“Wait mish, doesn’t Israel have a high vax rate? They shouldn’t have many covid patients right?“
Believable Stats
So now we believe stats from India, Pakistan, and Columbia but not the US?

Highly Vaccinated Israel Is Seeing A Dramatic Surge In New COVID Cases
Please consider Highly Vaccinated Israel Is Seeing A Dramatic Surge In New COVID Cases. Here’s Why
- Immunity from the vaccine dips over time. Israel had fully vaccinated slightly over half its population by March 25.
- The delta variant broke through the vaccine’s waning protection.
- If you get infected, being vaccinated helps. The rate of serious cases among unvaccinated people over age 60 (178.7 per 100,000) was nine times more than the rate among fully vaccinated people of the same age category, and the rate of serious cases among unvaccinated people in the under-60 crowd (3.2 per 100,000) was a little more than double the rate among vaccinated people in that age bracket.
- Israel’s high vaccination rate isn’t high enough. The country jumped out ahead of all other countries on vaccines, and 78% of eligible Israelis over 12 years old are vaccinated. But Israel has a young population, with many under the eligible age for vaccination, and about 1.1 million eligible Israelis, largely between the ages of 12 and 20, have declined to take even one dose of the vaccine. That means only 58% of Israel’s total citizenry is fully vaccinated.
- Booster shots offer more protection — if you are one of the world’s lucky few to get them.
What About Pfizer?
Please note Israel says Pfizer Covid vaccine is just 39% effective as delta spreads
Many Tweeted, almost bragging about low effectiveness of Pfizer. They did not bother to look at the details.
- Pfizer and BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine is just 39% effective in Israel where the delta variant is the dominant strain, according to a new report from the country’s Health Ministry.
- The two-dose vaccine still works very well in preventing people from getting seriously sick, demonstrating 88% effectiveness against hospitalization and 91% effectiveness against severe illness, according to the Israeli data.
Posts Mislead on Israel Vaccine Data
Also consider Posts Mislead on Israel Vaccine Data.
Misleading posts on social media are now twisting data from Israel to falsely claim the country’s vaccination program is a failure due to the number of breakthrough cases of COVID-19 among the vaccinated. Medical professionals say Israel’s vaccine program is making remarkable progress against the virus.
“The vaccination campaign was hugely effective,” Dr. William A Petri, professor of infectious diseases at the University of Virginia, said of Israel’s efforts. “It’s really extraordinary how well these vaccines work.”
It’s easy enough to find total nonsense or some alleged “expert” somewhere spinning the data.
The Twitter anti-vaxxers do that routinely 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. But they don’t like to be called anti-vaxxers.
They want to be called freedom fighters or patriots while spreading complete BS every chance they get.
Vaccine Discrepancies
I do wonder about the Pfizer vaccine itself. It’s 88% effective against hospitalization but that does not imply or say anything about transmission.
Israel is nearly 100% Pfizer….
— The WallStreetRanter (@WallStreet_Rant) August 26, 2021
I did not locate official numbers, but I believe this Tweet is more accurate “Israel is nearly 100% Pfizer.”
The Israeli outbreak can easily be Pfizer-specific or Pfizer-more-likely than say Moderna.
Low Vaccination Rates vs Covid
The US data is clear and consistent. Death rates are highly correlated with low vaccination rates.
The above chart is from my August 21 report Covid Vaccination Rates vs Death Rates Daily and Last 7 Days Update.

