Israel Health Minister Caught on Hot Mic Confesses: There is No ‘Medical Justification’ for Covid Passports

By        

The health minister of Israel has admitted on a ‘hot mic’ that there is no “medical or epidemiological justification for the Covid passport.”

“There is no medical or epidemiological justification for the Covid passport, it is only intended to pressure the unvaccinated to vaccinate,” Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz said in video that was aired on Channel 12.

“Several ministers were overheard prior to a cabinet meeting on Sunday saying that some coronavirus-related restrictions are only aimed at incentivizing vaccination, rather than driving down morbidity, while lamenting that the unvaccinated are taking up hospital beds,” the Times of Israel reported on the incident.

“I also think you can remove the Green Pass for outdoor restaurants,” Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked told Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz.

“In pools, too, not just in restaurants. Epidemiologically it’s correct,” Horowitz replied to Shaked, noting that the Covid ‘passport,’ called the Green Pass in Israel, is not particularly needed at outdoor gatherings.

“The thing is, I’m telling you this, our problem is people who don’t get vaccinated. We need that they… otherwise… we will not get out of this,” the health minister added.

The Times of Israel notes that the Green Pass currently applies to most public attractions, except malls. But the Israeli health minister didn’t want to make exceptions, “because then they will say — if not pools, then why water parks?’”

“Still, we don’t want to do things that don’t have medical justification,” he added.

There may be no such thing as “fully vaccinated” for Covid-19, Israel, one of the highest-vaccinated countries in the world, is finding out. The nation is now preparing to roll out a fourth shot in its Covid vaccination series.

“Israel is set to begin preparations to administer fourth doses of the coronavirus vaccines as the country deals with soaring cases despite its trail-blazing roll-out of jabs,” the Daily Mail reported in early September. “The country’s national coronavirus czar Salman Zarka said the country needs to prepare for a fourth injection, which could be modified to better protect against new variants of the virus.”

“Given that that the virus is here and will continue to be here, we also need to prepare for a fourth injection,” Zarka said on Kan public radio. ‘This is our life from now on, in waves,” he added.

“Thinking about this and the waning of the vaccines and the antibodies, it seems every few months — it could be once a year or five or six months — we’ll need another shot,” he said earlier.

Israel has experienced a surge of Covid infections during a ‘fourth wave,’ despite being a relatively high-vaccinated nation. Our World in Data, a research group run from Oxford University, reported that although Israel has over a 60% “fully vaccinated” rate, it recently led the world in daily confirmed cases per million.

Thus, the vaccinations fail to stop transmission, and have become a conduit for variants, such as the “Delta variant.” Although the Covid shots wear off over time, however, the data are clear that they lower the likelihood of death and hospitalization from the Sars-CoV-2 virus.

Meanwhile, Israel’s Health Ministry has announced that vaccine passports will expire 6 months after an individual’s 2nd or 3rd dose, Dr. David Samadi said.

If breakthrough cases are the norm with vaccines, then it is reasonable to ask if the vaccine is nothing more than one of a number of medical tools available for patients and doctors to manage individual Covid risk between themselves.

The Health Minister’s confession was captured on video and on microphone and can be watched below.

  1. This could lead to a great victory against child vax programs around the world:
    A Judge has ordered the UK Goverment to submit evidence that justifies Covid-19 vaccination of children, giving them a deadline of Monday 11th October.

    The order from The Hon. Mr Justice Jay is most welcome after we exclusively revealed Thursday 30th September that since teens over the age of 15 had been given the Covid-19 vaccine deaths among the age group had increased by 47% compared to the same period in 2020. (See here)

    We also then delved back into the Office for National Statistics data due to a suspicion we would find the majority of those deaths had been among teenage boys due to the risk of myocardtis, inflammation of the heart muscle, associated with the Pfizer vaccine and mainly occurring in younger males, as well as a correlation with a rise in emergency calls requesting an ambulance due to cardiac arrest, found in Public Health England data.

