Israel: Immunity waning in addition to increased infectivity of the Delta variant/ Haaretz

Israel's leaders sold the country to Pfizer, giving the company the medical records of everyone in Israel.  Now Israel will be the first country to test booster doses, generating data so the rest of the world can follow.  Is the information coming out of Israel accurate?  Who knows?

Israelis have found “evidence that there is waning immunity” in COVID-19 vaccine, Israeli health official Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis says. “We see a drop in the vaccine effectiveness for those vaccinated early on, and we see it for those elderly people over the age of 60.”

She added that 50 percent of the current infections are vaccinated individuals. "Previously we thought that fully vaccinated individuals are protected, but we now see that vaccine effectiveness is roughly 40 percent." She noted that while effectiveness remains high for severe disease, Israel is seeing diminished protection, particularly for those who have been vaccinated longer...

"We compare people — both over the age of 60 but also between 16 and 59 — who were immunized early on and fully vaccinated by the end of January. We see infection rates among them that is 90 per 100,000, which is double of those who are fully vaccinated by March," she said, adding that "we see a drop in the vaccine effectiveness against disease for those who have been vaccinated early on, and we see it for both elderly people over the age of 60 but also for the younger."

..."We saw that 80 percent of vaccinated individuals who have become confirmed cases themselves had zero contact with confirmed cases, while 10 percent had one contact of confirmed cases," she said.  [This is called community spread, and when you cannot identify where the virus was picked up, and you refuse to treat contacts with effective post-exposure drugs, then Track and Trace is simply an expensive, bad joke.

But maybe not a joke for the surveillance agencies...--Nass]

Israel reports 40% Vaccine Effectiveness Rate

[["Previously we thought that fully vaccinated individuals are protected, but we now see that vaccine effectiveness is roughly 40 percent." ]]

Until March 2020, it was widely accepted: that 40% VE was "OK" for the CDC -- even as they for decades claimed they wanted at least 90%.

When the drug pushers claimed with zero evidence in November, in concordance with the EUAs for Moderna and Pfizer, they were claiming the impossible, at least, what has always been impossible: any VE better than 50% for influenza vax'.

It was ON PURPOSE the medical charlatans in charge of this criminal operation pretended not to know the obvious about VE.

If nothing else comes from this calamity, there should be a final nail driven in the hearts of all the DOGMA pushing vaccine fanatics, that push them, irrespective of their safety and of their effectiveness. This is a medical industry based on vaccine dogma; not on vaccine science.

And the vaccine dogmatists themselves also used to tell us VE failure "is not a new phenomena."

These false expectations of 90% and higher for covid shots --- the "experts" all knew all along this was myth, a fairy tale -- their science fiction posing as scientific knowledge. . . and the false expectations they created obviously totally inappropriate: and now they are stuck in their own contradictions, when in fact this need not have happened at all.

This CDC graph shows last 11 years of VE: 43% average VE, for influenza.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/vaccines-work/effectiveness-studies.htm

And depending on the type of flu -- it was completely worthless during 2018/2019 flu season for those aged 9 - 49 years old: EV = 3%, for H3N2, that season.

And those 50-64: zero VE.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/vaccines-work/2018-2019.html

Were we still operating as a society on some basis of rationality, the 40% VE Israel is now reporting would have been considered normal, [unacceptable, yes; normal, also yes]

"In 2018, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases announced a strategic plan to develop a universal influenza vaccine"

See paragraph 5 of the below, written by a pair of Vaccine Dogmatists/Fanatics, discussing 2019 vaccine H3N2 failure.

Also, "Increased illness due to" "decreased VE"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31665373/

Googling "Vaccine Effectiveness" and covid VE, you won't find anything, in US, on this essential matter -- though our dear Walensky is 'weighing in':

“The largest concern that I think we in public health and sciences are worried about is that virus and potential mutations. . . the potential to evade our vaccine in terms of how it protects us from severe disease and death,” Walensky said last week.

“Right now, fortunately, we are not there. These vaccines operate really well in protecting us from severe disease and death. But the big concern is the next area that might emerge, just a few mutations potentially away, could potentially evade our vaccines.”

To sum up, what they are trying to obscure is that the overall VE for covid shots may end up being as bad as the 2018/2019 influenza season.

Overall VE is how the CDC has always reported VE; and they would also break that down to subset by the different influenza strains and clades as need be.

"Delta" is part of the "novel" corona subset. We'll see what the data says --- someday.

They can escape this particular VE mistake, as it were.

They cannot escape the calamity of tens of thousands of after covid vax deaths.

For this they have no answer. For this some may eventually end up behind bars.

And these fools could also have prevented this great and unconscionable catastrophe of death and injury of who knows how many, and the permanent sterilization of women the world over, and in this country.
