MK Gadi Yabarkan today (Wednesday) threatened the Knesset plenum to rebel against the guidelines and not get vaccinated, as a backbone he seeks to give to vaccine opponents, whose words suffer from a negative image.

Yabarkan, himself recovering from corona disease, told the plenum that he was vaccinated with the first vaccine but as mentioned threatens to rebel against the instructions and not get vaccinated with the second and third vaccines, because of the attitude towards the unvaccinated.
He said, "Those who have not been vaccinated should be allowed to live like humans, it cannot be that those people will become lepers."
Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz responded by saying, "You are only exacerbating the situation and harming those you want to help."
Currently, entry to the Knesset is conditional on the presentation of a green sign, but Knesset members have immunity and can enter even without it.
Recently, there have been complaints from Mishkan workers about the MKs' immunity and their entry into the Mishkan without displaying the green sign. Many Knesset members expressed their support for the workers in Twitter tweets, in which they attached their green sign.
