Game Over for Pfizer's lab - Opinion

In March 2022, a few cases of polio were diagnosed in Israel. The infection was concluded to be a vaccine-derived polio virus.

As a result, Israel's Health Ministry announced a vaccination campaign using a weakened live vaccine.  

The campaign was an utter failure.

Out of approximately 500,000 children and youth, the target population, only ~25,000 (5%) showed up following a personal invitation.

Two of the reasons that were mentioned in the Israeli media:

“vaccination fatigue and lack of public trust”.

This was a clear no-confidence vote.

The lack of confidence was already reflected during the campaign to vaccinate the 5-11 age group (~200,000 children) in early 2022. Despite coercion and harassment (e.g. loss of green pass, repetitive home isolations), less than 18% of this age group got the first two doses.

In the first week of the first booster campaign for this age group and with no coercion measures and threats, only about 300 (1 in 660 or 0.15%) were brought by their parents to receive the shot.

Not ONLY the kids.

Many Israeli adults chose not to receive the required 3rd dose despite tough coercive measures at the time, losing their “right” to a green pass. 
A mere 13.6% of the population older than 18 opted for the 4th dose after it was recommended to them by Israel's Health Ministry.

Here are the graphs taken from Israel's Health Ministry's dashboard:

As can be seen, not many of the 12-15 year-olds, only about 15%, took the third dose. The third dose percentage (0.15%) for ages 5-11 is too low to be shown in the graph.* 

Israel's Health Ministry started 18 months ago with a COVID-19-fearful population and an impressive 98% routine vaccination rate history, unprecedented propaganda budget and legal powers to revoke basic human right from the vaccine hesitant.

They ended with way over 90% of the population vaccine-hesitant.

Good work Israel Health Ministry!

Was it your undisputable incompetence or is it the “safe and effective” holy vaccine?