    Unfortunately our fears were confirmed, as we exclusively revealed on Monday 4th October that deaths among teenage boys have increased by 63% in the UK since they started getting the Covid-19 vaccine. (See here)

    To add to that we then exclusively revealed on Tuesday 5th October that Chris Whitty’s decision to overrule the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation and advise the Government to offer the Covid-19 vaccine to all healthy secondary school children, has so far led to a 400% increase in deaths among male children compared to the same period in 2020. (See here)

    The government had asked for the case to be struck out but it remains before the Court. The Hon. Mr Justice Jay accepted that the Claimants’ barrister, Mr Francis Hoar, had done enough to persuade him there was an arguable case. The Judge also rejected the government’s argument that consideration of the case should be limited to how it affects the two claimants. In terms he accepted they were representative and were entitled to raise the issues for consideration with reference to the effect on the wider population.

    However, the Court refused to order any immediate pause of the mass vaccination programme. Having heard submissions for the parties on how the case should proceed, the government seeking a long timetable and delay, the Claimants seeking a speedy hearing, the Court has given directions that the government submits further response and evidence by 11 October with the Claimants having to 15 October to reply. The Court will then reconsider the matter promptly.

  2. Thanks Michael. You are quite correct about the paucity of meaningful data, but such things are not by accident, but rather by design, unfortunately. It is a very worrisome topic. There does seem to be some good news, however, as the news of IVM in India has finally broken into some more readily viewed news sites over the past few days.

  3. @Michael
    Actually, China used HCQ and from what I understand they are not employing these “cutting edge” vaccines(correct me if I am in error here). Any vaccine can have the normal problems associated with vaccines, ie ADE and ADI, but these spike vaccines have their own drama’s that are very disturbing and many of which we are literally just becoming aware of.

    I saw Dr. Botha’s observations earlier, and it is not the first time these findings have been reported on Peters show and elsewhere. In truth I first saw these findings noted by a follower of ToreSays podcast, and I attributed them to nonsense and hyperbole. But these findings kept recurring. The recent autopsies revealed things for which there are no medical terms yet defined, as they have never before been documented in medical history. If nothing else about the vax is found to be disturbingly concerning to people, this point alone should, perhaps, wake them from their complacency, if they ever hear of it. In any case, they found fibroid strings and fibrous formations as well as metal objects in the autopsies of various shapes and sizes approaching 1% of the width of a human hair(https://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/modern-day-censorship/international-research-groups-find-sharp-metal-objects-in-covid-vaccines-very-frightening/).

    I have to admit I have become more concerned with the recurring images such as shown by Dr. Botha and others before the autopsies, but these autopsies were definitive in supporting these other observations. Also, just today, a researcher claims to have gained access to a Pfizer vax and his findings were very supportive of the fibrous objects in the autopsies(https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1444639912880443396.html). Also Japan has recalled 1.6million vaccines following discovery of metal objects in the vaccines.

    So, it seems we may have much more to be concerned about, beyond what is already known about the vax. And again the guiding principle of the day is you won’t find what you don’t look for, which is why we are only now becoming aware of these facts, even as the censors so diligently keep removing from public view.

  4. No benefit discerned in countries with high vaccination rates even after ignoring data of 1st month post-vax.

    Since full immunity from the vaccine is believed to take about 2 weeks after the second dose, we conducted sensitivity analyses by using a 1-month lag on the percentage population fully vaccinated for countries and US counties. The above findings of no discernable association between COVID-19 cases and levels of fully vaccinated was also observed when we considered a 1-month lag on the levels of fully vaccinated

    The sole reliance on vaccination as a primary strategy to mitigate COVID-19 and its adverse consequences needs to be re-examined, especially considering the Delta (B.1.617.2) variant and the likelihood of future variants. Other pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions may need to be put in place alongside increasing vaccination rates. Such course correction, especially with regards to the policy narrative, becomes paramount with emerging scientific evidence on real world effectiveness of the vaccines.

    Where is the efficacy?

