Number of Covid-19 deaths under age 50 without comorbidities? Zero.
Number of Covid-19 deaths under age 50 without comorbidities? Zero.
According to the Israeli Ministry Of Health
(Addition: See the Ministry Of Health’s Twitter response below)
A recent Freedom Of Information Act request published recently reveals that 0 (zero) people died from Covid-19 under age 50 without comorbidities, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, since the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis in Israel. (Attached is the document in Hebrew)
Another bewildering item is that the Israeli Ministry Of Health does not have information on cardiac arrest cases for 2021-2022.
Ori Shabi, Esq. published the official FOIA response today (May 22, 2023). Article 4 of the request:
How many Covid-19 patients died without comorbidities under the age of 50.
The Israeli Ministry Of Health’s response is:
Article 4 - There were 0 cases of death at ages 18-49 without comorbidities, out of all Covid-19 death cases where an epidemiological investigation was performed and included comorbidity information. Please note that the information available to the Ministry is incomplete and based on information provided by the patients or their families during an epidemiological investigation if such an investigation occurred and the family chose to share the information. Therefore, the available information does not necessarily reflect the health status of the patient. The Ministry Of Health does not have access to patients’ full personal health information.
Note that information regarding comorbidities of deceased Covid-19 patients ages 0-17 has already been released under court appeal #18170-02-23.
The above mentioned court appeal refers to a similar FOIA request regarding children ages 0-18. The request was unanswered, taken to court, and only then came the answer - one child had died from Covid-19 without known comorbidities in Israel (during 3 years with a pop. of approx. 3 million children ages 0-18). There were 18 additional death cases where serious / chronic comorbidities were recorded.
Article 5 -
How many cardiac arrest cases occurred in Israel for each year between 2018-2022 ?
The Ministry’s response is:
See below the data on cardiac arrest cases in 2018-2020. The Ministry of Health does not have any information on cardiac arrest cases in 2021-2022. Registry of the cause of death is handled by the Central Bureau of Statistics according to the death notice and then sent to the MOH. Data for 2021-2022 have not been received yet.
It appears that the Israeli MOH is not monitoring cardiac arrest cases, despite strong evidence of a significant rise in cardiac events with correlation to the vaccine campaign.

Addition:
On May 25, 2023 the MOH published a clarification on its official Twitter account. To summarize the data:
356 young people (ages 18-49) have died from Covid-19. Of these, only about half have documentation for an epidemiological investigation (184 deceased) And only 7.5% (27 deceased) had an answer to the question about underlying diseases.
