Will a third jab help?

ワクチン先進国のイスラエルとイギリスも結局は日本よりひどいコロナでの死亡数になった。ワクチンよりもいわゆるファクターXのほうが効果は大きい。それが何なのかわからないまま。
イギリスでは今なお日本より5倍以上死んでいるが、受け入れて日常に戻りつつあるのが羨ましい。 pic.twitter.com/cXQVzel7iK

 COVID: Why are infections rising in Israel?

With almost 60% of the country fully vaccinated, Israel has seen a life after COVID-19. But now infections are on the rise. What's going on? Will a third jab help?

 Taking a sample from August 16, 2021:

154.7 severely ill patients in Israel were unvaccinated.

48.4 severely ill patients were partially vaccinated

And 19.8 severely ill patients were fully vaccinated

 重症化しているのはやはりワクチン未接種者が多いわけで

Israel's not taking any chances. It's going with more doses.

The health ministry says studies conducted by vaccine manufacturers and other agencies across the world suggest that "the third dose causes an increase in the level of antibodies in the blood, boosts their quality (improved capability to neutralize the virus) and they remain longer in the body. The result is an increased antibody capability to protect the body against the virus."

But on Sunday, the health ministry said that after reviewing data on hundreds of patients from oncology wards, "the recommendation at this stage is to not vaccinate" cancer patients.

がん患者などを除いて、3回目の接種に踏み出している。

　日本の場合死者数が少なくても病院が逼迫しているのでしょうがない。感染者数を減らすと同時に、病院の交通整理をしないと。
