It is worth adding that the Israeli government is very aggressively pushing vaccination. So aggressively that there is a notable movement of people who oppose to get vaccinated because of the blatant violations to basic human rights in a democratic country.
At the very beginning of vaccination in Israel the demand was very high, since all those waiting for the vaccine rushed and went to get it asap. Now that most of the elderly are already vaccinated and the government is placing sanctions against people who are not vaccinated (can't go shopping for clothes, can't go to sport events, can't go to the gym, can't go to cultural events, etc...) the younger generation is much less anxious to get vaccinated. This is causing the vaccine centers stand mostly idle for the recent month.
The government and media in Israel have also started mentioning that they are anxiously waiting for Phizer to test the vaccines on children 12+yo and are preparing to vaccine children as soon as possible. Some speak out about vaccinating children even before the trials are complete.
At the same time, there is a little known "cure" that was developed in a Tel Aviv hospital that has been tried on 30 people who were in a severe condition due to covid. 29 of them went home after two days. All it took is a little bit of ventilation several times a day.

- enjoyyourlife 6y agoThis article (https://apnews.com/article/israel-misinformation-coronavirus-pandemic-local-governments-museums-462b98e0ff0d7d5bf4400c84a61047b2 https://apnews.com/article/israel-misinformation-coronavirus...) provides some evidence for what is said in that comment
- _0o6v 6y agoSpecifically the last claim of a "cure"
- arkitaip 6y agoAggressive comes of as a weasel word here; what does it even mean in a context where a pandemic has killed hundreds of thousands? It's redicilious that even with the hindsight if israel's fantastically successful vaccination program, people are still anti-vac.
- ImaCake 6y ago>At the same time, there is a little known "cure" that was developed in a Tel Aviv hospital that has been tried on 30 people I want to make it really clear that I am downvoting you for this last sentence. N=30 and no link to a publication is insufficient information for anyone to be talking about it except those organising the next (much larger) trial. Right now, what you say cannot be verified and appears to me to be a comfortable lie to support an anti-vaxxer view. I don't know where I stand on coercive tactics to get vaccinated, they are for a noble goal, but such tactics can be very dangerous or backfire.
- edanm 6y agoJust to back OP up a bit, this was indeed heavily publicized in the Israeli press. Though obviously your caveats apply - it's too early to tell if this is a real cure for COVID since it's just one experiment.
