Israel: 80% of serious COVID cases are vaccinated
WND ^ | 02/03/2022 | Art Moore

Most of the severe COVID-19 cases at one of Israel's largest hospital complexes are people who received at least three shots, according to the director of the coronavirus ward.

The Middle East nation has one of the world's highest rates of vaccination, about 90%, with many high-risk patients having received a fourth shot.

Prof. Yaakov Jerris told Israel's Channel 13 News that "most of our severe cases are vaccinated," Israel National News reported.

"They had at least three injections. Between 70 and 80 percent of the serious cases are vaccinated," said Jerris, who works for Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, also known as Ichilov Hospital, the nation's second largest.

"So, the vaccine has no significance regarding severe illness, which is why just 20 to 25 percent of our patients are unvaccinated."

At an Israeli government cabinet meeting on Sunday, Jerris tried to clear up confusion regarding how COVID cases are reported.

"Defining a serious patient is problematic," he told the ministers. "For example, a patient with a chronic lung disease always had a low level of oxygen, but now he has a positive coronavirus test result which technically makes him a 'serious coronavirus patient.'"

That isn't accurate, he said…

More proof that infection after vaxxing is indeed “RARE”.

The trolls will be along shortly to tell us that since the most of the population is vaxxed, of course the number of severe cases are vaxxed.

Remind me again what the point of the shots was?

Imagine a 100% vaccinated country. What percent of hospitalizations will be vaccinated?

Stupid headline.

A January 13, 2022 article which breaks down the numbers of vaccinated, unvaccinated and partially vaccinated. I did a quick search so there may be a current article with up-to-date numbers.

14% of Israeli Adults Are Unvaxxed. They Account for 100% of ECMO Patients

The point of the vaccines was to prevent severe cases and hospitalizations. So why do any vaccinated Israelis have serious cases requiring hospitalization?

From the linked article above:

Overall in Israel, according to Health Ministry data, only 14 percent of Israelis over 20 are unvaccinated, yet they account for 45 percent of serious COVID cases. The numbers are even more clear when examining the use of life-saving measures such as ECMO machines and ventilators.
“Right now there are 13 very severe cases in which the patients are on ECMO machines – 100 percent of those patients are not vaccinated,” added Prof. Nadav Davidovitch, a health policy specialist at Ben-Gurion University, referring to the machines that support the heart and lungs in the worst respiratory cases.

So yeah, the headline completely misrepresented the data.

We didn't elect them. They stole an election with collusion from both halves of the Uniparty.

Great question.

The Faucists will come up with a *good* excuse why, I’m sure.

Preventing serious cases may have been the goal of the vaccines, but now the benefit is to _reduce_ severe cases and hospitalizations. But every year people die from the flu and other illnesses that are “usually” not life-threatening.

"Preventing serious cases may have been the goal of the vaccines"

Uh, no. The FIRST lie we were told about the "vaccines" was that they would prevent "COVID" infection and transmission. The moment THAT lie was exposed, they pivoted to "prevents severe illness and hospitalization." And now that lie is also being exposed.

Stop shilling for the "vaccines". Like everything about "COVID", they are a LIE.

“Most of the severe COVID-19 cases at one of Israel’s largest hospital complexes are people who received at least three shots, according to the director of the coronavirus ward.”

So if 20% of the severe cases are the unvaccinated, I think I would rather be in the unvaccinated group. The chance of getting a severe case for that group is much less based on the information in this article.

Studies show that they are 95% confident that the vaccines are 70% effective for 6 weeks against the original strain, and that 67.9% of statistics are made up on the spot.

That wasn’t the intent of the vaccine. They set out to eradicate Covid and achieve herd immunity. It was only after the vaccine proved to be not as effective as they want that the definition changed to ‘not as severe sickness and avoid hospitalizations’
