i24 News – Israel’s decision to call off its mask mandate in enclosed spaces represented a serious error, a senior health expert told the Hebrew-language Ynet website, amid a rise in Covid morbidity in the country.
The so-called R rate of the virus — indicating the number of people any one carrier is likely to infect — stood at 1.19 in Israel, pointing to an upward curve in the morbidity.
“I recommend that people in dense enclosed spaces, such as a bus or train, wear a mask; it’s not that hard,” Prof. Yehuda Adler, a cardiology professor at Tel Aviv’s Sheba Tel Hashomer Medical Center, told the Ynet website.
“The decision was made on the eve of the Mimouna [a traditional Maghrebi Jewish celebration dinner], it was more of a populist move rather than a medical one,” he said on Wednesday.
“Calling off virus testing at Ben Gurion Airport altogether was likewise outrageous. It took us a year to build such a precise and well-calibrated system, and it was a mistake to shut it down. We know the new variants, BA.4 and BA.5, are already rearing their heads in South Africa, and it’s clear they’ll do so in the US, Europe and Israel. Even so, all testing was scrapped. That’s not how you manage a pandemic.”
Dr. Yasmin Ma’or, a member of the Health Ministry’s Epidemiological Control Team (ECT), voiced similar concerns.
“Testing people who returned from abroad should’ve continued. Testing can’t block variants from entering the country, yet offers warning signs. Scrapping the indoor mask mandate happened too soon. Wearing a mask is a small price to pay compared to what we may pay for mass infection,” she told Ynet.
“It’s true that the public is fatigued, and doesn’t want to follow every single guideline. It’s possible these guidelines can’t be effectively enforced, but ending restrictions sends a message that Covid is no more.”
““The decision was made on the eve of the Mimouna [a traditional Maghrebi Jewish celebration dinner], it was more of a populist move rather than a medical one,” he said on Wednesday.”
The truth, of course, is that the original decree to wear masks was more a political one rather than a medical one.
We all recall Lord Fauci stating that masks would do nothing (other than harm the wearer, of course).
And you believe Fauci on this but not on other things. Hmmm.
This “doctor” is probably on payroll for Big Pharma or some other questionable entity. Wearing masks never made sense medically, nor did testing. It was all about control and tyranny and oppression. If they ever G-d forbid reinstate these dangerous insanities, our role is to comply with Hashem’s Mitzvos and not with the government.
Probably? DEFINITELY! Doctors today are reshaim gemurim as many Gedolei Yisroel are saying.
No doubt Chazal meant טוב שברופאים לגיהנם regarding doctors today.
Covid, Coronavirus, PCR tests, vaxinations and masks are ALL 100% political AND EVIL and have ABSOLUTELY NOT PURPOSE MEDICALLY.
The SOLE INTENTION for these masks are to kill you via hypoxemia which one can get by breathing expelled carbon dioxide. Remember in 2020 when many gullible people who constantly wore masks were hospitalized and many didn’t make it ל”ע? Of course the מלאכי חבלה in the hospitals called their deaths “covid” and the naive sheeple believed it and continued wearing it ה”י.
These “Health Experts” should all be arrested and jailed for life for murdering thousands of people.
Had Covid been a real disease or a real virus, these masks wouldn’t protect a single person.
Masks mandate can only be enforced for those who have no idea how fake this whole thing is – and, of course, for the politicians trolling with Big Pharma and the CDC and FDA Deep State Crime Organizations.
Only in a country where most people are deeply asleep can a so-called health-minister mandate dangerous useless masks for its citizens.
Why does the senior health expert have no name? BECAUSE IT’S A LIE AND THEY KNOW IT and you have to be a first-class dunce not to understand that a rise in Covid morbidity is 100% from those idiots who took even 1 shot who need big rachamim.
Vaccine Side Effects, aka Covid, Flooding Hospitals and Funeral Homes at Alarming Rates!
He’s all annoyed that no one is bowing down to his getchka (elohei maseicha) anymore.
I’m sorry but this doctor and let’s put that in quotes, is a little bit off base. Thank Gd people have realized that a lot of these factors have something in mind, their own personal agenda.
The current number over the past week in EY of people who were infected, is a very low 0.328125%! Flip that around and it means 99.67% of the Israeli population is walking around without the virus. Please explain to me why masks would be needed for less than 1/3 of 1%? There’s no logic to this. In fact, anyone with logic can tell you that there’s been a serious lack of logic when it came to CCP virus since about 2 or 3 weeks into this disaster 2 years ago.
One day we’re going to really find out BEH who was taking money from whom in order to extend mandates and to fear monger.
Covid is no more
and never was
