Pfizer CEO’s Israel visit cancelled because he is unvaccinated

 

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has cancelled his expected visit to Israel, after it turned out he was not vaccinated against coronavirus, N12 reported Friday.

The report noted that Bourla, as well as members of the delegation that was meant to accompany him during his visit, have not received the second dose of the vaccine. As a result, it was decided to delay the visit by several days, which also posed a logistic challenge because of the upcoming Israeli elections. 

Bourla said in December that he has not yet received the vaccine yet because he does not want to “cut in line,” and would wait until his age group is next in line for getting vaccinated. As such, he has received the first dose, but not the second one yet. 

Pfizer did not respond to The Jerusalem Post‘s request for comment.”We continue to be interested in visiting Israel and meeting with decision-makers,” a Pfizer spokesperson told N12.

“The visit to Israel will probably be scheduled toward the end of spring.” 

Bourla made headlines last week when in an interview given to NBC News he referred to Israel as the “world’s lab” when it comes to coronavirus vaccine rollout, noting that “they are only using our vaccine.” 

When asked whether one could infect others after receiving two doses of the vaccine, he said: “It is something that needs to be confirmed, and the real-world data that we are getting from Israel and other studies will help us understand this better.”

Biden Looking to Destroy Peace Deals Between Arabs and Israel

  By  Caroline B. Glick

The Trump administration was on the verge of securing a peace agreement between Israel and Indonesia in its final weeks in office, according to a former senior Trump administration official involved in the efforts. The official divulged that the negotiations between Israel and the world's most populous Muslim state were run by then-President Donald Trump's senior adviser Jared Kushner and Adam Boehler, then-head of the US's International Development Finance Corporation.

Israel was represented by then-Ambassador Ron Dermer and Indonesia by Minister Mohamed Lutfi. To secure peace, Boehler told Bloomberg News last December, the US would be willing to provide Indonesia with an additional "one or two billion dollars" in aid. Indonesia was interesting in Israeli technology and even wanted the Technionto open a campus in Jakarta. It wanted visa-free travel to the Jewish state and Arab and US investment in its sovereign wealth fund. Israel wanted Indonesia to end its economic boycott of the Jewish state. Direct flights from Tel Aviv to Bali were on the table.

The advantages of peace between Israel and Indonesia for both sides are self-evident. But such a peace would also pay a huge dividend to the US in its burgeoning cold war with China. An expanded strategic and economic partnership with the archipelago and ASEAN member would be a setback for China's efforts to dominate the South China Sea, particularly with Indonesia playing a role in an Islamic-Israeli alliance led by the US.

"We got the ball on Indonesia and Israel to the first-yard line," the official explained. Unfortunately, the Biden administration has dropped the ball on the ground and walked off the field.

On the surface, the Biden administration is interested in promoting peace. President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have praised the Abraham Accords, as well they should.

13 year-old from Teaneck Gives Daf Yoimie Shiur

Meet Charlie Breda, possibly the youngest Daf Yomi Magid Shiur on Earth

When Charlie was 12 years old he started giving a daf yomi shiur to his friends using the the AllDaf app as a resource. One year later, with a bar mitzvah and pandemic under his belt, Charlie is still going strong.

Watch this remarkable story to learn how a regular kid from Teaneck relentlessly pursued the seemingly impossible. Imagine what we can achieve with Hashem’s help when we open our minds and hearts to the loftiest Torah goals.

Why do Biden’s handlers have him back in the basement?

 It’s sure looking like President Biden’s handlers are protecting him from the press. 

Wednesday, he joined a virtual House Democratic Caucus event with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, delivered some 10 minutes of some prepared remarks and then invited questions — at which point his microphone and camera feed got cut off.

Yes, he seemed a bit confused about the agenda, saying, “So I want to thank you all. I really mean it . . . I want to thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you,” and then: “And I’m happy to take questions if that’s what you — I’m supposed to do, Nance. Whatever you want me to do.”

That’s when his outgoing stream switched to a “Thank you for joining” screen.

Whoever rushed to cut the president off was doing him no favors, but rather inviting questions about when, if ever, he’ll do a public give-and-take that allows for truly challenging questions.

Biden has already gone longer than any president in a century without holding a solo press conference. The 15 prior chief executives held a solo press conference within 33 days of taking office, according to a CNN analysis of data from the American Presidency Project.

President Donald Trump held his first solo press conference 27 days after taking office; President Barack Obama, 20 days into the job. Thursday marked Biden’s 43rd day in office.

This follows a campaign where he was almost never in any potentially spontaneous situation, and showed up in public at all only when he’d had ample opportunity to rest. But he doesn’t have the excuse of the pandemic anymore — certainly not when politicians by the thousands are doing virtual press conferences.

The American people need to know their president is fully engaged with his job, and fit to do normal give-and-take on his own. Otherwise, you’re going to start hearing a lot more about the 25th Amendment.

'Unvaccinated rabbis won't be assigned to conduct weddings'

As Israel prepares to loosen its coronavirus restrictions and open up restaurants and event halls which will allow for larger gatherings and weddings, the Tzohar Rabbinical Organization announced that only vaccinated rabbis will be allowed to conduct ceremonies.

Tzohar is involved with helping coordinate thousands of marriage ceremonies each year, with many officiated by volunteer rabbis arranged by the organization.

“The last thing we would want is that weddings which should be defined by holiness and a sense of family should serve to help spread the virus,” said Rabbi David Stav, who chairs Tzohar.

The organization, which also facilitates premarital counselling, also asked that unvaccinated bridal counsellors should not hold in-person meetings.

“We know that in the coming days and weeks we'll be blessed to see a large increase in the number of weddings. By taking the proper precautions and abiding by the Health Ministry regulations, we can make sure that these events will be ones of only happiness and health,” Rabbi Stav said.
