In most states, a person is only considered fully vaccinated fourteen days after they have had the full series of the vaccine.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>This means that anyone coming into an American hospital who has only had one dose, or who has had both vaccines but had the second one less than two weeks prior, will likely be counted as \u201cunvaccinated.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So what information is the CDC basing its decisions about Covid on? The only honest numbers we are getting are coming from Israel.<\/p>\n<p>The article includes the following chart:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IsrealJulyCovidCases.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-43076 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IsrealJulyCovidCases.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"614\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IsrealJulyCovidCases.jpg 614w, https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IsrealJulyCovidCases-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IsrealJulyCovidCases-424x300.jpg 424w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is a lot of information in this chart that totally contradicts what the American media is reporting. Note the high number of cases in people between the ages of 40 and 49. Also note the low number of cases in those over the age of 70.<\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>In countries with the highest numbers of vaccinated individuals, we are also seeing high numbers of infections. Iceland has one of the most vaccinated populations in the world (over 82 percent) and is reporting that 77 percent of new COVID cases are in fully vaccinated Icelanders, according to \u00c1sthildur Kn\u00fatsd\u00f3ttir, Director General of the Ministry of Health.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>According to news reports, over 85 percent of the Israeli adult population has been vaccinated. But a July report from Israel\u2019s Ministry of Health found that Pfizer\u2019s vaccine is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/07\/23\/delta-variant-pfizer-covid-vaccine-39percent-effective-in-israel-prevents-severe-illness.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">only 39 percent effective<\/a>. Though Israeli health officials are telling the public that the cases are more mild in vaccinated individuals, this upsurge in COVID cases and deaths is leading Israel\u2019s prime minister to issue new restrictions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Dr. Peter McCullough, an academic internist and cardiologist in practice in Dallas, Texas, says that a large number of people in the hospitals right now have, indeed, been fully vaccinated. \u201cFully vaccinated people are being hospitalized, and \u2026 19 percent of them have died,\u201d McCullough says. \u201cThis is not a crisis of the unvaccinated. That\u2019s just a talking point. The vaccinated are participating in this.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Other physicians are seeing the same thing. \u201cIn my practice multiple patients who are fully vaccinated have been admitted to local hospitals,\u201d says Dr. Jeffrey I. Barke, a board-certified primary care physician based in Newport Beach, California. Barke believes part of the problem is exaggeration of the efficacy: \u201cIf the vaccine works so well, why are we now pushing a booster?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a very good question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday The Epoch Times posted an article about people being hospitalized for Covid.
