Israel exclusively used the Phizer vaccine.Take a look at the number of vaccinated that are seriously ill or dying. I just wonder what the true numbers are in the U.S. We keep getting fed the message that the overwhelming hospitalizations and deaths are the unvaccinated. All the other highly vaccinated countries are not reporting that.
338 COVID-related deaths in one week

A total of 46,347 new cases of SARS-CoV-2 were reported across Israel Thursday, down from 60,851 on Wednesday, according to data released by the Israeli Health Ministry Friday morning.
The number of new daily infections is down by nearly half from its peak of 85,164 in late January, with the Omicron wave appearing to have passed its peak.
The percentage of tests coming back positive fell to 24.92% Thursday, down from 28.54% a day earlier.
There are now 373,160 known active cases of the virus in Israel, with 1,230,712 total infections reported since the pandemic began.
Of the active cases, 1,132 patients are seriously ill, including 480 people who received three or four doses of the COVID vaccine, 117 vaccinated patients without the booster, and 482 unvaccinated patients. The number of seriously ill patients fell Friday, declining from 1,153 on Thursday.
There were 26 COVID-related deaths reported Thursday, including 13 patients with at least one booster shot, 6 vaccinated without a booster, and 6 unvaccinated patients. There were 54 deaths reported Wednesday. A total of 338 deaths were recorded in the last week, and 9,080 total deaths since the pandemic began in early 2020.
The infection coefficient continues to decline, falling from 0.91 to 0.90, signaling that the pandemic is in decline.

'80% of serious COVID cases are fully vaccinated' says Ichilov hospital director
Vaccine has "no significance regarding severe illness," says Prof. Yaakov Jerris.

Are Israeli hospitals really overloaded with unvaccinated COVID patients? According to Prof. Yaakov Jerris, director of Ichilov Hospital’s coronavirus ward, the situation is completely opposite.
“Right now, most of our severe cases are vaccinated,” Jerris told Channel 13 News. “They had at least three injections. Between seventy and eighty percent of the serious cases are vaccinated. So, the vaccine has no significance regarding severe illness, which is why just twenty to twenty-five percent of our patients are unvaccinated.”
Jerris also revealed some of the confusion in reporting cases. Speaking at a cabinet meeting on Sunday, he told ministers, “Defining a serious patient is problematic. For example, a patient with a chronic lung disease always had a low level of oxygen, but now he has a positive coronavirus test result which technically makes him a ‘serious coronavirus patient,’ but that’s not accurate. The patient is only in a difficult condition because he has a serious underlying illness.”
