Covid Surge in Vaccinated Israel By Brian Simpson
Israel has been ahead of the curve in Covid vaccinations, and thus was one of the first countries to open up. Now, unfortunately, masks have returned, as well as the need to show proof of vaccination. The mainstream media is saying that the recent surge in Covid cases is due to the Delta variant, and the unvaccinated. But, around 80 percent of the adult population is vaccinated, so it is unlikely that the surge is due to effects from the unvaccinated. But, we will see, as it is likely that most people in Israel will soon be vaccinated.
In the material below, this is discussed, and Dr Mercola in the final extract takes apart the modern notion of the present Covid surges across the world as being due to the unvaccinated who dwell with the blessed vaccinated. The numbers of vaccinated getting infected is much too high for this, and vaccines were supposed to prevent this situation from arising in the first place.

“After becoming one of the first countries to open up thanks to a widespread Covid-19 vaccination campaign, Israel is again on guard, this time against the spread of the Delta variant of the coronavirus.
Mask mandates are back, including requirements to mask up for large outdoor gatherings. Many venues require people to show proof of vaccination, a negative Covid-19 test or proof of recovery from the virus. People returning from most countries have to quarantine for at least a week, even if they are fully vaccinated. Over-60s are being offered a third, booster shot of Pfizer Inc.’s vaccine, and the government is planning to offer it to younger recipients with the hopes it can suppress the rise of cases of severe illness.
Health officials are warning that Israel could face a fourth lockdown during the Jewish holiday season in September if the country doesn’t deliver more booster shots and improve on its wider vaccination rate; 60% of the total population are fully vaccinated, making up around 80% of adults.
A little over a month ago, day-to-day life in Israel was quickly getting back to normal. People were dining indoors or attending concerts without needing the so-called green pass, a digital certificate stored on phones to show the holder is fully vaccinated. But the more contagious Delta variant is forcing a change in tack, in a test case for what could happen elsewhere, including countries with high vaccination rates.
“That window when we weren’t concerned about things was so brief,” said Rena Magun, 61 years old, who co-runs a tourism and Jewish events-planning business with her husband in Jerusalem.
Ms. Magun said when she sent an invite to her friends for a meal last week she was careful to emphasize it would take place outside on the porch.
Her business has been badly damaged as families hoping to celebrate bar or bat mitzvahs with their children in Israel have been forced to reschedule the trips up to four times already since March 2020.
“It’s absolutely devastating,” Ms. Magun said.
She said she had decided to get the third Pfizer shot once she was sure it was safe. “I’m gonna get that booster so I can go back to feeling like Superman,” she recalled telling herself.”
“Israel is one of the most vaccinated countries in the world. In fact, over 90% of its citizens have the COVID shot. There’s just one problem; the COVID vaccine doesn’t work.
Thousands of Israelis are very sick again and the disease has been spreading wildly. The country blames the unvaccinated, but the vaccinated are getting sick at an even higher rate and also spreading the disease.
Now, the country is facing another lockdown if things don’t change soon.
Another Lockdown in Israel?
Yes, it’s a serious possibility in the very near future. There is projected to be a need for 5,000 hospital spaces in the next few months; Israel only has about 2,500 available for COVID patients.
The numbers at this time are about 3,500 COVID cases recorded per day in Israel and 350 people in the hospital in grave condition who could die. Around half of them are vaccinated.
Another lockdown is far from a remote idea and at this point, it just seems like a matter of when. If the vaccine works to stop people getting COVID, then why are so many vaccinated people in serious condition in hospital with COVID?
Israel Cracks Down on People’s Liberties
Due to the uptick in COVID cases, Israel is now requiring masks for most public meetings; they’re also reinstating remote work, limiting travel in the country, and giving people who are 50 and older an additional shot of the vaccine.
It’s not actually known at this time if the booster shot will help, but considering the initial vaccine basically didn’t work, there is good reason to be skeptical.
Meanwhile, Israel is trying to get new nurses through training, open more spaces in hospitals, and figure out how to deal with the delta variant which often bypasses the vaccine.
The Bottom Line
The bottom line is that Israel did everything it was supposed to do, according to our globalist overlords and the WHO. It locked down, vaccinated almost everyone, took masks seriously, and told people to work from home.
The result was a big decline in cases, but now they’re all surging back and the situation looks like a complete disaster. What was the point if the virus is just going to make a huge comeback every year?
Furthermore, what about mutations of COVID that could emerge as the virus tries to get around the immunity of vaccines? We’ve seen delta, but much worse mutations are apparently on the horizon including lambda variant.
In addition, doctors have warned of a possible future super strain which would kill about 30% of people who get it. This would be a nightmare scenario.
It’s totally unclear how more lockdowns and obedience to the same globalists who got us in this mess will fix it. Time to get creative with new ideas, not return to stale – and failed – policies.”
“According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the White House and most mainstream media, what we have now is a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
According to the official narrative, 99% of COVID-19 deaths and 95% of COVID-related hospitalizations are occurring among the unvaccinated. In a July 16, 2021, White House press briefing, CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky claimed “over 97% of people who are entering the hospital right now are unvaccinated.”
