Prognosis: Grim in the US
41 deaths in 24 hours; 531 serious cases; positive test rate highest since February; 500 at-risk kids age 5-11 vaccinated, with mild or no side effects; new travel rules start

The number of serious COVID-19 cases in Israel fell slightly overnight amid hopes that the effect of the third vaccine booster given to older Israelis was beginning to be seen. Meanwhile, active cases in the country rose to over 50,000 after standing at around 200 just two months ago.
Health Ministry data showed there were 531 patients in serious condition, a drop of 7 since midnight. Of the seriously ill, 94 were on ventilators. In total, there were 908 people hospitalized with COVID-19.
The Health Ministry said the rate of serious cases was far higher among unvaccinated Israelis aged 60-plus, who constituted 151.5 people per 100,000 in serious condition on Monday; among the vaccinated the figure was 19.3, and among the partially vaccinated 40.9.
There were 5,083 new infections recorded on Sunday with a further 2,618 cases diagnosed since midnight, taking the number of active cases in the country to 50,693.
The ministry said that 85,503 people were tested on Sunday, with the positivity rate showing a further rise to 6.07 percent — the highest level since February.
There were five fatalities overnight, raising the death toll to 6,673, meaning there were 41 deaths reported in the previous 24 hours.
Amid rising cases, Israel last month became the first country in the world to begin administering booster shots to those 60 and over, and was a pioneer once again on Friday as it began giving third doses to people 50 and up.
As of Monday morning, 964172 people in Israel had received the booster, while out of Israel’s population of some 9.3 million, over 5.8 million had received at least one vaccine dose, and more than 5.4 million had gotten two.
Meanwhile, new travel restrictions came into effect at midnight listing only 10 countries from which vaccinated or recovered Israelis are able to return without having to quarantine fully and instead only isolate for 24 hours or until receipt of a negative test result.
Those countries are: Austria, Australia, Hong Kong, Hungary, Taiwan, Moldova, New Zealand, China, Singapore and the Czech Republic. Most of those locations are not allowing tourists to enter.
Amid the rising cases and concerns of a further spike in infection when children return to school, Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis, head of public health services at the Health Ministry, said Monday that she believes the start of the academic year will not be delayed and will open on September 1 unless there is a full lockdown.

“In my opinion, there will not be a situation where the economy is open and the school year does not begin,” Alroy-Preis told the Walla news site. “The school year will only not open as usual if we reach the point of needing a lockdown. We are doing everything we can to stop the infections and not reach this point.”
Meanwhile, the Israel Hayom newspaper reported that around 500 children aged 5-11 have received a dose of the coronavirus vaccine in Israel over the past two weeks, with only mild side effects reported in some recipients and the rest showing no side effects at all.
The Health Ministry told Israel’s health providers last month that they can administer coronavirus vaccines to children aged 5-11 who have serious background illnesses that could make them more vulnerable to COVID-19. Authorizations for individual children must be granted by the healthcare provider and then be validated by the ministry. The ministry’s policy is to minimize the number of authorizations and issue them only for those with the highest risk, it said.
The reports came after the Health Ministry said Sunday that Israel will reimpose caps on gatherings that will restrict attendance at private and public events, as well as rules requiring social distancing in businesses that serve customers in person, including stores and shopping malls.
The government is determined to avoid ordering what would be the country’s fourth lockdown since the coronavirus pandemic started, and is pushing vaccinations, along with some restrictions, as a way to confront a tide of infections expected before morbidity drops again.

I think the above is is not the cause of their behavior but the result of the way the Americans have been trained almost from birth.
In my opinion, these people are not being separated from their principles under duress, they simply NEVER HAD ANY PRINCIPLES (moral or ethical, at least) to start with.
The only principles most of these people have are:
1) There is no one truth, everything is relative, everyone has his own truth, i.e., THERE CAN BE NO UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES in the 1st place.
2) The survival of the fittest:
Wealthy people are the best, the smartest, the most trustworthy, they work the hardest. and are expert in just about everything, etc., and one has to emulate them.
After all, everyone could have been Bill Gates if they just worked as hard as Bill Gates, right?
