By now, we are all aware of the frightening numbers of Corona cases and deaths during Israel’s “third wave” this winter. Aggressive vaccination programs and extended draconian lockdown policies have yet to substantially lower numbers as was predicted. This has led to a heightened level of stress and distrust in our homeland, no less exacerbated by global and local political rumblings.  ....

Cases of COVID-19 and hospitalisations dropped dramatically among people who were vaccinated within just a few weeks, according to new studies in Israel, where a rapid vaccine rollout has made it a kind of test laboratory for the world.
