(MENAFN) Data released by Israel's Ministry of Health, in response to a freedom of information request, has revealed a striking fact: not a single healthy individual under the age of 50 has died from COVID-19 in the country. This revelation has prompted questions regarding the necessity of drastic measures such as school closures, vaccinating children, and imposing lockdowns.
Internal medicine specialist Yoav Yehezkelli, a vocal critic of Israel's Covid-19 policies, raised concerns about the justification behind implementing stringent measures when the data indicates a minimal risk of mortality among young and healthy individuals. Yehezkelli's remarks, published in the Epoch Times, underscore the ongoing debate surrounding the effectiveness and proportionality of various pandemic response strategies.
The information sought through the freedom of information request also included additional details beyond the absence of Covid-19 deaths among healthy individuals under 50. Lawyer Ori Xabi, who filed the request, asked the Ministry of Health to provide data on the average age of Covid-19 fatalities, categorized by vaccination status. This particular inquiry seeks to explore the impact of vaccinations on the age distribution of Covid-19-related deaths.
Furthermore, Xabi's request encompassed information regarding the annual number of cardiac arrest cases spanning from 2018 to 2022. This inquiry aims to examine any potential shifts or trends in cardiac arrest occurrences during this period, providing additional insights into the broader health landscape beyond the scope of Covid-19.
