As you may recall, against the background of the struggle in Corona and the campaign to encourage vaccines, the Ministry of Health in general and Dr. Sharon Elrai Price have long been subject to attacks and concealment.
Dr. Elrai Price said in several interviews that she suffers severe threats and even has a distress button.
In an interview here Monday, Dr. Elrai Price said: "It comes to me personally as well. All sorts of accusations are leveled at me. Vaccine opponents attack me personally. "Their choices should not be vaccinated. It's even more complicated when it's under my house and my children are exposed to it. There are demonstrations of people cursing and making connections to World War II. Terrible things. It happens on a daily basis. There were threats to the point of giving me a distress button."
