President Biden took to the airways yesterday to address the nation regarding his “Covid Response” (September 10, 2021) It was another divisive speech pitting one citizen group against another. Rather than helping to solve the nation’s ills his remarks were an embarrassment to himself, his office and the nation by unfairly casting blame on the unvaccinated for the recent dramatic surge of Covid cases.
Although Biden claims to “support ‘science’ ” this support is often highly selective. And in this case, while he pushes for government mandated vaccinations, he ignores the circumstances of a nation which has followed these protocols ( Biden is attempting to foist on us) yet even fully vaccinated it has become the world’s hotspot of new Covid infections.
The pandering MS media all ignore the blaring example of Israel’s vaccination and Covid surge in the face of its high vaccination rate. Israel the most vaccinated nation in the world today is also the nation with the highest Covid infection rate.
The facts of Israel’s high vaccination rate and it’s high Covid infection rate blows a huge hole in Biden’s argument for mandated vaccinations. Israel, is a nation with a superb health care system, with an educated and compliant citizenry and is also the center of modern cutting-edge technology. Israel has rightly been touted as the world’s model for health care and preparedness during this pandemic.
Last spring that nation inaugurated an early and inclusive vaccination campaign which was a model of effectiveness. It became the first nation to achieve the desirable goal of having nearly its entire population vaccinated with two shots. It also had instituted an indoor mask mandate and a so-called “green pass” for the vaccinated which permitted holders to enter concerts, bars, restaurants and other indoor or congested venues. As a further precaution, the Naftali Bennet government even initiated a booster shot program (jab #3) in July of this year. Almost two million booster shots have been administered to date —in a nation of 9 million.. As it’s cases declined early in this year it assumed it had achieved “herd immunity”.
Yet, this week, the WHO has reported that Israel—the world’s model on how to “get passed” the pandemic by effective inoculations—has unexpectedly become the world’s worst Covid hotspot with the highest level of new Covid cases reported per million population of all nations reporting. Israel reported the world’s highest number of new cases in a week (@ 1,200 per million population ) becoming the world’s most infected “hot spot” for Covid. The Israeli rate is over two times the infection rate of the UK, and more than that of the USA. Remarkably, as of September 6, based on Israel’s high level of infection Sweden (and Portugal) have closed their borders to Israelis attempting enter.
So is it fair for our President to blame the Covid surge in the USA on the unvaccinated? While the Biden team ignores “the science” of the Israeli surge, it also ignores the implications of its chaotic open border policy. The impact on our nation’s health of a million illegal unvaccinated and unvetted immigrants surging over our southern border, combined with hundreds of thousands of unvetted, unvaccinated Afghan refugees ( these latter the results of the Biden Administrations poorly planned and executed retreat from Afghanistan). All of these immigrants are potential disease vectors. The Biden team has scattered these folks over the nation in an unplanned secretive fashion where they can pass on Covid and other communicable diseases to American citizens . These Biden policies have an obvious and detrimental impact on the nation’s health and Covid infection rate, that may exceed the impact of the unvaccinated American citizens Biden has smeared in his speech.
The “science” emanating from the Israeli situation seems to suggest that “vaccines may blunt but not defeat” the Delta variant, and there also seems to be an unexpected waning of protection of the vaccines with time. That combined with a natural vaccination hesitancy of certain elements of every population all seem to have contributed to the surge in a very highly vaccinated nation like Israel. But for the USA the surge we are experiencing is compounded and exacerbated by the Biden Administration immigration polices at our southern border and the chaotic immigration of Afghan refugees.
Our President would like you to ignore this “science” and the travails of those good people in Israel as he pursues a policy of division and transfer of blame. From the Oval Office President Biden slimes and castigates millions of his own citizenry who will now be branded by their “president
” as “the.cause of a continuing pandemic”. These mostly God fearing, hardworking, patriotic, people who the Democrats like to smear as a “basket of ignorant irredeemables” and troglodytes will be now tarred and feathered as the cause of all of “their” and the nation’s problems.
Don’t let these phony socialist-infected Democrat elites who can’t seem to get anything right, whether it be fair and valid elections, rampaging inflation, foreign policy debacles, uncontrolled domestic violence, waves of illegals at our border, reasonable and consistent pandemic directives, or even a safe orderly retreat from a war torn nation.
God help us all if we do not get these incompetent radicals out of power.
