Prof. Grotto: It all depends on the level of violence of the Omicron

Contrary to the position of various experts, Prof. Itamar Grotto, former Deputy Director General of the Ministry of Health, believes that Israel’s situation compared to other countries and especially Europe “is overall very good, and seems to be the main reason for the population’s immunity. In Israel, thanks to the impetus. “ Prof. Grotto was interviewed this morning (Sunday) on 103FM .

However, when asked if the good situation will not change in Several weeks, he replied: “It depends on the level of violence of the virus, of the omicron. The data we have so far show that the disease is mild in the vaccinated. It is probable that even the unvaccinated do not have a very mild disease, relatively. “

” Apparently the level of violence of the virus has decreased, Prof. Grotto believes. “We see big gaps between the level of morbidity and what happens in hospitals. A high proportion of the population is vaccinated with three doses, so most patients are like that. I estimate that the three-dose vaccine gives very good protection, so we are currently in good condition.”

( Regarding the trial that is scheduled to begin this week among volunteers from Sheba employees who will be invited to receive a fourth dose of vaccine, Prof. Grotto said: “Looking at the level of violence of the virus. If we are talking about a virus that does nothing to people with three doses, you may not need to vaccinate them and let them get infected and get a mild illness.”
