Zero Young Healthy Individuals Died of COVID-19, Israeli Data Show
Zero healthy individuals under the age of 50 have died of COVID-19 in Israel, according to newly released data. - Lia Onely
“Zero deceased of 18–49 years of age with no underlying morbidities,” the Israel Ministry of Health (MOH) said in response to a formal request from an attorney.
Officials noted that the statement only applies to COVID-19 deaths where the MOH conducted an epidemiological investigation and had received information about the underlying diseases.
“Zero is a very, very clear number, and cannot be subject to interpretation,” Yoav Yehezkelli, a specialist in internal medicine and medical management, and former lecturer in the Department of Emergency and Disaster Management at Tel Aviv University in Israel, told The Epoch Times.
“Why were all the extreme measures of school closures, vaccination of children, and lockdowns needed?” he added.
The MOH did respond to a request for comment.
Freedom of Information Request
The information was sparked by a freedom of information request filed by attorney Ori Xabi, who has been filing several such requests as he seeks to obtain information from the MOH regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and COVID-19 policies.
Xabi asked to know the average age of people who died of COVID-19, segmented by vaccination status at the time of death; how many COVID-19 patients with no underlying morbidities under the age of 50 died; and the annual number of cardiac arrest cases between 2018 to 2022.
According to the MOH response, the average age of vaccinated COVID-19 patients who died was 80.2 years. The average for the unvaccinated was 77.4 years.
The MOH emphasized that the data they have about the underlying diseases of patients is partial since it relies on information provided by the patients or their relatives, if they chose to do so. And then, only in cases in which the MOH conducted an epidemiological investigation.
Therefore “the available information does not necessarily reflect the health status of the patient” the MOH wrote adding that they do not have access to the patients’ medical records.
It is not clear why the MOH responded to Xabi’s request using only cases where the MOH had conducted an epidemiological investigation, and which was limited to deceased patients where the families had cooperated, since in 2020 the MOH told the Israeli Knesset—the Israeli parliament—that they use an intelligence system that provides the MOH with extensive information about deceased patients that included “underlying diseases.”

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Try doing a simple search for "Isreal Covid-19 deaths" to fact check your zero deaths assertion. You will find it to be very wrong, although Isreal does seem to report lower death rates from Covid-19, it has more to do with reporting and diagnosis standards.

[worldometers.info] was the first result from my own search
Can you show the age stratified data?
The link you provided shows no age stratification,
and thus is not relevant, and can't be used to
refute the premise outlined in the posted article.
TODAY Covid-19 is one of the leading killers of young children around the world, still.
I have no idea where these supposed 'facts' you quote came from and neither do you.......you appear to have gone from wrongly understanding things you have read because of your extreme bias to outright LIES.

Children were never at risk from Covid -19. CDC Data.
COVID-19 JULY 12, 2021
The Kids Are Alright Why now is the time to rethink COVID safety protocols for children — and everyone else.
The kids are safe. They always have been.
It may sound strange, given a year of panic over school closures and reopenings, a year of masking toddlers and closing playgrounds and huddling in pandemic pods, that, according to the CDC, among children the mortality risk from COVID-19 is actually lower than from the flu. The risk of severe disease or hospitalization is about the same.
This is true for the much-worried-over Delta variant. It is also true for all the other variants, and for the original strain. Most remarkably, it has been known to be true since the very earliest days of the pandemic — indeed it was among the very first things we did know about the disease. The preliminary mortality data from China was very clear: To children, COVID-19 represented only a vanishingly tiny threat of death, hospitalization, or severe disease.
The Risk to Kids From COVID Is Miniscule. Do Not Let Them Mandate Vaccines
"Children under the age of 10 generally are at quite low risk of acquiring symptomatic disease," from the coronavirus, said Dr. Rainu Kaushal of Weill Cornell Medicine. And they rarely transmit it either. It's a happy coincidence, Kaushal and others said, that the youngest children face lower risk..."
This statement is ironic, because you describe yourself exactly. "I have no idea where these supposed 'facts' you quote came from and neither do you.......you appear to have gone from wrongly understanding things you have read because of your extreme bias to outright LIES."
@BDair Reading these 3 replies....it appears you have either deeloped a stutter or cannot remember what you just posted........
I have not deeloped anything. I linked three articles from three sources.
You have just spouted your opinion, as usual.
And one more thing....
For Majority of UK children, COVID Mortality is 0.000
The most comprehensive and perhaps important COVID-19 study to date was released in the U.K on July 7th. Although largely ignored by the mainstream press, the study is of great importance because it actually quantifies the health risks of COVID among children and teenagers.
Impressively, researchers from prestigious U.K. medical institutions reviewed every COVID case involving children and young people (CYP) hospitalized in the U.K. in the first 12 months of the pandemic.
Only 25 children aged 0 to 17 in the U.K. died of COVID in the pandemic’s first 12 months.
Of these 25 deaths, 19 (76 percent) occurred among patients who had pre-existing “chronic co-morbidities” and/or “life-limiting” medical conditions. Only 24 percent of COVID deaths occurred among children with no “underlying health conditions.”
This means only six “healthy” children and young people in this nation of 68 million people died of COVID

You can say that again.
This is probably news to you, but Israel is not the only country affected by the virus so you appear to be picking and choosing data to create a false narrative.

How about some Nordic countries then?
Findings In a cohort study of 23.1 million residents across 4 Nordic countries, risk of myocarditis after the first and second doses of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines was highest in young males aged 16 to 24 years after the second dose. For young males receiving 2 doses of the same vaccine, data were compatible with between 4 and 7 excess events in 28 days per 100 000 vaccinees after second-dose BNT162b2, and between 9 and 28 per 100 000 vaccinees after second-dose mRNA-1273.
It is in response to your comment
"This is probably news to you, but Israel is not the only country affected by the virus..."
Just more 'jabs bad' info from around the world.
The virus is not worse.
The vaccines never worked, not even in their trials.
The vaccines are injuring and killing millions of people,
and destroying the fertility of young women.
