Data: Most in new surge of Israel\u2019s Covid cases were vaccinated<\/strong><\/h1>\n

By World Tribune<\/p>\n

The vast majority of new serious cases of Covid in Israel are vaccinated individuals, author and independent journalist Alex Berenson noted.<\/p>\n

\"\"Serious cases of the virus \u201chave risen 10-fold since the beginning of July \u2014 from roughly five a day to about 40 over the last week,\u201d Berenson said in an\u00a0Aug. 3 report<\/a>. \u201cThe overall number of patients has soared too \u2014 from 30 to more than 200.\u201d<\/p>\n

Israel and the UK \u201care much better at providing data than the United States \u2014 they provide updates every day, which limits their opportunities to manipulate it,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

That data shows that, throughout July, most new Covid patients at hospitals were vaccinated.<\/p>\n

The trend among serious illness in older vaccinated people \u201cis terrible,\u201d Berenson noted. \u201cThe rate of cases has risen 12-fold IN A MONTH. On July 4, fewer than 1 older vaccinated person in 100,000 became seriously ill. Today the rate is 10 in 100,000.\u201d<\/p>\n

Berenson continued: \u201cIt is worth noting that rates of serious illness among the vaccinated are now as high as they were among the unvaccinated only TWO WEEKS AGO. Perhaps that\u2019s why the Israeli government is now predicting a further quadrupling of new serious cases by the end of August.\u201d<\/p>\n

A quadrupling would represent 800 serious cases. That would approaching the peak of the winter surge, which Berenson noted was \u201cprobably fueled by a spike in cases following the first vaccine dose.\u201d<\/p>\n

Israel can\u2019t blame the unvaccinated for the surge in new cases, Berenson noted, as around 85 percent of adults over 30 are fully vaccinated, well above the range experts said would provide herd immunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd yet instead of pulling back and at least considering a pause on vaccinations as it digests the disaster of the last month, Israel is going the other way \u2014 pushing a third dose on the elderly,\u201d Berenson wrote. \u201cMeanwhile the cry to mandate or quasi-mandate vaccinations in the United States is only getting louder.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
