Back And Fourth [Updated]

A Rabbi gets vaccinated in Tel Aviv, Israel last year

Last night/this morning.

Via Washington Post:

In what it’s calling a global first, Israel’s Health Ministry announced that it will offer a fourth coronavirus vaccine shot to citizens 60 and older and other at-risk groups as concerns about the omicron variant proliferate.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said he ordered the government to immediately prepare for distributing fourth doses.

“As we did with the booster in the delta surge, we intend to be active and groundbreaking, and do everything to win,” he tweeted. “The world will follow us.”

Meanwhile….

German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach has said that a fourth vaccination will be necessary in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic due to the more contagious Omicron variant.

He said that Germany has ordered 80 million doses of a vaccine made by Biontech specifically targeting Omicron and should arrive in April or May.

Germany has also ordered four million doses of the newly approved vaccine Novavax – seen as more acceptable to vaccine sceptics – and 11 million doses of the new Valneva shot, which is waiting for marketing authorisation, Mr Lauterbach said.

Meanwhile…

Chief Medical officer Dr Tony Holohan said there is “a substantial job to do” to issue a third vaccine to those over 40 who are at risk of severe infection and he asked them to come forward.

He said that “vaccines really work, particularly when boosted, in preventing infection from becoming severe infection and we expect that to be the case with Omicron”.

“Don’t put off the opportunity to be vaccinated if it comes your way,” he added.

    Very sinister if you think vaccines are evil. Equal parts heartening – governments pulling out the stops to protect people – and disheartening – oh God not another one – for everyone else.

      I’m double vaxxed and don’t think vaccines are evil but its still fairly sinister to me that people are likely going to be forced into a 4th vaccine (and 5th? 6th? 7th?) if they want to keep their vaccine pass, ie live normal life. Particularly for healthy people under 40 who are statistically at no real risk from the virus itself.

      When/where does it end?

      1. Nigel

        I don’t see how it’s sinster? I expect it ends when most people’s antibody count remains high? Or turns into something analogous to the flu with a new vaccine every year depending on the current variant?

    …A Health Ministry expert panel – whose findings have yet to be implemented ….

    ….. To go into effect, the recommendations must be approved by the Health Ministry director-general, Nachman Ash. The ministry did not say when that might happen…..

    What happens to those who fall behind or are late starting on this Pharma merry go round?

    Do they have to sit and wait until they are up to the ever changing number before they can get their freedoms (temporarily) back?

        Vaccine Passports have little to do with CoVid-19, especially as in the main it appears to be the vaccinated infecting other vaccinated.

        1. Nigel

          Vaccine passports have literally everything to do with covid-19. If it’s vaccinated infecting other vaccinated, then they’re working, because everything about infection, spread, severity and mortality are reduced for the vaccinated, but not the unvaccinated, so if the vaccinated aren’t catching or spreading it – which I’m not sure is actually true but taking your claim at face value – it means the restrictons are protecting them.

          1. SOQ

            If it’s vaccinated infecting other vaccinated, then they’re working,

            Enough said.

            NIgel if you spin around any faster, you will disappear up your own backside.

        It’s you. Doing your impression of an anti-zionist. Have you an anti- unionist one to go along with it ? Usually fools some people.

    Think ill pass on the boosters and wait to see what number they stop on, are we just expected to get jabbed every 3 months, seems a bit nuts to me?

  5. Termagant

    We’ll have more vaccine than blood in our veins at this rate.
    Who is it telling us we need more vaccine? Is it the people selling us the vaccine? They have that sewn up with a nice little bow.

    1. Nigel

      It depends how all encompassing and overwhelming the power of Big Pharma is. If it extends its tendrils into every single scientific and medical establishment studying the virus and people’s immune responses and every single media outlet in the world, then yes, a nice little bow. If you reckon there still remains some level of independence and integrity in science and medicine, then not so much. I mean, there’s iterally half the rest of the world they could be selling ther existing vaccines into rather than bothering making new ones, if it’s a question of profits.

      1. SOQ

        Yes there is some level of independence and integrity in science and many experts have been banned or censored because it.

        At the moment there is a video called ‘SCIENTISTS AND DOCTORS with a critical view on the corona crisis’ on Telegram which has been banned by YT. It is a who’s who of expert opinions and hopefully it will surface on an alternative platform soon

        https://t.me/PeterMcCullough/166 for anyone on Telegram who is interested.

          Are they the ones doing the studies of antibody levels in people who receive vaccines to determine how long they’re effective, and in how effective current vaccines are in relation to variants? if not, meh.

    pharmaceutical companies won’t even be working on a “one fix” vaccine anymore.. not if they can keep reselling the same dogpoo ones over n over n over ad infinity.

    yeah wow,just look at Israel.

    in other news the FDA approved Paxlovid,the first but not last antiviral pill.

    “Today’s authorization introduces the first treatment for COVID-19 that is in the form of a pill that is taken orally — a major step forward in the fight against this global pandemic,” said Dr. Patrizia Cavazzoni, director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “This authorization provides a new tool to combat COVID-19 at a crucial time in the pandemic as new variants emerge and promises to make antiviral treatment more accessible to patients who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19.”
