Israel’s Health Ministry said today that for the first time since February 2021, the number of seriously ill COVID patients exceeded 1,000 with 231 on ventilators, Ynet reports. The ministry also said that 38 people died from coronavirus over the weekend and 406 since the beginning of January, bringing the death toll since the start of the pandemic to 8,657.

The coronavirus ward at the Rabin Medical Center is totally swamped. Other hospitals say that they can’t accommodate the number of Covid patients arriving. Chevros kadisha attest to the unprecedented number of niftarim, stating that they are overwhelmed and calling on additional volunteers to assist with their chesed shel emes.

Strangely, however, health experts including Professor Eran Segal of the Weizmann Institute said that the wave of morbidity caused by the highly infectious Omicron variant, has peaked and is on the decline.

Since January 1, 1,364,451 people in Israel were confirmed to have been infected by the virus, and over 75,000 over the weekend alone.

  1. The wave may be in decline, but the mortality from severe Covid has a two weeks or greater latency (people who died over Shabbos got ill about 2 or more weeks ago).
    Therefore, there is nothing strange about the health experts’ statements.

  2. Weird, only stupid idiots can believe anything they say about vaccines. The highest rates of vaccination in the world yet they have of the most deaths in the world. Its 1 of 2. Either the vaccines are worthless and dont protect against serious illness or the vaccine is dangerous at least to a subset of the population.

    Please keep your outrageous answer to all discrepancies and call it a conspiracy. The term conspiracy has been used only by people that cant think for themselves, cant use common sense, or arrogantly consider themselves from the elites and are afraid to lose the title when proven brainless.

    • Israel hasn’t had the highest vaccination rates in the world in a LONG time.
      Their death rates from Covid, as well as the actual numbers, are BH far lower than in countries with similar populations, including ones with comparable or even higher vaccination rates.

  3. 1) The vaccines do cause a spike to the immune response.
    2) The vaccines do decrease severity of symptoms.
    3) Naturally acquired immunity is far better and longer lasting than any vaccine (perhaps 18 months versus 6 months).
    4) With natural immunity, each time one is exposed, the immune response is activated anew.
    5) Natural immunity plus even one vaccine provides far greater immunity than vaccine alone.
