[Cairo = Mitsuru Kaite]Vaccination with the new corona virus is proceeding at the fastest rate in the world in Israel. Twenty percent of the population has already completed the first vaccine and the government aims to inoculate more than 50% by mid-March. Prime Minister Netanyaf himself has become “first” and is actively promoting vaccination, and it appears that vaccination is being used as a support tool for the March general elections.
◆ More than half of the 9.2 million population is expected to end by mid-March
According to the Ministry of Health and others, inoculation progresses at a rate of 150,000 people a day, with 19.5% of the population of about 9.2 million completing the first dose and 72% of those 60 years of age or older. . In the future, the number will increase to 170,000 per day and 5 million people are expected to complete the inoculation by mid-March.
On the 10th, between 700,000 and 800,000 doses of the vaccine developed jointly by the major US pharmaceutical company Pfizer and others arrived by air. “We have agreed with our friend, CEO Physer, to continue sending vaccines to Israel until the end of the vaccination,” said Netanyaf, who met at the airport.
◆ Experts say: “Try to distract the public” from the alleged corruption of the Prime Minister.
In Israel, parliament was dissolved over the budget plan at the end of last year, and the fourth general election was decided since April 2019. Mr. Netanyaf is eager to publicize his achievements, such as broadcasting his vaccination on television while Criticism of the government increases due to the economic recession caused by the new Crown and accusations of corruption. “There is no doubt that it is for the elections. The aim is to distract the public from each issue,” said Gasion Hakohen, senior researcher at the Begin Sadat Center for Strategic Research (Israel).
In Israel, the number of new infected people on the 15th was 5,235 and the cumulative death toll was 3,910. The prevalence of the population proportion is high even in the world, and the third blockade (city blockade) is currently continuing. Bossem, 62, from Jerusalem, who finished his first vaccination late last year, said in an interview: “It is ironic that even if the vaccination were an election campaign, it would not have been possible without it.” ..
