

* The Green Pass / vaccine passport concept is no longer relevant in the Omicron era and should be phased out (he expects it to be in short order in Israel)

* He and his colleagues were surprised and disappointed that the vaccines did not prevent transmission, as they had originally hoped

* The biggest mistake of the pandemic in Israel was closing schools and education – he apologised for that

* Widespread infection is now an inevitable part of future immunity — otherwise known as herd immunity

*Omicron has accelerated the pandemic into the endemic phase, in which Covid will be “like flu”

KEY QUOTES

Especially with Omicron, where we don’t see virtually any difference, there is a very narrow gap between people vaccinated and non-vaccinated, both can get infected with a virus, more or less at the same pace. - CYRILLE COHEN, UNHERDTV

She’s a cultist. Their Virtue is Fear and their Sacrament is the Jab.
Inoculating her little girl was a Crime against Humanity.

Tell that to the maimed (and presumably) the dead.

I saw a pist from another doctor calling for a sort of reconciliation.
The phrase "mistakes were made" doesn't cut it in this case.

These people know, and I think they are getting scared.

At least he admits his mistakes unlike Fauci.

Do you think our vaccine chief will ever admit to making mistakes?

In the end we will admit that we should have just let the bug burn through freely.

1. Never thought I'd see the day when Israel became a Nazi country.

2. They can start redeeming themselves by having all the government officials involved in this fiasco blow their collective brains out -- and livestream it.

"Apparently it is what I thought it was from the beginning"

Denny Greene agrees....

I think the Neuremberg II punishments will be more like firing squads, which is what I agree with too.

He’s still hoping for more variants and thinks we’re still in the first wave with 4 more waves to go.

I believe that the physics and biology support that a Social Distancing of 264 ft. [1/20 mi.] is well into the Safe Zone.

6 ft.? Not so much....

Looks like the fear-COVID has about exceeded its political usefulness.

May be close to time to move on to the next crisis. It probably won’t be another pandemic — too soon.

Dems need this fiasco over going into the mid-terms.

What are they going to do about VAIDs?
If Israel does indeed reverse course, we are going to see some truth and hopefully justice.
I think the world will blame the US via CDC, FDA, vaccine makers and Dr Mengele Jr.

Executions aren’t out of the realm of a reasonable punishment for those responsible and for those who profited

here come the weasel excuses (follow this template for every country) -

"Sure we made mistakes, but it was only done in the name of Public Health with the best intentions, so we won't be punishing anyone"

Some of us with or without letters realized much of that especially regarding transmissibility, since that was in the vaccine manufacturers’ original submission documents. Therefore the FDA was aware as well.

Maybe the US should take this right square in the nuts. FDA, CDC, and most other alphabets ignored Fauci and his methods for 30+ years. Time to pay the piper??
