COVID Infections in Israel Spike by 50 Percent

COVID Infections in Israel Spike by 50 Percent

Forty-two percent of Israelis who caught COVID on Monday were vaccinated, spurring concerns over the efficacy of the vaccine against the highly contagious delta variant

The Health Ministry reported 501 new coronavirus cases in Israel on Monday, a 50 percent increase from the previous day. The figure is the highest since March 30, when 571 tested positive for the virus

Out of the new infections on Monday, 42 percent had been vaccinated against the virus. This comes amid concern over the rapid spread of the highly contagious delta variant, which is now responsible for more than 90 percent of Israel’s cases, according to tests of the virus’ genome among confirmed cases.

The percentage of tests that turned out positive also rose from 0.7 percent on Sunday to 0.97 percent on Monday.

Of the new infections, 31 recently returned from abroad and the rest were infected via community transmission. The R number, the average number of secondary infections from a single person, currently stands at 1.43.

Seventy-four patients are hospitalized, 43 percent of whom were fully vaccinated. Five were added on Monday, including three who were vaccinated.

Even if they’re getting it, they should be building up anti-bodies...and life goes on as usual. Look at hospitalizations and deaths....and percentages.

What’s the death rate doing. That’s the stat that matters. And I don’t mean died “with” Rona. I mean died “of” Rona.

It’s not a vaccine.

Wow…the Israelis seem pretty concerned? I thought everyone got the Pfizer jab?

The poison that people are being injected with, labeled a vaccine, does not prevent contracting COVID and does not prevent transmitting COVID.

It does, however, cause the bodies of the people injected with it to generate the deadly spike proteins.

That will cause horrifying health damage for decades.

No, Israelis are not concerned:

Do you think the Israeli media is just trying to scare people? It just seems odd to me since Israel is the most vaccinated place on the planet. What are the media trying to scare them in to?

Seems to me that the unspoken “plan” here is an expectation that covid is unstoppable, meaning, health officials think sooner or later everyone is going to catch it. So the vaccines which don’t seem to prevent infection or spread but do seem to reduce severity of illness, is really more like a
pre-disease treatment.

There are a few scientists who think vaccination of this type was or is likely to foster the spread of vaccine immune variants but I am in no qualified position to discuss it in detail.

Still makes me wonder why they didn’t and haven’t done real significant agency sponsored studies on actual post-infection treatment options be that HCQ+ or Ivermectin+ etc. There is no logical reason to have avoided such studies and the cost to do so, relative to the cost of Warp Speed spending, would be negligible.

"What are the media trying to scare them in to?"

Probably buying more media output. When the main story is "Things are looking pretty good here", people lose interest quickly. If it bleeds, it leads.

And spike protein antibodies. Thanks for confirming that it is a vaccine.

Yeah, that and carbon dioxide.

The media might be for foreign consumption. Either way, it's what the media always does, exaggerate and alarm to sell more soap powder.

Exactly.

Good luck getting through the thick planks of the VPs.

Why, or how anyone could push these shots, after seeing/reading about the NUMEROUS adverse effects and deaths, is beyond me.

Other, REAL vaccines and drugs were quickly pulled off of market for far FEWER reactions/deaths.

As far as public policy is concerned, Fauci says antibodies are irrelevant. What matters more is how many breakthrough infections occur in the vaccinated. That will be the signal for booster shot. And yes too much of anything, especially medicine/drug related. Is never good. Be kind to your immune system. It’s one thing to have a vaccine once, it’s another for a “booster” to be mandated in less than a year.

Yes, the Delta Variant is contagious, and currently available vaccines were not thoroughly tested against it ( that Variant did not exist in January ), but Johnson and Johnson’s claim that their vaccine is effective against the Delta variant...

The next obvious question is this.... how LETHAL is it compared to the original Covid-19? Are the new cases mostly severe or asymptomatic and mild? How many deaths in Israel from this Delta variant so far?

It’s important to get the answers to these questions because as the USA opens up, the Delta variant will be the DOMINANT one soon.
