“With a total of 835,792 Israelis known to have recovered from the virus, the 72 instances of reinfection amount to 0.0086% of people who were already infected with COVID.
“By contrast, Israelis who were vaccinated were 6.72 times more likely to get infected after the shot than after natural infection, with over 3,000 of the 5,193,499, or 0.0578%, of Israelis who were vaccinated getting infected in the latest wave.”
In Europe, there is no correlation between level of vaccination and covid infection – if anything, nations with more vaccinations are currently seeing higher case rates. The argument appears to have shifted from “vaccines prevent infection” to “vaccines prevent serious illness”.
