Israeli Mainstream News - How To Confuse People Into Getting The Booster

Transcription
What are the numbers telling us? The reporters of “Kann News” will now explain the data and its meaning.

Nov Reuveny, the stage is yours.
Yes, Hi Doriya.

So today we will look on the number of new cases at the age 60 and above.

Let’s take for example the numbers from yesterday. Out of 279 cases (age 60 +)

250 cases were “fully vaccinated” and 29 were “unvaccinated” or “partially vaccinated”.

This is how it looks in percentages:
90% were fully vaccinated and 10% were unvaccinated/partially vaccinated.

Now let’s look on another pie chart with the general percentage of vaccination in Israel. Unfortunately, it’s similar: 94% are vaccinated.

Why “unfortunately”?
It’s encouraging that so many people got vaccinated and we can see that its being reflected in “severe morbidity”.

However, the fact that the portion of “vaccinated” in the 60+ population is almost identical to their portion in “verified cases”

is saying that at the age of 60 and above there is almost no difference between being vaccinated or not. You have the same chances of getting the disease!

And this is exactly what the 3rd dose of the vaccine is supposed to change. However, only people at the age of 60+ are currently getting it.

While the decline in the efficiency of the vaccine in preventing transmission was also seen in younger people, even though it’s a smaller decline,

Yet, this is significant. Now we will add the conclusion of the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

In their document that was exposed this week at “The New York Times”, they wrote that if a person was being infected with “Delta”

the “viral load” in vaccinated people is not lower than the one that is present in unvaccinated people.

In simple words: vaccinated people that got infected can transmit the disease exactly the same as unvaccinated people.

Based on this data, the fact that vaccinated people that were exposed to a verified person are exempted from being quarantined or tested is a bit strange.

This issue has already been discussed in the past but went off the table in an attempt not to lower the general motivation to get vaccinated.

However, according to the numbers, the motivation to get vaccinated should stay high because the vaccines are still able to protect us against severe morbidity.

And perhaps, even if it sucks, it might be worth re-examining the issue of self-quarantine.