The anti-vaxxers would have you believe Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, etc., etc. are all manipulating the data to show more cases.
Why?
Correct. Financial incentive for hospitals and states from the feds.
— Live Monitor (@amlivemon) August 26, 2021
Only the red states manipulate death rates so as to collect more fees from Medicare. The Blue states are not interested in getting more money from the government.
Wow! That quite an amazing revelation.
Alberta Canada Data
Alberta has the best data anywhere on Covid.
- Since Jan 1, 2021, 0.2% of people with one dose (5,597/2,847,380) were diagnosed with COVID-19 14 days after the first immunization date
- Since Jan 1, 2021, 0% of people with two doses (937/2,482,401) were diagnosed with COVID-19 14 days after the second immunization date
- 94.7% of cases (125,376/132,373) since Jan 1, 2021 were unvaccinated or diagnosed within two weeks from the first dose immunization date
- 92.1% of hospitalized cases (5,270/5,719) since Jan 1, 2021 were unvaccinated or diagnosed within two weeks from the first dose immunization date
- 86.9% of COVID-19 deaths (692/796) since Jan 1, 2021 were unvaccinated or diagnosed within two weeks from the first dose immunization date
Not AVSA Compliant
We better ignore that data. It is not AVSA compliant. That is to say it does not have the Anti-Vaxxer Seal of Approval.
Nothing does unless it purports the idea that vaccinations do no good.
Besides, anyone with any degree of common sense knows Alberta is in bed with Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, in data manipulation.
There is no other possible explanation.
Dying For the Cause
Let’s discuss the “Educated Decision” of Anti-Vax Talk Show Host Phil Valentine.
“Why in the world would I get the vaccine?” asked Valentine.
He is now dead. Thousands are dead who would be alive today if only they got vaccinated.
But let’s ignore that too, and focus on some isolated death case attributed to Covid.
Data is 100% Consistent
Vaccinations are proven to slow the spread of serious cases. Hospitals are clogged with severe cases of Covid, mosty from unvaccinated, needlessly draining supplies from others in need. ICUs are at capacity also due to people on a fool’s mission against the data.
Someone on Twitter objected to the preceding paragraph and wanted to know on what planet the vaccinations were proven. I replied Earth and asked if he was from Uranus.
The data in Israel, US, UK, and Canada. Is consistent. The data say vaccinations prevent (not stop) serious infections and reduce (not eliminate deaths).
But to hell with that.
By all means, let’s tout the 39% effectiveness and ignore the details.
Let’s also believe stats from India. Hell’s bells, let’s believe any report as long as it supports the view vaccinations are a failure.
That is the consistent drum beat of the anti-vax patriots continually making fools of themselves.
Mish
20 Apr Times. ”Opinion: No, We Don’t Know if Vaccines Change Your Period”
22 Apr Statesman. ”No, the COVID vaccine won’t affect fertility or menstrual cycles politifact”
7 July Sky UK. ”COVID-19: More than 13,000 women report changes to periods after having vaccine but experts say fertility not affected. The number of women reporting changes to their menstrual cycle linked to having a COVID vaccine has risen to 13,000. The figure has increased from around 4,000 women last month.”
19 Aug Spectator ”At least 30,304 British women have disclosed changes to their menstrual cycle after getting vaccinated against Covid-19. An editor for The Spectator is one of the most recently affected, and says many more are afraid to come out.”
Not even worth arguing against anti-vaxxers. The actual real life evidence in favor of vaccines is overwhelming. The states with the lowest vaccination rates are now stopping the publication of daily statistics because they are so bad. I stand by previous statements.
Hong Kong Flu was worse than Covid. Spanish flu being the gold standard. Preventing Covid infection is the same as flu. You can take a shot, it may or may not be effective depending on variant. Older folks tend to want those.
General health and immunity using vitamin D, losing weight, anti-oxidants, smoking cessation, better diet is a better bet than taking a one hit wonder vaccine. Keep your finger out of your eyes, nose and mouth. Wear a mask in dense populations-the asians have been doing this for eons.
Don’t tell the food industry that, or Pfizer which makes billions on vaccines.
“Ivermectin proved to be even more of a ‘Wonder drug’ in human health,
improving the nutrition, general health and wellbeing of billions of
people worldwide ever since it was first used to treat Onchocerciasis in
humans in 1988.”
the NIH, you know, where Anthony Fauci has his destructive bully
pulpit, from where he has FAILED to develop an actual treatment protocol
for COVID, because he and everyone else is bought off by the Pharma
lobby, which is now the most evil force on earth.
“Why in the world would I get the vaccine?” asked Valentine.
“He is now dead. Thousands are dead who would be alive today if only they got vaccinated.”
“It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear. And from our shores, we — you know, it could get worse before it gets better. It could maybe go away. We’ll see what happens. Nobody really knows.”

England

Russia, China, not so much
If it’s short term, tell us. Don’t act like it’s a panacea to come back later to offer another excuse why we need another.
The researchers who validly proposed this tech for cancer even now, in no way would see this as a general vaccine because of the long term complications that the FDA said no to, oh, 18 months ago.
Again, I had it, turned out well, so why force people in my group to take a vac or be lumped into the Trump/Q people… (and I do like reading fiction, so conspiracy theories are enjoyable).
“The findings showed, however, that in people with a history of
COVID-19, the T-cell response was already robust after the first vaccine
dose, with no significant increase after the second dose, which may
have implications for potential future booster shots.
“Our findings underscore the fact that we need to look at T
cells, not just antibodies, if we want a complete picture of the vaccine
response for those who have not had COIVD-19 and for those who have
recovered from the disease”
binding to specific viral structures, but they are whole cells, some of
which—called “killer” T-cells—are capable of directly killing
virus-infected cells they encounter. T cells therefore have long been
regarded as the heavy armor of the immune system.
I do think there should be a space for those quite bright people who are unvaxxed and the Q-people. I had COVID and recovered without a hospital stay as do 999 people out of 1,000. I know firsthand that the mRNA technology has been researched at UofM for cancer treatments for 10 years, and there are genuine long-term concerns that couldn’t get FDA approval. The vaccine may offer a short-term antibody response to help give your body a one-up, but this is far from a true, proven vaccine by any traditional methods – especially long-term.
I myself and my family, we still social distance, wear masks, keep healthy, but with the way this mutates, also don’t assume we’re immune to what’s next.
No joke. Time magazine… My God.
