@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.

@freemo @yaksha Aren't those over 50 the ones who are significantly more likely to die from the disease compared to those below?
Then the vaccine is useless if they still get sick

@Dice

The vaccine isnt "useless if they still get sick" because it isnt an all or nothing thing. The vaccine significantly reduces their chances of getting sick, not 100%, but significant enough to be far from useless.

@Dice

Nope... I wonder if you can spot why thats bad data? Would you even listen if i explained it to you... probably not... Hint: That chart isnt normalized and thus you cant use it to make inferences. You would have to compare infection rates according to a fixed sample size of each country in order to get remotely accurate data.