What follows is that the unemployed, the poor, etc. are useless eaters and parasites, trying to rob the honest American taxpayer of his hard-earned money.
The giant corporation can pay no taxes because they work so hard and are essential for the capitalist economy and capitalism is the best economic system there was is or ever will be, regardless how much it might hurt every now and then and even if it turns into corporate fascism.
3) A business approach/cost-benefit analysis is the best way to deal with anything from government and geopolitics to interpersonal relationships.
“The business of America is business” (including medicine, of course).
4) The most important thing in the world is personal comfort, and personal “freedom” which boils down to being free to do absolutely anything as an individual as long as it is not getting together and petitioning the government, etc., or, God forbid, forming militias as per the Constitution, or “calling for a collective action” (which, I think, is now illegal in the US).
5) Everyone can sue everybody else for anything and even ruin their lives by doing so.
The one to win will be the one who has money for the best attorneys (or who can buy the most witnesses, or is friends with a DA).
@Reader
I think the ability to manipulate a man’s income can work to separate them from their principles under many circumstances – such struggles act to reveal character more than forming it, I believe. Having stated this, I believe the point you may be missing related to the doctors, and it isn’t entirely accurate, is that many of the doctors/nurses are currently undergoing a great persecution, themselves. It is being conducted, to a large extent, by doctors on doctors, which is why it is so effective. Had it been the political class alone moving against the physicians, it would be a moment in which doctors could close ranks and even if some doctors believed this and others believed that, they could support each other to the extent that they should each be permitted to advise there own patients based on their own clinical expertise.
But the political class via the Pharma has captured a large swath of the medical community by close association and other means – both financial and institutional – to work their divisions in the medical community. You should go back and watch the testimonies before the Texas Senate by Dr. McCullough and Dr. Urso regarding the level of manipulation and personal threats that they endured just to medicate their patients. Their testimonies are quite disturbing to view, especially Dr. Urso. These men, each highly respected experts in their own areas of practice, were quite traumatized by their efforts to pursue reasonable medical care of their patients. But such trauma’s were brought forth by fellow physicians, largely. It is something similar, though to a limited point, to the French Resistance in WWII – the inner strength of such common people in France is very atypical of doctors in general, and yet, they, alone, held the key to ending this corrupt swindle on the world’s public at the expense of the world’s health.
Some have been bold enough for the task while others have delayed their forsworn obligations. Hence, having failed the test of their Oaths, this excess burden has been left to these heroic physicians to manage. To demonstrate this, Dr. Urso has recently related that a colleague of his is treating 300 Covid patients per day. And I don’t think this division of men of inner strength is unique to this age, over any other. Many people hold an inner firmness waiting for circumstances to expose their fortitude, while others are weak, unfaithful cowards. Each of these groups exist in every age, and in every industry. It is hard to separate the two before any of us are brought to such tests of fortitude, I think.
@peloni
I think that a century ago (at least before the WW I), in Europe at least, if a government tried to impose this kind of policy (no treatment allowed), all the doctors and nurses would simply walk out.
These days they either don’t take the Hippocratic oath anymore or they’ve decided that it is toilet paper.
I am sure at least some of these health workers who are cowards and money grabbers in real life profess a belief in God!

That is how it works in the US, not sure about the Israeli health system. The US hospital system is quite flushed with taxpayer cash currently. Mind you this is not historically true, but the Cares Act and several bills since have each placed billions of dollars in the hands of what were failing hospitals. The funds were patient based, so financial stipend was an added support to find Covid in every patient possible. If someone presented with flu symptoms, and tested negative, the patient could be coded as being diagnosed with Covid if they were in a city associated with positive cases. If a patient tested positive, the entire floor of patients could be coded for Covid.
The most disturbing consequence of this faked data is that once a patient was coded as Covid positive, there was a CDC guidance restricting treatment. This is not to say no doctors broke this protocol or that no patient was treated, but no doctor did so without exposing himself to be reported and have his license challenged. Fellow clinicians were responsible for such reporting and in some countries they have pursued more intimidating practices In Australia they have recently made it a jail-able offense for a doctor to treat Covid and in South Africa doctors have actually been imprisoned for doing so. This is all so corrupt and criminally structured towards reporting false figures of positive cases while simultaneously abandoning sick people to lie in a bed, struggling to breathe while masked. And the Federal financial support went up significantly when a patient was placed on a ventilator.
