theres too many missing data points to amke any reasonable conclusions from what you posted
It's true we don't know if people who have received the vaccine are among the newly infected.
However, the scientists have been telling us that once 70% of the population reaches immunity, then we'd be at Heard Immunity which should cause the virus to more or less disappear.
Based on new cases during the last 90 days, 4.7% of Israel's entire population has contracted the virus within the past 90 days. Most countries are telling people who have natural immunity not to get the vaccine to prioritize those who need it. So if Israel is also doing this, then they are already over the 50% threshold in terms of Population with Immunity.
If half the country now has immunity and new cases are still accelerating at a rate that is double the United States, that's not a good sign.

Scientists have been saying this. 70% is when herd immunity BEGINS to have an effect. You need far higher compliance to make it “more or less disappear”

It’s been long since determined simply being infected doesn’t guarantee natural immunity. Plenty of cases as being reinfected cases months after initial exposure.

Dumb.
Of the new cases, only 6% of them are from people 60 years old or older - and the demographic is the one approaching 100% vaccination. Younger demographics don’t nearly have that level of vaccination and that’s where the new cases are.

Wait...you are saying new cases are accelerating? That’s untrue.
I think this is why you have reached the wrong conclusion. You are making flawed comparisons and have very wrong basic info.
