The Israeli initiative to develop a COVID-19 vaccine has been labeled a “failure” by State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman in a recent report. The report accuses the Institute for Biological Research of providing misleading information to officials regarding the progress and cost of the project, leading to a waste of funds and resources.

According to the report, NIS 230 million ($63.5 million) was invested in the vaccine project before it was abandoned in July 2022. The report states that even though such investment may have been acceptable in the initial emergency period, it cannot be condoned if it contradicts proper practice rules after that.

Former chief of the institute, Professor Shmuel Shapira, was also criticized sharply in the report. He was singled out for sending a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which led the premier to authorize the production of the vaccine.

  1. Main reason it was a failure us became 🇮🇱 became beholden to Pfizer, and with wisdom of hindsight, Moderna was a more effective vaccination

  2. The Israeli Health Ministry and their ilk along with Bibi should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity by forcing Israelis to take a non experimental shot that caused millions of injuries and so many deaths. Today I just got another message that a previously very healthy Frum yid who was boosted is very sick from an unusual neurological disease, r’l. This person is in so much pain but unable to connect the dots. Doctors do not know how to help him, Hashem Yerachem.

  3. In America that would be just a rounding error.
    To mig2’s point. It is not the shot that is the problem, but in many western countries they are not administered properly at all. There are places that don’t have these problems. The prevention is to aspirate the needle. End of story. Many experts were screaming as loudly as they could, but lazy governments would not listen. This used to be a common procedure, aspiration, I’ve once heard.
