But Bibi Does Not Care

We now have increasing indications of a polio outbreak in Gaza as a result of the war, the IDF has started vaccinating soldiers.

This means that there is a very real chance of a spread of polio both in Gaza and throughout Israel, but Benjamin Netanyahu will continue to prosecute the war, because once it ends, he loses power and goes to jail for corruption.

He will likely be directly responsible for a plague being unleashed in Israel.

If that does not sound like some seriously biblical sh%$, as in the earth swallowing Korach, and the  plague that followed in בְּמִדְבַּר (Numbers), you have not studied תַּנַ״ךְ (Tanakh).

The Israeli army will begin on Sunday to vaccinate against polio all soldiers operating in Gaza or due to enter there soon, after a high concentration of the virus was found in sewage in Gaza.

Vaccination of the soldiers will take place in Israel over the coming weeks. The army says that, according to its information, there are no active cases of polio among Gazans.

Given that there is no healthcare system remaining in Gaza, there is no good information about potential polio cases either.  (Note also that in over 90% of cases, one would see only mild symptoms without paralysis)

Last Wednesday, the army was informed by the Health Ministry that a high concentration of the poliovirus was found in sewage samples from Gaza that were monitored.

As a result, the Health Ministry and IDF Medical Corps held an assessment and decided to launch a polio vaccination campaign for all ground forces in Gaza, including the combat forces and auxiliary forces.

Polio vaccines are given in Israel during childhood as part of the routine vaccination program, and the vaccination rate is 95 percent. Thus, the soldiers now in Gaza have been previously vaccinated against the virus.

Nonetheless, after situational assessment conducted by the IDF, with the participation of public health service chief Dr. Sharon Elroi-Price and senior Medical Corps officials, it was recommended that the soldiers be vaccinated again in order to further reduce the risk of infection and of transmission of the virus in Israel.

This is getting worse and worse.