This false reporting of people as Covid positive is continuing to this day due to the financial benefit of doing so. The Cares Act set aside $10billion for 10 hospital systems as long as quotas of positive cases were met. I suspect this policy was likely continued in the successive Covid legislation as the mass over-reporting is continued.
@peloni
I don’t know about Israel but in the US doesn’t the hospital make more money when a patient stays longer?
I am not familiar with the way it works.
@Adam
One likely reason for the mildly ill to be in the hospital is the Remdesivir treatment. It requires an 8 day hospital stay. It is the only CDC authorized treatment of the Covid disease, in spite of the fact that it has been shown that “remdesivir treatment was associated with prolonged hospitalization but was not associated with improved survival” from a recent review of those treated with it.
This report from Arutz Sheva raises several troubling questions.
Why are 926 patients hospitalized but only 559 are “seriously ill?” In other words some 375 patients who are not considered seriously ill are nevertheless hospitalized. Is it normal practice in Israel or any other country to hospitalize patients who are not considered seriously ill? That obviously reduces the number of beds available to patients who are seriously ill. Why are Israeli hospitals doing this?
Less than 600 seriously ill patients out of a total of 53,000 cases means that almost 99 per cent of people diagnosed with CV2-19 disease are not seriously ill. This doesn’t sound like an illness that poses a serious threat to public health. It rather suggests an illness that only causes mild symptoms in most patients.
How many people have become seriously ill with other diseases during this same period? Heart disease? The various forms of cancer? Tuberculosis? Parkinson’s disease? Pneumonia not connected to cv-2? Influenza, which is easily misdiagnosed as cv-2 because of the similarity of its symptoms, and has similar rates of serious illness and death?
32 people are reported to have died of coronavius disease iover the past week. During the same period, how many people died of the various other diseases that I have mentioned, as well as those I didn’t mention? How any were killed in car accidents? Murdered? Committed suicide? Died of drug overdoses? 32 deaths per week on an annualized basis amounts to1,500 to 1,600 deaths per year. Not an especially high death rate for a serious illness.
Clearly this disease has been “hyped” into a pandemic when it is actually a fairly mild illness for most who contract it. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, masks, and vaccinations with drugs that have not been properly tested is not a rational response to a disease that causes relatively few severe illnesses and deaths.
@Reader
Malone is too effective a mole to offer the opposition to the medical administrative state and this opposition is too impotent and too easily monitored by the administrative state to warrant offering this opposition such a significant advocate against the efforts in support of the vax. It has been learned that Malone had been considered a candidate for a Nobel Prize and a mentor of his has expressed anger that he had “f***** ” his chances due to his recent advocacy against the vax. In truth, Malone’s strongest objection in all of this is the use of coercive techniques and a lack of frank disclosure of the possible side effects as it undermines proper informed consent. His participation against the forced vaccinations is quite important, but it is not a complete opposition to the vaccines, and it never was. So, I don’t think he is a mole for the medical administrative state, but quite the opposite, really.
@peloni
Could Dr. Malone’s role there consist of keeping track of what the “opposition” is up to, who the members are, and to thwart their efforts and report their actions and rhetoric to you-know-who?
One can’t serve two masters.
@adamdalgliesh
I don’t remember where I got this info from (recently) but apparently the Israeli Hebrew language media has absolutely NO discussion of the merits or side effects of the vaccine.
It is just “the vaccine will save us from corona”, “the anti-vaxxers are a danger to society”, etc.
So it seems to be a real case of mass psychosis.
@peloni
I agree with you.
However, I am convinced that there is a reason for withholding treatments and transferring the practice of medicine from the medical doctors to the politicians.
If the PTB ever allow these medications to be in use again to be prescribed or recommended by doctors, they will take their own sweet time to decide and will only return them if and when it is convenient and necessary to them, and then, of course, they will be lauded as benevolent powers who responded to the “voice of the people”.
I can go into more detail about what I think the whole COVID affair is for, if you’d like.