But as reported by Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham on “The Ingraham Angle,” “that statistic is grossly misleading,” and in an August 5, 2021, video statement, Walensky inadvertently revealed how that 95% to 99% statistic was created.
Grossly Misleading Data Manipulation
As it turns out, to achieve those statistics, the CDC included hospitalization and mortality data from January through June 2021. It does not include more recent data or data related to the Delta variant, which is now the most prevalent strain in circulation. The problem is, the vast majority of the United States population was unvaccinated during that timeframe.
January 1, 2021, only 0.5% of the U.S. population had received a COVID shot. By mid-April, an estimated 31% had received one or more shots, and as of June 15, 48.7% were fully “vaccinated.” Keep in mind that you’re not “fully vaccinated” until two weeks after your second dose (in the case of Pfizer or Moderna), which is given six weeks after your first shot. This is according to the CDC.
So, those receiving an initial dose in June, for example, won’t be “fully vaccinated” until eight weeks later, sometime in July or August.
By using statistics from a time period when the U.S. as a whole was largely unvaccinated, the CDC is now claiming we’re in a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” in an effort to demonize those who still have not agreed to receive this experimental gene modification injection.
Selective Pressure Promotes Emergence of New Variants
Here’s what Canadian viral immunologist and vaccine researcher Dr. Byram Bridle told Ingraham about the claim that we’re in a pandemic of the unvaxxed, and that the unvaccinated are hotbeds for dangerous variants:
“Absolutely, it’s untrue to be calling this a pandemic of the unvaccinated. And it’s certainly untrue … that the unvaccinated are somehow driving the emergence of the novel variants. This goes against every scientific principle that we understand.
The reality is, the nature of the vaccines we are using right now, and the way we’re rolling them out, are going to be applying selective pressure to this virus to promote the emergence of new variants. Again, this is based on sound principles.
We have to look no further than … the emergence of antibiotic resistance … The principle is this: If you have a biological entity that is prone to mutation — and the SARS-CoV-2, like all coronaviruses is prone to mutation — and you apply a narrowly focused selective pressure that is nonlethal, and you do this over a long period of time, this is the recipe for driving the emergence of novel variants.
This is exactly what we’re doing. Our vaccines are focused on a single protein of the virus, so the virus only has to alter one protein, and the vaccines don’t come close to providing sterilizing immunity.
People who are vaccinated still get infected, it only seems particularly good at blunting the disease, and what that tells you therefore is that these vaccines in the vast majority of people are applying a nonlethal pressure, narrowly focused on one protein, and the vaccine rollout is occurring over a long period of time. That’s the recipe for driving variants.”
Natural Immunity Offers Far Superior Protection
Bridle also explains why natural immunity offers robust protection against all variants, whereas vaccine-induced immunity can’t. When you acquire the infection naturally, your body develops antibodies against ALL of the viral proteins whereas the COVID shots only trigger antibodies against one, namely the spike protein.
As mentioned above, when you have antibodies against just one of the viral proteins, the virus only needs to mutate that one protein in order to evade your immune system. When you have natural immunity, on the other hand, your antibodies will recognize all parts of the virus, so even if the spike protein is mutated, your body will recognize other parts of the virus and mount an attack against those.
That SARS-CoV-2 works the same way other viruses do was shown in a Nature Reviews Immunology study by Alessandro Sette and Shane Crotty, published in October 2020. The study, “Cross-Reactive Memory T Cells and Herd Immunity to SARS-CoV-2” argued that naturally-acquired immunity against SARS-CoV-2 is potent, long-lasting and very broad in scope, as you develop both antibodies and T cells that target multiple components of the virus and not just one.
If we are to depend on vaccine-induced immunity, as public health officials are urging us to do, we’ll end up on a never-ending booster treadmill. Boosters will absolutely be necessary, as the shot offers such narrow protection against a single protein of the virus. Already, data around the world show vaccine-induced protection is waning rapidly in the face of new variants, and Moderna has publicly stated that the need for additional boosters is expected.
How Dangerous Is the Delta Variant?
According to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Delta variant is both more transmissible and more dangerous than the original virus and previous variants. July 4, 2021, he told NBC News:
“It is more effective and efficient in its ability to transmit from person to person. And studies that we've seen where they have been the variant that's dominated in other countries, it's clear that it appears to be more lethal in the sense of more serious — allow you to get more serious disease leading to hospitalization, and in some cases leading to deaths.”
In a June 29, 2021, interview, Fauci called the Delta variant “a game-changer” for unvaccinated people, warning it will devastate the unvaccinated population while vaccinated individuals are protected against it.
The Delta is more contagious but it’s far less deadly, far less worrisome. In fact, it’s a much weaker virus than both the U.K. [Alpha] and the South African [Beta] variants. ~ Dr. Peter McCullough
Remember, Fauci is not a clinician and has never treated someone infected with SARS-CoV-2. Other health experts and practicing physicians who treat COVID-19 patients disagree with Fauci’s claims, arguing that not only is the Delta variant not more dangerous, it’s certainly not more dangerous for the unvaccinated.”
