Israel: Highest infection rate in the world Israel: Highest coronavirus infection rate in the world ( OWD ) Published : September 2, 2021 (upd.) Share on : / / Select Language English Dutch French German Greek Hebrew Hungarian Italian Japanese Korean Polish Portuguese Russian Spanish Swedish Turkish Powered by Israel is reporting the highest coronavirus infection rate in the world, showing that neither vaccine mandates nor “vaccine passports” are suitable means to limit or end the pandemic.

Even the claque of quasi-literate brown-nosers in the news media are turning on him since he glanced at his watch too many times while the dead marines’ bodies were rolled out before him at Dover AFB
