Vaccinations are effective at reducing serious illness and death, but ineffective at stopping transmission. Does that mean then that everyone should make it a personal choice whether they want to take the vaccine to protect themselves or not? Should we stop this sort of culture war against so called anti-vaxes? It feels like it's become an obsession,. They are now the sort of scape a that theevil peopleos society.

- 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”
