Prime Minister Naftali Bennett spoke at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting in Jerusalem. He said that despite rolling out more than 4.2 million coronavirus booster shots to the country’s population of 9.3 million since July, “the storm is coming to us these very days.”

Daily cases in Israel have risen in the past two weeks from around 700 to the more than 4,000 reported on Sunday.

“These are numbers that the world has not known, and that we also haven’t known,” Bennett said.

He said that the government’s aim is “to allow the economy to function as much as possible, while protecting the most vulnerable among us.”

Israel has recorded at least 8,244 deaths from coronavirus since the start of the pandemic.

Obviously the vaccine is a resounding success. Let’s all take more!!
This is so utterly ridiculous
Israel seems to have been the poster child of covid cautious
They locked down, shut down, brutalized the population into masking and lockdowns and then later into multiple vaccines. And they’re no better off than anywhere else, possibly worse off it appears
But by all means, let’s continue to push all these authoritarian and useless strategies that destroyed lives and livelihoods
Because it might work this time

It’s time for them to shift their focus from a vaccine that is ineffective in containing the spread, to something that actually works.

Rumor has it, and I’m not kidding around, it’s those that are vaccinated that are mostly contracting the virus.

Please government, force on us at least 50 booster shots, less than that is simply insufficient.

The reason ‘the powers that be’ are getting away with reporting that it is mostly the ‘unvaccinated’ that are succumbing to the variant, is because they’ve categorized both those who took the c19 shot less than 14 days ago AND those who took it awhile back as no longer ‘vaccinated’. However, the injected viruses (and other toxic materials) are within their systems, continuing to create long-term havoc with their health and weaken their innate immunity.
