As Israel receives international recognition for its speedy and efficient vaccination campaign, it is, unfortunately, like many countries, facing a surge in morbidity.
“1,224,000 Israelis have been vaccinated,” Health Minister Yuli Edelstein tweeted on Monday morning. “We’re winning the vaccination race but we’re unfortunately losing the battle against the virus variant.”
“The rise in morbidity should worry all public officials who need to remember: their foremost responsibility is public health.”
1,224,000 מתחסנים עד עכשיו.
אנחנו מנצחים במירוץ החיסונים אבל לצערי מפסידים בקרב מול המוטציה.
העליה בתחלואה צריכה להדאיג כל נבחר ציבור שצריך לזכור: המחויבות הראשונה שלו היא בריאות הציבור. pic.twitter.com/D13Gag0C1n— Yuli Edelstein 🇮🇱 יולי אדלשטיין (@YuliEdelstein) January 4, 2021
As of Monday, about 12% of Israel’s population has been vaccinated and Israelis currently account for about 10% of people worldwide who have been vaccinated.
However, it’s possible that Israel may have to slow down or temporarily halt its vaccination campaign next week due to a temporary shortage of vaccines.
The shortage won’t affect those who already received their first doses, as there are enough second doses in storage to administer to all those requiring it.
According to a Kan News report on Sunday, Israel’s Kupot Cholim only have about 170,000 remaining first doses, less than a two-day supply as over 100,000 people are being vaccinated every day.
Israeli health officials are currently conducting negotiations with Pfizer to speed up its vaccine deliveries from February to January.

We will win the battle only when we all recognize Who it’s coming from. Feeling overly smug about conquering Covid because your slick, streamlined medical system is getting large segments of the population vaccinated very quickly?
BOOM! BAM! BOP! You get hit over the head to show you that you’re NOT in control!
SOMEONE else is and perhaps He will enable Covid to be conquered when we admit to the fact that He pulls all the strings to lead us to the recognition that אין עוד מלבדו – there is no power in the heavens or the earth other than Hashem.
🛑 URGENT:
Every Person Must have a Covid Plan.
IMMEDIATELY AT FIRST SYMPTOM:
1. Azithromycin
2. HCQ Hydroxychloroquine
3. Zinc
4. Vitamin C
5. Tylenol every 4 hours at night
6. Remdesivir
7. Demand REGENERON if coughing or short of breath
8. Sunlight and Vit D
9. Sleep Reclining Upright, NOT FLAT
10. Drink Emergen-C with Zinc
IF SHORT OF BREATH add:
1. Test Blood Oxygen
2. Get Passive Oxygen
3. Prednisone
4. Regeneron or other Monoclonal Antibodies Treatment!
A High Percent of Covid 19 Patients in Hospitals Die alone on
High Pressure Ventilators!
Many have gone from NONE or Only Very Late Stage medical strategies, Straight to
HIGH PRESSURE VENTILATORS and Death.
🛑 MANY PEOPLE WHO START FEELING SICK ARE NEVER TOLD MEDICAL THERAPIES TO HELP THEM PREVENT SEVERE ILLNESS!
🛑 The First 24-48 Hours are VITAL TO START TREATMENTS, as with All Virus, to Slow Replication of the Virus!
WSJ reported that Hospitals and Drs are only Giving out 10% of the MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES Meds they have, and CUOMO has only Distributed 20% of the VACCINES he got. Many people get no medical treatments beyond Deadly Ventilators in ICU.
🛑 YOU MUST HAVE A COVID PLAN TO HELP SAVE YOUR FAMILY’s LIVES.
HATZOLAH and JEWISH LEADERSHIP MUST HELP People achieve these Life Saving Goals
