Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison stated on Sunday that Australia has surpassed Israel in the number of residents who received their first coronavirus vaccine dose.
“Today Australia has overtaken Israel on first doses of a COVID vaccine – having already overtaken the US and Germany – and we’re continuing to move up the board,” Morrison wrote on Facebook.
According to Morrison, 70.63% of Aussies have received at least one vaccine dose, versus 70.56% of Israelis.
In other vaccine news, Israel’s Health Ministry announced on Monday that the administration of AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccines will begin Thursday. The AstraZeneca vaccine has not been available in Israel until now.
The vaccines will only be given to those unable to receive vaccines based on mRNA technology, which includes the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
Israelis over 18 who bring a referral from a doctor can receive the AstraZeneca vaccine at their Kupat Cholim.

Australia holds them selves “BIG” that it held its citizens at house arrest until they got vaccinated!!!

You beat a lot of people! Australia beat up plenty of Jews especially during the pandemic!
Of course the people ran to be vaccinated
They’ve been beaten, deprived of the most basic of freedoms, ignored by their government, and threatened with severe consequences if they don’t comply.
This is their get out of jail pass

RT, you are the moron. And so is that stupid chief minister. There is no comparison between NT and TX. But even if there were, the damage Australia has done to itself is far greater than the people who may have been given a few more months of life. It was completely not worth it. It would have been far better, both here and there, if nothing had been done and they’d just have let those people die.
