This disclaimer deserves a closer look:

"...the MOH officially acknowledged that it does not have information regarding cardiac arrest events for 2021-2022, and is waiting for the Central Bureau of Statistics to send them the data. CBS also confirmed that Mortality by Cause Of Death stat. for 2021 (and 2022) has not been published yet (as of Aug. 24, 2023)."

Yet the CBS was able to post extremely detailed stats on Israel's hospital occupancy rates for 2021 AND 2022 - nicely categorized by month and by department. In fact, they published two lists in "monthly bulletins" - April / July 2023.

On that point, the "Cardiac intensive care" traffic is very interesting, when compared with "respiratory intensive care" (the big Covid-19 boogieman). And the Hebrew side includes the stats from 2020 as well.

But here's the punch... guess where the CBS got all those stats:

"Source: Health Information Division, the Ministry of Health"

But no one has the CA death stats for those years??

And the CBS and MOH are blaming each other for withholding them??

Can you spell 'GASLIGHT'?

Great research article, deserves far more attention. Well observed on the defib rollouts as the reason for the reduction in cases in 2022.
