Israel is leading the world in the Covid vaccine roll out.
Israel was hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic – it reported over 831,000 infections. But in just a few months, after launching a mass vaccination campaign, life is “back to normal”.
As of March 15, according to the World Health Organisation, 9.7 million vaccine doses had been administered in Israel. A total of 5.18m people, which is over half the population, have received at least one dose. A “green pass” has since been introduced allowing vaccinated people exclusive access to gyms, hotels and theatres and concerts.

In February nasal swabs showed up to four times less viral load in vaccinated people, making it less likely for them to transmit the disease.
The theory is that vaccination will curtail the spread of the disease, making communities safer.
Israel agreed to give Pfizer anonymised data on vaccine recipients to analyse the efficacy of the vaccine in the real world.
“[Israel’s] largest healthcare provider Clalit, found a 94 percent drop in symptomatic Covid-19 infections among 600,000 people who received two doses of the Pfizer vaccine. Researchers also found the fully inoculated group was 92 percent less likely to develop severe illness from the virus.”

Restricting the spread of COVID is exactly what health experts, governments and would-be travellers want.
However, in their unseemly haste to flatten the curve, the experts, government and media usually neglect to mention the experimental nature of COVID vaccines.
The Pfizer vaccine tests end in 2023 and vaccine supplied here is under “emergency use” provisions because of ongoing testing.
Pfizer and BioNTech were indemnified by a waiver granted by Grant Robertson on 5 October 2020 and which he notified to the House on 22 November 2020.
In February the Bloomberg Covid vaccination tracker showed 84% of Israelis aged 70 and older had received two doses and severe Covid cases and deaths were rapidly declining.
Traditionally, vaccines are tested over a number of years, some up to a decade, but the pandemic created panic allowing a short cut in the testing process.
It is too early to know whether the claim that the COVID vaccine amplifies the infection, rather than preventing damage, is true.
If COVID antibodies created by the vaccine caused a more severe or lethal disease when the person is later exposed to COVID in the wild, we would see severe illness and deaths following vaccination. At this point there is no evidence of it.
Some Israelis are unhappy about the country’s green passport system allowing only those who have taken the COVID-19 vaccine or developed immunity to engage in commerce and leave their homes.
These Jews remember the holocaust where Nazi doctors performed medical experiments on concentration camp prisoners. They claim the green passport is a violation of the Nuremberg Code established to prevent future mandatory medical experiments.

Radiant Israel founder Gilad Rosinger released a video on the Radiant Israel Facebook page decrying the actions taken by the Israeli government to pressure people to take the COVID-19 vaccine, and only allow those who have taken it to participate in society.
“What happened that we have strayed so far into a delirious state of total insanity? Where people are actually cheering on this demonic, wicked agenda? My grandfather was the only survivor out of his whole family of the Holocaust, and this is exactly how it started: With discrimination, with essential and nonessential businesses, with people saying that Jews were second class citizens, said Rosinger.”
