Israel Shifts to Moderna Vaccine as Minister Warns Delta COVID 'Won't Disappear Soon'

Health Minister Horowitz says the battle against the delta variant could last many months. So far, Israel has relied on the Pfizer vaccine in its inoculation drive, but as of August, much of the public will be getting Moderna

Noticed this recent interview with Dr. Malone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJYWUTSDv8I He discusses ADE possibilities. He says ADE would be seen during the waning of immunity, if seen at all. He said Pfizer's mRNA vaccine would be likely to show such a pattern first due to it having less potency than the Moderna vaccine. I think he said the adenovirus vaccines would show ADE later. So it is interesting that Israel is making the change.

Now this - less cases that are more serious in a heavily vaccinated country?

As Serious Cases Swell, Israel's COVID Contact-tracing Can't Keep Up

Some 10,000 new cases were reported over the past three days, with epidemiological investigations conducted on only 40 percent of them. The military's contact-tracing center is short-staffed after cuts were made since the peak of the COVID pandemic
