Another two pregnant mothers were recently hospitalized in Israel in serious condition in Hillel Yaffe Hospital in Hadera after contracting the coronavirus.
Doctors delivered the babies of the women, both in their 20s, by emergency C-section.
A third woman, in the late stages of pregnancy, is currently hospitalized in moderate but stable condition.
Apart from the three women, there are over 70 coronavirus patients hospitalized in Hillel Yaffe’s coronavirus wards, including three critically ill patients and 44 seriously ill patients. One of the patients is a 16-year-old teenager who is currently in moderate condition.
“We’ve been seeing a rise in serious coronavirus cases in the younger population,” said Dr. Mickey Dudkiewicz, the director of Hillel Yaffe. “Just a week ago, we had a 36-year-old man who was sedated and ventilated. Fortunately, he stabilized and is now in mild condition.”
“We’re also seeing a worrying trend of serious cases in pregnant women. This virus is deceptive – it can cause a serious deterioration from one moment to another even with the best professional care. I call on people to continue to be vaccinated and especially to continue adhering to guidelines.”

Wonder, did they take the vaccine?
Amazing the country with the highest vaccination rate keeps on reporting such horrible news.

Seeing as Israel only started to allow under-35s to get vaccinated last week it is unlikely that these women were vaccinated.
Maybe 1) think before you open your mouth and 2) do some real research before spreading fake news about the vaccine.
