New Health Ministry statistics indicated that, on average, the Pfizer shot — the vaccine given to nearly all Israelis — is now just 39% effective against infection, while being only 41% effective in preventing symptomatic COVID. Previously, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was well over 90% effective against infection.
Israel’s research agreed, at least, that the shot was highly effective in avoiding serious illness, at 91.4% effectiveness.

For a year we've had to hear about the greatness of the vaccines, Moderna & Pfizer in particular. But as the months wear on, more and more vaccinated people are getting sick, and those who are getting sick are beginning to have worse symptoms.
We went from 90-95% effectiveness, down to 39-41%. Oddly-enough, however, the Times of Israel, despite clearly stating the data shows 39/41%, went on to state:
Israel’s research agreed, at least, that the shot was highly effective in avoiding serious illness, at 91.4% effectiveness.
I think what we're seeing here is a concerted effort by Pfizer to push their recently-requested "Booster." I believe we'll start seeing news reports coming from different places showing lower and lower effectiveness, which will then offer a 'cure' to waning efficiency in the form of a 'booster'.
This also diminishes the argument for "vaccine passports." With loss of transmission that low, the vaccines won't end the pandemic and COVID will become endemic and our collective immunity will eventually work itself out. Arguably, vaccinating for it may very well produce more lethal variants: epidemics.psu.edu...

Or we could just take Ivermectin as a prophylactic and let this thing finally die out entirely.

Our study compared the incidence of COVID-19 among countries with different PCT campaigns and those countries in which PCT is non-existent. It is perhaps obvious that the latter group is by far the largest. It should also not be surprising that this set of samples had a rather large variability (Fig. 1 ). However, in spite of this, the difference between nations that deploy PCT using ivermectin and those that do not use any PCT turned out to be highly significant (adjusted significance P < 0.01). These initial results were obtained on 15 April 2020 and because at that time SARS-CoV-2 was still being detected in new countries on an almost daily basis, we chose to monitor the situation and observe whether this correlation would over time become less significant. We updated our calculations and added additional newly affected countries several times throughout the month of May 2020 and noticed that the observed association between ivermectin MDA and lower COVID-19 incidence actually grew strictly stronger over time. By 5 June 2020, the adjusted significance had improved to P < 0.001, actually reported by IBM SPSS Statistics as 0.000. It has remained at that level since.

......it's not the un-vaccinated causing the virus to get stronger but the vaccinated!
This also diminishes the argument for "vaccine passports."
As far as a vaccine passport, it's ridiculous. There are so many other much more communicable diseases like TB that have never had the requirement for "papahs pleeeze".
Or, the plans all along for pharma was to get everybody in the bandwagon of the first shots and then followed with the booster shots for life every 6 months.
