Vaccine has "no significance regarding severe illness," says Prof. Yaakov Jerris.
Are Israeli hospitals really overloaded with unvaccinated COVID patients? According to Prof. Yaakov Jerris, director of Ichilov Hospital’s coronavirus ward, the situation is completely opposite.
“Right now, most of our severe cases are vaccinated,” Jerris told Channel 13 News. “They had at least three injections. Between seventy and eighty percent of the serious cases are vaccinated. So, the vaccine has no significance regarding severe illness, which is why just twenty to twenty-five percent of our patients are unvaccinated.”
Jerris also revealed some of the confusion in reporting cases. Speaking at a cabinet meeting on Sunday, he told ministers, “Defining a serious patient is problematic. 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,’ but that’s not accurate. The patient is only in a difficult condition because he has a serious underlying illness.”
New to this thread, but do people really spend the time looking for any report out of any country about this stuff. Billions of doses given worldwide, deaths are down in relation to number of cases, yet people spend hours looking for one article to put doubt on it. IT's odd how you people waste your life on this stuff.
To contribute to this thread....please provide which vaccine(s) these Israeli's are using. What if they're primarily using one source (like a russian created one) and it's not effective against omicron. Yet the countries using Pfizer are showing 99% reduction of deaths and 96% reduction of hospitalizations for vaccinated. Somehow one doctor, in one hospital proves to you the rest of the world should just stop getting vaccinated and move on. Pathetic. Please let me sell you some magic vitamins to protect you against COVID....you seem like a good sucker.
Israel is 100% mRNA vaccines Pfizer and Moderna (although they just approved Novavax). They didn't even use the Oxford or Janssen vaccines that have the higher failure rates. If anything, Israel has superior vaccines to the rest of the world.
