We don’t know do we? Will they ever release figures?
In Israel aren’t 85% of new hospital intakes been double jabbed? Didn’t their Health minister say that vaccinated people now present a greater risk to the wider population than unvaccinated?
It was an interview i heard. I’d like to think it’s fake but I don’t know. If anyone wanted to clarify that or debunk it please post.
I prefer to believe there’s hope with vaccines
That's selectively playing with Statistics now isn't it?
Israel has 80+% of its population vaccinated, so chances are that the ones who need hospitalization would be vaccinated more often than not. The absolute numbers have drastically reduced from the previous year when the virus broke out.
Would the scientific community have loved it for a vaccine to prevent all hospitalization, yes absolutely.
But should the fact that there are breakthrough cases stop anyone from taking the vaccine, no freaking way!
If you want to read about it a bit more - this article was pretty insightful -

While people do have the right to informed choice, their choices should have consequences. If you're not vaccinated, you shouldn't be allowed in a place of public usage (i.e. pubs, football grounds, theaters, malls etc.). Enjoy your choice inside your own homes.
Editing to add another quote that was particularly insightful
Washington Post article said:
Vaccinated Israelis, like White Americans, are older as a group than unvaccinated Israelis. And that’s why they’re going to the hospital at a rate higher than you might naively hope. Among Israeli adults under 50, as of Aug. 15, 3.5 million were vaccinated and 1.1 million were not. That’s still a considerable number of vaccine holdouts. Among those 3.5 million vaccinated younger people, just 11 were hospitalized — about three per million. Meanwhile, of the unvaccinated in this age range, 43 were in the hospital, or 39 per million.
