According to foreign media reports, the heads of the seven major public hospitals in Israel jointly announced that they will stop accepting COVID-19 patients and will maintain the basic operation of the hospital in a weekend mode starting on the 25th. The so-called weekend model is to ensure the minimum operation of the hospital. Considering Israel's highest vaccination rate in the world, some people might think that Israel has successfully combated the epidemic and the hospital can take a rest. But the actual situation is quite the opposite. Israeli hospitals have been completely overwhelmed by the new wave of epidemics.
The head of the Israeli hospital said that funds, personnel, and medical equipment have reached their limits. Without equipment, means, and wages to continue to treat COVID-19 patients, we can only choose to give up completely, stop treating COVID-19 patients, and let COVID-19 patients fend for themselves.
How far has the Israeli epidemic worsened? In 14 hours, the number of newly confirmed cases exceeded 6,400. Compared with the 100,000 and 200,000 new cases in the United States, Israel does not seem to be at the point of collapse, but it should be noted that Israel is only A small country with a small territory has resulted in very limited resources. Even if Israel is full of hospitals, it is impossible to have as many hospitals in the United States. Moreover, the United States has a population of more than 300 million, while the population of Israel is less than 10 million.
At present, the cumulative number of confirmed cases in Israel has exceeded 1 million, and the trend of rapid rise continues. In the epidemic curve, it is still in the rising range. Considering that the medical system has collapsed, the turning point is far away. And what makes the Israelis most puzzled right now is why it suddenly collapsed after so many people were vaccinated?
The vaccination rate in Israel once reached the first place in the world, and even now, it is very high. 63% of the Israeli people have completed two doses of vaccinations. Among the population 12 years and older, the vaccination rate is as high as 80%. According to the theory of herd immunity, Israel has crossed the threshold of herd immunity. Therefore, it can be seen that Israel has opened up a long time ago, and for a time it did not even require wearing a mask when going out.
At that time, Israel was envied by Western countries and was even regarded as a role model. However, it didn't take long for Israel to find out that something was wrong. I hurriedly asked to wear a mask and took a series of measures, but it still could not stop the new peak of the epidemic. In less than two months, the hospital was dragged down. Since most of Israel's vaccination work uses American Pfizer vaccines, Israelis have great doubts about the reliability of American vaccines.
The Pfizer vaccine in the United States uses mRNA technology. The inventor of the technology has been concerned about the situation in Israel for a long time. He discovered a phenomenon that the antibodies produced by Pfizer are not as effective as those naturally produced in COVID-19 patients. Naturally produced antibodies can almost avoid breakthrough infections, but the Pfizer vaccine, which claims to be more than 90% effective, cannot stop the COVID-19 virus, especially the mutated COVID-19 virus.
In addition, the inventor also mentioned that mRNA technology has many shortcomings, which may make vaccinators more susceptible to COVID-19 pneumonia. This basically explains the current situation in Israel. The more people who are vaccinated, the more people will be infected. Those who have not been vaccinated and who have acquired antibodies through COVID-19 pneumonia are able to resist the mutant COVID-19 virus. attack. To a certain extent, it can be said that the COVID-19 vaccine in the United States is fake. In addition to Israel, the out-of-control outbreak in the United States can also prove this.
