You're the kind of top guy in vacins in in israel. Did you expect the vaccines to be better at preventing transmission than they were? Yes, i would. I'm one of a few guys that are realying to that matter here in Israels. And therefore, yes, we were surprised to discover at the end of the day that, no, the vaccines are not protecting tes. Are not causing what we call sterilizing immunity.
In a wide-ranging and forthright interview with Freddie Sayers, Professor Cyrille Cohen, head of Immunology at Bar Ilan University and a member of the advisory committee for vaccines for the Israeli Government said:
- The Green Pass / vaccine passport concept was no longer relevant in the Omicron era and should be phased out (he expected it to be in short order in Israel)
- He and his colleagues were surprised and disappointed that the vaccines did not prevent transmission, as they had originally hoped
- The biggest mistake of the pandemic in Israel was closing schools and education – he apologised for that
- Widespread infection is now an inevitable part of future immunity — otherwise known as herd immunity
- Omicron has accelerated the pandemic into the endemic phase, in which Covid will be “like flu”
