''Lust for publicity': The Ministry of Health attacks Prof. Matot and 'Ichilov''

January 15, 2022   

The storm over the senior doctor's post:  The Ministry of Health is attacking Prof. Idit Matot from the Ichilov Medical Center in Tel Aviv this evening (Saturday night) - who called for changes to, among other things, the isolation policy. How can I switch banks with a click for free? • All questions and answers Where are the coronavirus tests performed? What test is done and when? All the information 7 million American children who were vaccinated are not wrong: We got vaccinated and you should get vaccinated too Has it been three months since your second vaccination? This is how you will protect yourself from the virus The ministry also attacked Ichilov Hospital for publishing the post on the medical center's social media accounts. "While the health system is making a tremendous effort to protect public health and save lives, vocal elements, including doctors, are emerging who are creating irresponsible discourse aimed at eroding public trust," the Ministry of Health's Telegram page wrote. "Even in the fight against the Omicron strain, the Ministry of Health is acting professionally and with discretion in order to protect public health, while also protecting the economy, education, culture, and, as much as possible, a daily routine alongside the coronavirus. "Prof. Matot's proposal not to test a large portion of those infected, thereby allowing the disease to spread more rapidly and widely, is unacceptable to the Ministry of Health. The policy proposed by Prof. Matot is liable to cause serious harm to groups at risk, an increase in the number of seriously ill patients, and death.". “Tell me, have we gone crazy?” Prof. Matot called for a change in the isolation policy The ministry added: "Unfortunately, Prof. Matot's conduct, and the language in which she chose to express her criticism, raise concerns that the desire for publicity sometimes outweighs responsibility. In addition, it should be noted that using the official page of a government hospital for the purpose of expressing a personal position is improper and prohibited. The health system in Israel is working tirelessly against the wave of severe morbidity, with discretion and responsibility, in an effort to preserve public health and economic activity. Those who do not want to help - let them not interfere.".
