That's why we use courts and not the military to solve our disputes. This isn't Burma.

Actually, Israel is only 61% vaccinated and has fallen to 33rd in the world when it comes to fully vaccinated

You should look at Covid cases in Spain and Portugal, two of the most vaccinated countries

Lol look up what the definition of "vaccinated" now is and you'll understand why Israel went from the most vaccinated to only 61%. Do you even think about the things you write? Why would the vaccination rate be going down?

So isn’t the issue that the vaccine is not effective? Why force something that doesn’t even solve the problem on people who are holding out because they don’t trust it yet?

It is not an experimental jab. The mandate will be for a FDA-approved vaccine for normal use (not EUA). For your second question, because anti-vax have filled up hospital ICU and critical care beds so that normal people no longer have that capacity available in case they need it.

My body, my choice works for pregnancy and abortion where it only affects the woman carrying it. You carrying the virus and spreading it to someone else, potentially sending them to the hospital ICU is no longer about your body, your choice anymore.

Good.

Being "the most vaccinated" doesn't mean everyone is vaccinated as you're implying. They were first to break over half and then plateaued due to the Orthodox Jewish population and the young Israelis not getting the shot. They are currently at 78% of eligible and 61% total

/game over

game over? Hahahahaaa…. You nazi tyrants are a strange bunch. Why do you all make everything political? This is just more of the same failed policies we have now. The same vaccine currently failing all over the world and creating variants. The same tests that are as useless as before. The same masks that have no positive effect.

No Variant of Interest has been initially discovered in an advanced country with any significant portion of population vaccinated.

Alpha discovered in UK and Delta discovered in India - both before vaccines were EUA’d.
