I read that too CBob and its fabulous news. I think that Israel is going to have to do the rest of their trials outside the country though since they have vaccinated nearly their entire population. That is an incredible feat.

Very limited study. It needs a lot of further study.

I assume they are covering their ass until it's somehow proven that it's helpful.

There’s been so much misinformation since this pandemic started that I am ecstatic that I’m vaccinated and I don’t have to keep up with all that b.s.

by ferret Sun Feb 07, 2021 11:40 pm

For the rest of us who haven't yet been vaccinated... perhaps the whining about delayed vaccine doses will now be put to rest...

Good data coming out of Israel's vaccination program...

That is promising. The one common thread is that CV 19 is here to stay and that booster shots will be required for years like with the flu.

Here’s two different scenarios.
Scenario #1
Go on the Internet, give your name, DOB, last 4 digits of SS#
You show up at appointed time, give the same info, in-and-out in about 25 min. A very pleasurable experience.
Scenario #2
Time and number of available vaccines announced on tv
Car lines start to form 24hrs before the 6:00 am start. Many are turned away.

There are scenario #2 all around me and cause a lot of chaos and complaints. I hope something better than this happens in Mexico.
I’m sure Israel is much better organized.
