As you may recall, last month Jerusalem Post reported that of the 143 covid patients admitted to the hospital, there were more fully vaccinated patients than the unvaccinated. Of this figure, 58% were fully vaccinated while 39% were unvaccinated.
Now, the situation in Israel is getting worse for fully vaccinated people. In an interview with Israel Channel 13, Israel top health official Dr. Kobi Haviv, who is also the Director of the Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem, says:
“95% of the severe patients are vaccinated. 85-90% of the hospitalizations are in Fully vaccinated people. We are opening more and more COVID wards. The effectiveness of the vaccine is waning/fading out,” Dr. Haviv said.
He went on to say that, “90% of severe covid hospitalizations are fully vaccinated,” he noted. Unfortunately,’ explains the Director, the effectiveness of the vaccine is ‘fading,’ “outbreaks in hospitals, one patient infects a large number of people, it is no just here and there,” he added.
