"The escalation of violent attacks on the Internet against doctors across the country is breaking records," Dr. Zeev Feldman, chairman of the State Physicians' Association, tweeted today (Wednesday).
"I keep getting calls from doctors and public servants, being attacked with uncontrolled violence on the networks by vaccine opponents - cursing and inciting against them. It must be stopped before it is too late! You have lost it completely," he wrote.
The escalation of violent attacks on the Internet against doctors across the country is breaking records, it was Prof. Galia Rahav, Prof. Gili Regev, Prof. Gabi Barbash, and Prof. Hagai Levin - and now Dr. Sharon Elroi Price is under attack.

In his remarks, he referred to the defamatory statements made by vaccine opponents against senior health officials.
In the screenshots he brings from the social networks, the following nicknames are attributed to Dr. Sharon Elrai-Price, head of public health services: "criminal against humanity", "hysterical doctor" and "Reich's wife".
Dr. Feldman was asked why no complaints were filed with the police on the matter and replied: "These are civil servants and we demand that the law enforcement authorities act en masse to eradicate the phenomenon and do not leave the doctors to complain to the police."

According to Health Minister Yuli Edelstein, "The wild incitement against senior doctors and health system leaders should be dealt with in all seriousness. Vaccine opposition activists are treating false allegations against those who have been working around the clock for a year for one purpose only: public health. You were quickly touched by the incitement. "
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health yesterday condemned the threats against medical staff.
"We reject with disgust the message that condemns Prof. Galia Rahav and compares it to the dark of the world. It is a shame and disgrace for those people who chose to express themselves in this way," it was reported.
