Doses applied in Israel appear to be providing 3rd dose booster
reinforcement, without contributing to completed vaccinations.

Had serious issues this week with detection, fatality and full
immunization figures being retroactively revised downwards by
Johns Hopkins statisticians.This had the effect of a 1 week to
ten days shift in many figures reported here, with little effect
on longer-term derived stats.
