It's really important to check sources. What Reuters isn't sharing is that they're quoting YNet. No one in this country takes that paper seriously. It's literally a garbage tabloid. They literally publish articles for the sake of publishing article updates. Their Hebrew articles say the exact reverse - that the Pfizer vaccine is very effective against the South African variant, yet still a garbage newspaper.

- joegelman 6y agoAs an American living in Israel, can 100% confirm this.
- throwaway4good 6y agoWe should be looking at the actual paper: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.04.06.21254882v1 https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.04.06.21254882v...
- richzad 6y agoIsn’t YNet just quoting Reuters? They reference Reuters in the title area. Several Israeli news sources have an article with almost the same title. Which Israeli news source would you recommend instead?
- cik 6y agoIn English, I wouldn't recommend any of them, they're all pure garbage. Other than English speakers who cannot Hebrew - I've never met anyone who thinks they're a news source. Radio is by far the best news source in this country - it's a country of sound bytes. In Hebrew, I'd recommend reading Haaretz (https://www.haaretz.co.il/ https://www.haaretz.co.il/), or ynet Hebrew (https://www.ynet.co.il/ https://www.ynet.co.il/). In Arabic, the best paper is probably Al Ittihad (https://www.alittihad44.com/ https://www.alittihad44.com/). Quality varies, but all three are reasonable quality in their own languages, and for the region, relatively unbiased.
