   I was talking about this:

   claimed in the NEJM study presented by Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis to the FDA panel.

   If I remember correctly, the FDA rejected the Israeli data because Israel’s definition of unvaccinated is/was different from that used in the US which skewed the results.

   This is not a difference in definitions. They changed the official iMOH data. They have the screenshots demonstrating this.

   Between Oct. 4 and Oct. 12 iMOH has changed the grouping of people in the iMOH dashboard for data collected for the Sept. 12. On Oct 4, there were a total of 360 people including 118 people positive with vaccination, but on Oct 8 there are still a total of 360 people positive but only 10 people are positive with vaccination. This changes yet again on Oct. 12 to a total of 360 positive people with 72 people positive with vaccination. So the data for Sept. 12 was changed. The total remained the same, so it was not due to alterations due to added data. It was only the actual grouping between vaccinated and unvaccinated. The vaccinated positive tests for Sept. 12 changed from 118(33%) on Oct. 4 to 10(3%) on Oct. 8 to 72(20%) on Oct. 12, per the screen shots.

   The protests won’t do anything because they don’t hit anyone where it hurts (except for the protesters themselves).

   What is a couple of thousand people vs. another million which will silently comply?

4. Is this really real? How much of the iMOH data is to be accepted as factual after this? Unless this turns out to be Fake News, there is going to be one hell of a $#!~ storm over this.

   I have noted that the daily deaths listed in the iMOH is different on a daily basis between iMOH and Worldometer.com. I looked into it and Worldometer claims they recieved their data from the iMOH dashboard. I always ignored the Worldometer data as it was a secondary source, but now this makes me ponder that decision. The differences were sometimes off by dozens in a single day. For instance, on 9/5 Worldometer lists 64 dead while iMOH lists 24 dead. If you add the death from 9/5 and 9/6 together on iMOH it only comes to 60 dead. So is this real?

   Someone needs to be prosecuted for this. If this is substantiated this is fraud.

5. Sounds like fraud to me…I wonder if the FDA knew…

   Based on MOH dashboard data, an analysis conducted by members of the Israeli Public Emergency Council for the Corona Crisis demonstrated that the Pfizer COVID-19 booster effectiveness is much lower than that claimed in the NEJM study presented by Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis to the FDA panel.

   Within 24 hours from the release of the analysis, the relevant dashboard data history was completely re-written by the MOH.

   The Council released screenshots of the original data, and the “rectified” data that apparently was intended to preempt the Council’s Analysis.

   “The problem is that this study is severely biased, because it does not take into account an important factor – people who did not receive the booster are tested much more than those who did,” says Oz Koren. “Although the Ministry of Health has data on that, the authors of that study did not take it into account.”

   To address the problem and try to assess the true efficacy of the booster in the population, Koren, Prof. Altuvia and Prof. Levy decided to focus on a specific group for which data are available in the MOH’s control dashboard – Israelis returning from abroad.

   “The advantage of the data obtained from the test conducted at Ben Gurion Airport is that one hundred percent of the people are tested,” Koren explains. “This is a unique setting where vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals are all tested in (almost) the same intensity, which allows a more objective assessment of both the booster and Green Pass efficacy in preventing infections,” the researchers wrote.

   The analysis was performed on data published on September 25, 2021 on the control dashboard, reflecting the modified definitions of vaccinated and unvaccinated status after the Pfizer booster shot, based on which the new eligibility for a Green Pass is determined. This change meant that people who had been vaccinated more than six months previously and did not receive the booster dose were counted as “unvaccinated.”

   Their findings were surprising: the analysis suggests that the relative protection of the booster shot against infection is significantly smaller than the advertised 10-to-11-fold (over 90 percent) by the MOH, probably around or even less than 2.75-fold (about 65 percent).

   Simply put, the study demonstrates that under a relatively equal testing regime, the jabbed and unjabbed show much more similar infection rates.

   “The analysis raises fundamental questions regarding the rationale of imposing the new Green Pass policy as it seems that it is not going to be effective in truly eliminating infections, especially considering the expected decline in the booster efficacy over time,” the researchers wrote. “In fact, the Green Pass policy could encourage the wrong perception within high risk patients that they are protected around vaccinated individuals, whereas they can both infect and be infected.” Moreover, they noted that “This analysis highlights the fundamental methodological problems in the current efficacy assessment by the MOH and calls for further and more open assessment.”

   The publication was released by the Israeli Public Emergency Council on October 5 and distributed in Israel and abroad. And then something unexpected happened: within 24 hours from the release, the airport positive cases entry history was re-written by the Ministry of Health, drastically changing the vaccination status of the daily confirmed cases going backward over a period of months.

   “For example (as can be seen it in the screenshots below, released by the council), if originally on a given day there were 118 vaccinated confirmed cases vs 242 unvaccinated – it suddenly became 10 vaccinated vs. 350 unvaccinated,” Koren explains. “That is, blatant changes, which our examination shows were made over months. They did not just ’round’ corners – but actually drastically re-wrote the whole history.”

6. This is very effective. Very well done. We should note that a well known news anchor in Israel described the Tel Aviv protest as having “dozens” of protesters, presumably to disguise the reality of the thousands shown in this film. The protests have been going on for 16 consequtive weeks of protests. This is how the public talks to their govt.