It is very frustrating because if these doctors are right, we are witnessing not only the greatest crime in history but the ONLY PERFECT CRIME in history.
Imagine to yourself that the governments of most countries in the world decide to withhold antibiotics for treatment of bacterial pneumonia – because the Pharma has developed a new vaccine of the same quality as the COVID one (at a “whirlwind speed”) to save the world from a “new” strain of pneumonia and to be given first to the elderly, etc.
The bacterial pneumonia without antibiotics has a 30-40% death rate.
Most of the doctors go along with it without a murmur, etc.
The public eagerly runs to get vaccinated and thinks that without the vaccine thing would have been a lot worse.
Need I say more?
The saying that “the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again while expecting different results,” is a wise one, even if , as various fact-checkers report, Albert Einstein never said it. In the same vein is something that I believe George Bernard Shaw actually did say, “a fanatic is one who, having lost sight of his objectives, redoubles his efforts.” Both of these aphorisms accurately describe what the Israeli government is now doing. Its efforts to persuade all adults to be vaccinated against the Covid virus failed. Cases declined for about six months, but how now begun to increase again. The Israeli governments response is to try to force everyone, even young children, to be vaccinated. But if Israel’s first vaccination campaign failed to eliminiate the Covid illness, why do the Israelis think that a second, even more thorough and energeticly pursued one aimed at forcing everyone to be vaccinated will be any more successful
@Adam
@Reader
Dr. Malone is closely associated with the CDC/FDA and has many close contacts within the medical administrative state, as it were, and his role in this group is very important, which is why much of the conference was built around his commentary. You may have noted his repeated statement “if I am going to be a part of this….”. His association with this effort is important, not only due to his unique research background in the gene therapy/vaccines, but also due to his perspectives on what will or will not be seen as acceptable to the PTB, to use @Reader’s term. It should also be acknowledged that, though his participation in this dialogue is significant, he is not a practicing physician.
I was disappointed that Malone requested that they ‘negotiate’ the content of the consensus letter offline, beyond our view. In any event, I suspect that he intended to lay down the limits of what either he would support or what he felt the PTB would consider worthy of opening a dialogue with the group, and he did mention both of these to some extent in the online discussion. It should be noted that if the use of HCQ/IVM protocols are returned to the authority of the primary care physicians, the health and financial harms associated with this plague might be quickly resolved with Israel leading the way towards this end. The emphasis against the vaccines is important, but quite secondary to the advocacy for the use of treatments, as the use of treatments will eliminate any necessity of the vaccine
Me too.
I remembered these two because their views were unique and I saw their names before in other publications, videos, or posts.
Personally, I find their “selectivity” disturbing.
If this vaccine is indeed as dangerous as they claim, their selectivity really smacks more of eugenics/euthanasia than of caring for the “high risk population”.
By this logic, the “high risk” cannot risk death from COVID, and they should “protect” themselves with what these doctors claim is a useless and dangerous vaccine but they CAN risk death or disability from the same vaccine which just might save their lives despite being useless and dangerous because they cannot risk death from COVID because they belong to a “high risk” category (you can keep going in circles endlessly here)?
This doesn’t make sense to me at all.
The only logic I see in it is that some lives (elderly, obese, chronically ill, immunocompromised, etc.) are cheaper than others (as long as they are not theirs, of course – for theirs they’d just use Zelenko protocol instead of the vaccine – “isn’t this obvious?”).
There are plenty of older unvaccinated people who really are not “high risk” at all, otherwise all of them should have been dead by now according to the “experts”.
Reader–thanks for the correction concerning who the “dissenter” in the group who supports the cv2-19 vaccines who was indeed Dr. Malone, not Dr. Merritt. I have great difficulty keeping people’s names straight. I was never good with names, but my difficulty remembering them correctly has increased with old age. Just call me Joe.
I also agree with you that it was Dr. Malone’s work developing the mNRA technology as well as numerous vaccines and his close relationship with numerous government agencies that are strong promoters of the Covid19 vaccines explains why he favors the vaccination program. However, even DR Malone seems to think the vaccinations should be more selective, focusing on those in “high risk groups” rather than healthy young people.
