Israel has long been a leader in the prevention of the Coronavirus infection.

It is a country known to have a large percentage of its nationals vaccinated against the Coronavirus.

Here is an interesting protocol applied in Israel:

The leaders have limited “entry to any indoor event with 100 people to attendees with valid vaccination cards, certificates of recovery, or recent negative COVID tests.

In addition, limits to entry will also be imposed, regardless of number of attendees, on all sports and cultural events, gyms, restaurants, and dining halls, conferences, synagogues . . . .” (1)

Personally, this was a tactic that I thought would be great early on in the Coronavirus surge:

For those who’ve had the virus and can prove recovery with a validated doctor’s script or now, for those who are fully vaccinated, allowing these individuals access to larger gatherings, etc. (e.g. – sports programs, larger social events, etc.) Obviously, for those at high risk, they should personally abstain from such gatherings (or those who have higher risk household members and contacts.)

fyi – Interesting fact: The country’s first case was from a returning traveler on the Diamond Princess. (link)

Have you wondered what are the facts regarding those who are vaccinated against Covid-19?

• Do they get the virus?
• How severe, if they do?
• Has anyone died from Coronavirus once fully vaccinated?

To answer these questions, let’s look at some statistics:

According to the CDC, as of the end of July 2021, 6,587 people who were fully vaccinated were hospitalized or died from Covid-19. (1)

In the Provincetown, Massachusetts outbreak of July 2021, of those fully vaccinated, 8 out of 10 individuals had Coronavirus symptoms. (1)

So according to these and other statistics, a fully vaccinated person:

• Can get Coronavirus
• Can have symptoms of the illness
• Can get sick enough to need hospital care
• Can die as a result of Covid-19 infection
