Dr. Yonatan Georgi, a doctor at the ICU unit in Sheba Hospital in Tel HaShomer took several precious moments from his overloaded schedule to convey important messages to the public regarding the coronavirus, Kikar H’Shabbos reported.
“I’m a doctor in the ICU treating seriously ill coronavirus patients from the beginning of the pandemic,” he said. “I don’t usually speak to the media but I have a number of important points to convey since this is a matter of saving lives and also due to the burnout healthcare professionals are enduring due to the tremendous emotional and physical resources needed to care for coronavirus patients.”
“Perhaps the most important message is that of obesity as an underlying risk factor. The majority of seriously ill patients in the coronavirus ICU are obese or overweight. And therefore, anyone in this category, regardless of age, don’t walk to be vaccinated – run to be vaccinated!”
“My second message is that the media lends too much weight to a handful of delusional people who are opposed to the vaccine without any scientific basis. In my opinion, [the media] therefore bears the responsibility for the death of dozens or hundreds of people.”
“The vaccine is safe and very effective against the coronavirus. It is not effective against Bell’s palsy, myocarditis, stroke, and a host of other diseases including death for a variety of reasons. Therefore, as long as these other diseases continue to exist during the vaccination drive and as long as their prevalence does not exceed their usual numbers prior to the vaccination drive period, there is no connection between them and the vaccine, even if they developed in people after they were vaccinated.”
“The current wave, as represented by the patients currently in the coronavirus intensive care unit, is characterized by a number of patient groups: elderly people or people in high-risk groups who were not vaccinated due to apathy or distorted beliefs; Chareidim who weren’t vaccinated for ‘reasons of emunah’; and people who are at high-risk but were unaware of it until now, such as pregnant women.”
“I recommend that everyone over age 30 and all pregnant women hurry to be vaccinated.”

Of course now they’re trying to sell the vaccine through guilt. Vaccines actually are a cause of obesity. Best to stay away.
At least 12 months by independent opinions and research until we can see the more objective statistics.
Words to live by.
Your picture of an ICU (or operating room) is not designed to encourage one to get a vaccine. Vaccination does NOT involve a surgical team. While there are reasons to debate the safety, and especially and efficacy of the vaccines, the are no reasons to try scare people with sensational and irrelevant photographs.
But don’t run too fast and get a heart attack.
Hey, Lastword:
1) Care to elaborate on “Vaccines actually are a cause of obesity”?
2) When you tell us “At least 12 months by independent opinions and research until we can see the more objective statistics,” what are the name of the “independent opinions and research” folks you refer to?
How far along are they in their research? When can we expect to see the publication of their findings in a peer-reviewed journal?
lastword –
Little known fact: vaccines actually caused the Polio epidemic of 1894.
Overweight people should be running anyway, it helps get the weight off.
At the end of the article, DR. Georgi says anyone who develops a disease or serious medical condition (or dies) soon after getting the shot will not be considered to have been damaged by the vaccine until the frequency of this disease rises above the statistics of this year.
This means a completely healthy person with no signs of disease who suddenly develops a disease after the vaccination will be attributed to coincidence and not recorded in the medical files as a vaccine injury! Is this what they call medical science? or is it an evil, transparent attempt to cover-up the dangers of this vaccine? He will be the one to bear the responsibility of hundreds of deaths–not those who are worried about serious side-effects and don’t get vaccinated.