If those doctors are right, then Israel is finished.
I have a couple of hypotheses on how COVID may benefit the PTB, the giant corporations, and the richest of the world (which are, likely, the same thing)
BUT
What is in it for Israel (other than the final Holocaust)?
@adamdalgliesh
The doctor you call Robert Merritt, I think you mean Dr. Malone.
His views are the most “balanced” ones of the 15 doctors because he is the developer of the mRNA technology, and he also hinted at his close relationship with the American weapons research and development agencies such as DARPA.
Dr. Lee Merritt who was a surgeon in the military was horrified at the possibility of the mandatory COVID vaccination of the American military, especially its air force given the side effect of myocarditis in young people which can manifest in heart attacks and cardiac arrests.
I think it was a mistake on their part that they decided to ask for a partial ban on the COVID vaccines instead of a complete ban because it weakens their case.
Anyway, those letters are useless.
As far as Israel’s situation is concerned – the more they test, the more “cases” they are going to uncover.
Wait ’til families will start using all those home test kits for their school age children plus the onset of the official annual flu season.
A Board Certified Occupational Therapy Practitioner Whistleblower. Anyone who is unconvinced of the lack of qualified care that is being administered to the elderly due to this overreliance upon a flawed overly sensitive test, should watch this 10min video. This is disgraceful.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/snvoNdcBzaAZ/
The majority, although not all, of the 15 panelists in this video favor at least a temporary ban on further vaccinations, until adequate studies are made of its long-term effects. All but possibly one of the panelists agree that the emergency use authorization was wrong, and that the vaccines should have been subjected to the normal 4-5 year testing process normally required by Federal regulators before a vaccine is authorized for general use by th public.
One of the 15, I think his name is Robert Merritt, is more or less a supporter of the vaccines. The other 14 think that the vaccines are, or probably are, harmful to the public over the long run. And even Dr. Merritt is critical of the Federal regulators for failing to release all of the data they have on illnesses and deaths suffered by people post-vaccination.
One of the doctors claims that the data submitted by the Pfizer and Moderna companies to support their original requests for emergency use permission submitted to the FDA and CDC in 2020 did not show any reduction in Covid cases or covid-related deaths among those indviduals tested by these companies, when compared to the general population of the United States. This physician-panelist, can’t remember his name, who claimed he was onlyreporting the companies’ own statistics now on file with the FDA and CDC, not giving his personal opinion.
This was printed in The Lancet(very prestigious medical journal). It is a very important review of the efficacies of the many vaccines and shows that EUA data detailing the effective use of the vaccines are: 1.3% for the AstraZeneca–Oxford, 1.2% for the Moderna, 1.2% for the J&J, 0.93% for the Gamaleya, and 0.84% for the Pfizer. The distinction between the RRR and ARR(defined below) is quite important in determining how many people are needed to vaccinate to prevent 1 additional Covid case(NNV).

@Adam
A very important video. It is not short(2hrs 15min), but provides a very rigorous and frank conversation by the many physicians and scientists that we have all been watching in separate interviews.
https://inoneplace.com/thewatch/item/a7VKK4WS0hA1874. This Roundtable discussion of the Covid crisis by 15 physicians, medical scientists and a public health administrator, several of whom have clinical experience treating Covid19 patients, and several others who have laboratory experience examining samples of the virus, is easily the best, most informative video about Covid available on the internet. A must viewing and hearing for anyone who wants to learn about the harmful and/or potentially harmful side effects of the Covid vaccines.
Several of these physicians fear their will be a worldwide crisis of severe illnesses other than Covid19, including heart disease and possibly cancer and infertility, as a result of the overuse of vaccines. Some also fear that the vaccines may eventually force an “evolutionary response” from the virus, as new strains that are resistant to the vaccines develop, making Covid more, not less prevalent, thereby triggering a massive increase in CV-2 patients.
The 15 physicians recommend that the vaccines should not be given to under the age of 35, exept if the have underlying conditions that make Covid19 a serious threat to them. All of them recommend making thereputics such as hydroxichloriquine and ivervection available to the public, allowing doctors to presribe to their patients whatever they believe, based on their medical trying, are the best meds to treat the illness.
