Read what you wrote over and over

Hmmm..... Israel has more than 60% with double dose vaccine.... past herd immunity ....(remember what herd immunity is supposed to do?) ... but yet cases are now up 10 times in one month only.

The severe disease rates in the vaccinated are about one-tenth of those seen in the unvaccinated, which means the vaccine is still over 90% effective in preventing severe disease,” Leshem added. “People who received the booster dose are also at much, much lower risk of becoming infected, our short-term data shows.

So, the situation in Israel is caused by several factors:

The Delta variant has some ability to escape the protection offered by vaccines, and the protection seems to wane a bit over time after two doses.

Premature lifting of restrictions.

The herd immunity threshold required for Delta is higher, likely over 80% of the whole population, not the 60% achieved in Israel.

Over 70% of infections with Delta arise from asymptomatic transmission, which makes it harder to control.

Cases of Delta breakthrough infection in vaccinated people can be as infectious as in unvaccinated people (though viral load declines faster in vaccinated people).

Everyone the vaccine is killing more people than it saves.
