Israel Sees Explosion Of Cases In Vaccinated Patients Caused By "Delta" Variant https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/israel-sees-explosion-new-cases-vaccinated-patients-caused-delta An outbreak of the Delta variant in Israel has spread to many vaccinated people, with about half of the adults infected already being fully innocualted with the Pfizer vaccine. Along with Moderna's jab, the two mRNA-based vaccines are believed to be more than 90% effective against preventing COVID-19. Still, as more evidence of spread among the vaccinated arises, Pfizer and Moderna will have more incentive to market "booster" vaccines as they transition to protecting the vulnerable against COVID over the long term. Ran Balicer, the head of Israel's COVID-19 government advisory committee, said that about 90% of new infections in the country were likely caused by the Delta variant.
"The entrance of the Delta variant has changed the transmission dynamics," Balicer said.
Children under the age of 16, most of whom haven't yet been vaccinated, accounted for roughly half of the new cases.
