Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said onTuesday Israelis over the age of 60 and medical teams will be eligible for a fouth Covid vaccination, following the recommendation of an expert panel.

The decision came as the state was struggling to contain the spread of the Omicron variant, imposing travel and other restrictions while avoiding a domestic lockdown.

A statement from the health ministry noted that immunodeficient people will also be eligible for the fourth shot, which can be administered to them, the elderly and the medical teams at least four months after the third shot.

"I gave an order to prepare immediately for a fourth vaccination," Bennett said on Twitter, with a spokesperson saying Israel would be the world's first country to administer the fourth shot.

"The world will follow in our footsteps."

I could be completely wrong, but the impression I get is that the protection against severe infections drops after time. Pfizer 5-6 months, AZ 4-5 months. Plus, in 4 months time they'll have modified it to protect against Omicron. It's a short term vaccine, not a permanent protection.

Okay, I'll play along.


Fair enough.

The impression I get is that they're full of schnitz.


And how does it play in for people who aren't susceptible to severe disease in the first place? And even less so after 3 fookin' jabs?

Protection "drops". What level is needed to prevent "severe disease"?



I swear we've all entered the twilight zone.

Given that the protection of the third fookin' jab is going to wane after 4-6 months, it's still the same answer, right? As for those who aren't susceptible, how do you know who is/isn't? It's all about numbers.

I think we're all feeling a bit like we're in the twilight zone, there's not been anything like this in any of our lifetimes. We have to find some way of getting back to some semblance of normality.

Wanes. Okay, so what level of protection is needed to prevent "severe disease"? 90% 10%? Do we know?

Who's susceptible? Exactly. .. the numbers. Surely the numbers speak for themselves? What groups primarily make up the dead? What groups primarily fill hospitals? Do the jabs prevent long Covid? Not according to Andy n Dee and the 10s of thousands other vaxxed people who have it.

People who are vulnerable and want it, I get it. People who just want it, I get it.

The rest should be left afookinlone?
