How did Israel, the country that vaccinated the most, end up being overthrown by the new strain

Israel, the country that has been vaccinated the most, faces a large number of cases, even severe, of COVID-19. The reason, says Dr. Marius Geanta, president of the Center for Innovation in Medicine, is related to the spread of the B.1.1.7 strain, which has become dominant in Israel in the last week. The strain is already present in Romania, warn our authorities.

“30 days ago, Israel entered the third blockade and was in an accelerated Covid-19 vaccination campaign. At that time, around 600 patients were hospitalized in intensive care units and were diagnosed daily in” Experts predicted that the prolonged blockade and prolonged vaccination would lead to a decrease in total cases and especially severe cases of disease within a few weeks, “wrote Dr. Marius Geanta on Facebook.

“At the moment, things are completely different,” he added.

“Yesterday, the same experts from Israel reported worrying data: 1,100 people are hospitalized in ATI and about 6,500 cases are diagnosed daily, on average,” says the Romanian doctor.

The explanation for the increase in the total number of cases and the number of severe cases of Covid-19 is related to the “spread of the B.1.1.7 strain, which has become dominant in Israel in the last week.”

“So great is the danger posed by the B.1.1.7 strain, since it is too early to quantify an effect of mass vaccination in the control of the pandemic,” the doctor added.