    Figure 1 in the study shows Israel as a markedly strong outlier to all the other nations. Israel does employ an excessively high but biased, over-testing program, ie they employ true screening techniques biased against the unvaccinated subjects who are forced to encounter the screenings(biased towards school children, and young to moderate aged(<65yrs), and less affluent day laborers) – I will note that the CDC and WHO each oppose the use of PCR screening without clinical reasoning. This will catch more pre-symptomatic and mild cases and untold numbers of false positives. But the Israeli data is badly out of sync with the remaining populations. It is disturbing that only 2 nations are within 1000 cases/million of Israel's cases. This becomes even more particularly significant when it is noted that the Israeli data is the basis upon which much of the FDA/CDC/NIH conclusions are being based. One more observation which might address the outlier status of the Israeli data – it should be noted that this data was collected at the height of the 3rd jab program amid an outbreak in Israel. Each of these points could be important. If it is the 3rd jab, it would not speak well for the program, so this should be monitored as the outbreak resolves. It would be interesting to track this data to see if Israel's data returns to a more typical position among other nations over time as Israel slowly continues to resolve the more severe/serious/critical cases.

  5. Major healthcare group fires nearly 2% of workforce.

    Northwell Health fires 1,400 unvaccinated employees
    By Shannon Caturano New York City

    Northwell Health announced Monday that the company let go of 1,400 employees who decided not to comply with the state’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care workers.

    “Northwell regrets losing any employee under such circumstances, but as health care professionals and members of the largest health care provider in the state, we understand our unique responsibility to protect the health of our patients and each other,” a spokesperson for Northwell Health said in a statement.

    According to the company’s website, Northwell Health employs more than 76,000 people. It is the state’s largest health care provider.

    Northwell said its entire staff is now vaccinated. This includes both clinical and non-clinical workers, not just those who are directly coming in contact with patients.

    “This allows us to continue to provide exceptional care at all of our facilities, without interruption and remain open and fully operational,” the statement said.

    Parting ways with unvaccinated employees has not affected patient care or programs, according to the statement.

    The claims that the terminations of nearly 2% of the work force not affecting patient care or programs does not pass the laugh test. The hospital systems are chronically understaffed, especially with Covid and winter is setting in. They will make ends meet by hiring unqualified workers or more likely stretching staff, eg, instead of having a nurse for every 2 critical care beds, it will be extended to a nurse for every 4 critical care beds – breaking the raitios is never with undertaken lightly, as it is rarely done without a cost. Unfortunately the costs are never publicized. Hospitals never overstaff the floors, never. They are festidiously concerned with cost management and quality staff are often competitively chased after. The recent reports of National Guard troops filling in for trained medical staff simply adds to the dour tragedy of what will likely never be reported.

  6. Francis Collins, longtime head of NIH, will resign, report says

    Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health, is set to announce his resignation on Tuesday and will vacate his post by the end of 2020, according to reports.

    The 71-year-old physician-geneticist, who oversaw the research center for 12 years, aims to return to the National Human Genome Research Institute, the Washington Post reported. The lab is a branch of NIH.

    NIH did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News seeking comment. The paper, citing an NIH official, reported that the agency does not have an interim director to replace Collins.

    Collins led the acclaimed Human Genome Project to completion in 2003 and, in recent months, he has worked to accelerate treatments for the coronavirus. In August, he appeared on “Fox News Sunday” and stressed the highly contagious nature of the Delta variant, while acknowledging that vaccines are generally effective against it.

    Collins went on to say that while infections of vaccinated people are rare and do not pose significant risks to those people themselves, vaccinated people who do catch it can transmit it to to others. That, he explained, is why the CDC is recommending people in areas where there is high transmission to go back to wearing masks indoors, even if they are vaccinated.

    “This is the best way to stop the transmission of this very contagious virus,” he said.

    Collins runs the NIH and is responsible for govt funding to medical research. He is responsible for the lack of funding being directed at many concerning subjects that are only being pursued due to private funding from people such as Steve Kirsch.
