Billw, I am looking at Israel’s covid new case rate, which stopped declining about 5 days ago and is heading back up, as the rest of the world declines steeply.  The rest of the world new case rate is about 2/3 what is was 4 weeks ago.  But Israel is over 80% of it’s post-…Hannukah(?) peak and rising, as it leads the world by a huge margin in number of vaccines distributed: 62 vaccines per 100 population, vs second place UK at about 16 and third place USA at 11.

 

So… Israel is waaaay ahead in vaccines, but the USA is at about half its peak new case rate (4 wks ago) and UK is at about a third its peak new case rate.

 

I am compelled to suspect the vaccines Israel is using are not working.  

 

I can think of a number of explanations, such as: 

 

*	some kind of really bad testing anomaly (unlikely),
*	intentional misinformation (unlikely), 
*	genetic resistance to the therapy (unlikely), 
*	an intentionally infected batch of vaccine (unlikely),
*	improper administration of vaccine (unlikely),
*	systematic failure to vaccinate the most vulnerable (vaguely plausible)

 

or perhaps…

 

Israel is being sold counterfeit vaccines.

 

Your thoughts please.
