‘80% of serious COVID cases are fully vaccinated’ says Ichilov hospital director | Israel National News – Arutz Sheva

Are Israeli hospitals really overloaded with unvaccinated COVID patients? According to Prof. Yaakov Jerris, director of Ichilov Hospitalโ€™s coronavirus ward, the situation is completely opposite.

โ€œRight now, most of our severe cases are vaccinated,โ€ Jerris told Channel 13 News. โ€œThey had at least three injections. Between seventy and eighty percent of the serious cases are vaccinated.

So, the vaccine has no significance regarding severe illness, which is why just twenty to twenty-five percent of our patients are unvaccinated.โ€

Jerris also revealed some of the confusion in reporting cases. Speaking at a cabinet meeting on Sunday, he told ministers, โ€œDefining a serious patient is problematic.

For example, a patient with a chronic lung disease always had a low level of oxygen, but now he has a positive coronavirus test result which technically makes him a โ€˜serious coronavirus patient,โ€™ but thatโ€™s not accurate.

The patient is only in a difficult condition because he has a serious underlying illness.โ€

โ€œ70-80% of the serious cases are vaccinated. They had at least three injections. The vaccine has no significance regarding severe illness” said Prof Yaakov Jerris, director of Ichilov Hospitalโ€™s coronavirus ward. israelnationalnews.com/news/321674
