@yaksha You realize that is only unique to israel and is the result of the fact that such a huge portion of the population that is vulnerable is vaccinated (90%+ of those over 50 years old)..
So this is perfectly normally and in no way suggests a problem. If the majority of the population is vaccinated than the majority of new cases will be vaccinated.
>If the majority of the population is vaccinated than the majority of new cases will be vaccinated.
Only if vaccination has nothing to do with your Chance oft getting infected. If you assume it was 100% effective no cases of vaccinated being effected should exist.
About 10% of Israelis have had the corona Virus while 50%+ have been vaccinated. If 1% of new cases are ones with previous infections and 40% with vaccination that should tell you quite a lot about how effective vaccines are...

"Only if vaccination has nothing to do with your Chance oft getting infected"
No this is also true when the two are correlated. No vaccine is 100% so any reference to 100% effectiveness isnt relevant.
Consider a simple example, a vaccine is 99% effective and 100% of the population has it. What is the expected percentage of people with COVID you expect to have been vaccinated? The answer is 100% even though the vaccine is 99% effective.
No, No, No!
We are talking about ISRAEL not some fairy tale country.
In Israel roughly half the population is vaccinated and 40% of new infections are among the vaccinated.
So, how effective is the vaccine there. Try doing the math...
Fun fact: if half the population is vaccinated and half the newly infected are vaccinated the effectiveness of the vaccine is ZERO. Since there is no statistical advantage for being vaccinated.
Over 90% of the population in israel is vaccinated for the portion of the population susceptible to hospitalization (those 50 years and older). They are one of the most vaccinated countries.
Yes having 90% of the population who are likely to have a severe reaction to the point of seeing a doctor is going to **severely** skew the results...
Jesus christ people stop spewing your own made of fairy tales if you dont even understand the official explanation first (then you can try to poke holes in it ones you understand it, which you clearly dont).
@yaksha
No also not correct. in a 99% effective vaccine the 1% who get the virus are **not** the ones who are most likely to have also gotten the virus and is now reinfected.. in fact the opposite is true, they are less likely to be in the 1% as the previous infection combined with the vaccine will make it less likely.
@yaksha
Do you want me to be condescending too? Did you even read the original point?
