The vaccination campaign continues vigorously, but in recent days there has been a slowdown in the rate of immunization. Apparently, the reason for this is the ‘Pike News’ regarding the vaccine and its effectiveness against the various mutations that makes many people afraid of the vaccines. This morning (Wednesday) Golan Yokfaz and Anat Davidov spoke with Prof. Rafi Carasso (‘103fm’), who referred to the low immunization rates among young people. He refuted the rumors on the subject, claiming that these were false conspiracies.
Go get vaccinated?
“Vaccines have always been opposed and you should be afraid of the disease, you should not be afraid of the vaccine. The disease is much more dangerous than the non-dangerous vaccine. Talk about it being something new, it is not something new. The vaccine in this technology has been around for many years.” “Viruses from the same family of crowns, there is experience with it. Fortunately, a lot of Mars and SARS have disappeared from the world and did not have to be used but the experiments are there and there is great experience. RNA technology has been around for 20 years. We are developing drugs with technology.”
We know the disease is severe and surprising, but young people are apprehensive.
“Fear is normal, fear is a normal thing, but you have to understand that in the world there is experience and in the world you know how a mechanism works. Medicine is neither 100 percent nor 0 percent.”
Let’s Pike News: Does the vaccine penetrate DNA?
“Nonsense. There is no such thing. Anyone who knows biology knows that RNA activates a protein, it does not enter DNA and cannot change genetics.”

Causes of cancer?
“No one has proven it. You could say he causes blonde hair and blue eyes, that’s a statement. Nonsense.”
Impairment of fertility?
“No one knows if it can harm fertility, they know it has nothing to do with fertility, it does not penetrate the placenta. Women recently who got pregnant either during illness or during vaccination, at least in tests done found nothing. It’s Pike News to scare “People. There are certain sects and approaches and a Scientology atmosphere that is principally against vaccines. Pike News about vaccines is there about all the vaccines that exist.”
How do you explain the outrage among those organizations around the Corona?
“Some are organizations that say the name will help in one way or another, ‘Let nature do its thing,’ there are those who like to scare, change things, that everything someone else does is not good and what they do is good. It is also part of a human trait of people who like to sabotage.” .
The vaccine is not sure to be effective against the mutations, the immunization is not 100 percent.
“The beauty of the type of RNA vaccine is that it is made with such technology that if there is a mutation tomorrow in a fairly short period of time it is possible to change the vaccine that will work against the mutation.”
Another vaccine?
“If another virus breaks out tomorrow? You’ll have to get vaccinated, too.”
A new generation of vaccine, as in cell phones?
“Mutations in viruses happen all the time there are thousands of mutations in the corona viruses, the question is whether a variant is formed which is a condition that creates a lot of mutations that already change the properties of the disease. If new variants are formed and will need a new vaccine but will have to “They can create it and change the vaccine. There are vaccines like the flu that need to be given once a year, maybe here too we will have to get it, no one knows.”
See what is happening in the hospitals and understand that there are more and more young people in a difficult situation, some in a life-threatening situation. Explain to those young people why it is important for them to be vaccinated.
“I would take anyone who does not want to be vaccinated for a tour of the Corona ward and I promise he would run to get vaccinated, because he would see that even young and very young people are sick and young people who are not at risk, the suffering they suffer even at home, lack of oxygen, weakness, high fever, “Fatigue, the disease is a disease for many young people, a serious disease.”
But in the first and second wave, these are deceased people, mostly the elderly, who became entangled with the disease due to background diseases.
“Not only the corona but the post-corona should be taken into account. A large proportion of recovering patients recovered from the acute, acute phase but suffer greatly from host symptoms – weakness lasting a good few months, cognitive decline in memory, concentration, motor inability, vascular disorders, events “Vascular, hair loss. It is a disease that leaves a lot of people with late effects that we do not know for how long because the disease itself is for about a year.”
