1
00:00:00,780 --> 00:00:06,400
I have to make sure that the future of the Jewish state is safe and sound.

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,120
That's my one goal.

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:15,640
And I would like to be remembered as the protector of Israel.

4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,680
That's enough for me.

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:18,680
Protector of Israel.

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,760
Mr. Prime Minister, pleasure to have you on.

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:22,760
Thank you.

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:28,440
Thank you all very much.

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:37,360
In short, I gave Pfizer the argument that they could benefit from the data that we could

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:43,500
produce and they were convinced and then we went along and did this.

11
00:00:43,500 --> 00:00:46,340
And in fact, our health system did exactly that.

12
00:00:46,340 --> 00:00:54,380
We have a digitized system for distributing health, 1,400 sites in a very small country

13
00:00:54,380 --> 00:00:56,200
of 9 million.

14
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,600
And they just work it out.

15
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:03,660
And again, on the distribution, you know, I take, say, I don't call that much, five

16
00:01:03,660 --> 00:01:04,520
times a day.

17
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,520
I heard that you had been on the phone 70 times with the Pfizer CEO.

18
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,900
21 times, not 17, not 70, but 21 times.

19
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:16,440
But also, I speak with Stefan Bansel of Moderna.

20
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,440
I've spoken to the heads of the other companies.

21
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,360
I think you need personal leadership here.

22
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,360
You know, it's like checking on munitions in a war.

23
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:31,360
You really have to make sure you're getting, first of all, the stock of vaccines.

24
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,360
Then you have to make sure that they're distributed.

25
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:39,420
And they have to be distributed in a, basically, in an optimized way that keeps changing.

26
00:01:39,420 --> 00:01:40,760
But we're doing that.

27
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,300
So that's basically what we have done.

28
00:01:43,300 --> 00:01:48,120
And I think the important thing is not merely what we've done for Israel, but the fact that

29
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:54,880
Israel can serve as basically a global, really, truly a global test case.

30
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:03,340
is not for dangerous experiments, but to understand this safe experiment that we're carrying out.

31
00:02:03,340 --> 00:02:14,340
What is the best way and what is the efficacy of using this and later Moderna inoculation

32
00:02:14,340 --> 00:02:19,060
to move the economies forward, to open up the economies?

33
00:02:19,260 --> 00:02:20,260
What risks are we taking?

34
00:02:20,620 --> 00:02:21,600
What's the infection rate?

35
00:02:21,660 --> 00:02:22,040
And so on.

36
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,980
So that's basically what we're doing.

37
00:02:23,980 --> 00:02:27,220
And I think, I think a lot of countries will profit by it.
