Israel will not follow the recommendation of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which announced on Monday that fully-vaccinated Americans can gather indoors without wearing masks or maintaining social distancing, Kan News reported on Tuesday.
All Israeli citizens are still required to wear masks in public spaces, without exceptions.
Senior Israeli Heath Ministry officials told Kan that Israel does not yet support the measure as there is still a lack of information on whether those who are vaccinated can still contract the virus and transmit it to others while remaining aysmptomatic.
Coronavirus czar Prof. Nachman Ash told Kan: “For now at least, when we’re not yet aware of how much protection the vaccines provide against transmission, we want to maintain an additional protection factor.”

Thats great for us in the u.s.to know. Thanks for publishing!
Given the success Israel has had fighting the virus by using masks, I think they’re doing the right thing, don’t you? After all, the masks have certainly offered as much support in battling the pandemic as did lock-downs. And quarantines. And empowering the average secular policeman (whose IQ is about 3) with the task of beating up charedi 13 year-old girls who wouldn’t comply with their masking/lock-down orders.
Oops. Those measures didn’t work very well either, did they? Or perhaps didn’t work at all. Or perhaps made matters worse.
But what do I know. I’m no doctor, no scientist, and certainly no expert. And most importantly, I’m clearly not as wise as the holy CDC…
I’ll bet my kidney the vaccine does more to stop transmission than a loose fitting piece of cheesecloth. C’mon Israel.
And the insanity continues…
And the Arabs cheer-“we finally got them converted!”
The CDC says that vaccinated individuals can go maskless when with other vaccinated people. This is because a vaccinated person can no longer catch the virus due to the antibodies their body has produced. If Israel is afraid to allow vaccinated people to go maskless when with each other (note the CDC guidelines do not state that individuals can go maskless when with others who have not been vaccinated) then they do not believe that the vaccine is capable of causing the body to produce antibodies. If they do not have confidence in their own vaccine, they can not be surprised when so many are afraid to take this vaccine. If they want to boost confidence that the vaccine works, they need to prove it by showing that they do not fear that a vaccinated individual can catch the virus. Until then, many will hold off on getting the vaccine.
CDC has a record of their exe(s) retiring and then employed by Monsanto Corp. Any possibility of corruption ???
This is a classic example to me as a goy of morality. Only the observant who strive to maintain a high degree of wisdom/morality can in my opinion be 90 % trusted !!!!
A goy,
