Israel’s worrying fourth wave
FT社評:以色列第四波疫情令人擔憂

Signs immunity is waning from early vaccinations have led to a booster programme
以色列是全球最早較充分接種疫苗的國家之一,現在卻首先陷入了第四波疫情。

Since late last year, Israel has been a laboratory for the world. After winning early access to BioNTech/Pfizer jab supplies in exchange for sharing data on its effects, Israel was the first country to celebrate fully reopening its entire economy after double-jabbing 70 per cent of its population by early April. Now, one of the world’s most-vaccinated nations is among the first to experience an alarming fourth wave of infections — and hospitalisations — and is rushing to give booster shots. The rest of the world should take notice.

自去年年底以來,以色列一直是世界的實驗室。在用疫苗效果數據換取BioNTech/輝瑞(Pfizer)疫苗較早供應之後,以色列在4月初讓70%的人口完成了兩針疫苗注射,成爲首個慶祝全面重啓整個經濟的國家。現在,這個世界上接種疫苗最充分的國家之一成爲了第一批遭遇令人警惕的第四波感染潮——以及住院潮——的國家,並且正在匆忙進行加強針的接種。世界其他國家應該予以關注。
