Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Israel has given at least one jab to more than half its population, earning the title of most vaccinated country on Earth. By comparison, the United States has vaccinated about 10 percent of its population.
While Israel races ahead on putting shots in arms, the country is also seeing a spike in cases, with almost 74 out of every 100,000 Israelis testing positive for the virus, compared to about 40 out of every 100,000 Americans. On Thursday, the death toll in Israel crossed 5,000.
When asked about the seemingly contradictory puzzle, Galia Rahav, the head of the infectious-disease unit at Tel Aviv’s Sheba Medical Center, sighed, chuckled, and said: “This is Israel. We have to be extreme in everything.”

Covid cases are in currently decline in Isreal. Your quote from Galia Rahaz is from an article from over 2 1/2 months ago. A lot can change in 2 1/2 months.
About 50% of people in the U.S. have received at least one covid vaccination and about 30% are fully vaccinated (though this data may be a couple of weeks old).
Vaccines are only part of the solution. Social behaviour is also important, such as stopping large gatherings and ensuring that it is not only Israeli Jews, but also the Palestinians and ultra orthodox Jews in Israel who are vaccinated.

Some 74.24% are Jews of all backgrounds (about 6,829,000 individuals), 20.95% are Arab of any religion other than Jewish in Israel.
Plus Israel has about ten times the population density of the USA, in short it is, literally, very crowded. You can hardly realistically compare the two.
And also 79 per hundred thousand, while a little higher than the USA is still very low, the sort of low level that most countries would regard as a great success, and clear proof that their methods were working. While only five thousand deaths would be a dream for most countries.
And Israel does also have a large uncounted population, which means that their figures are often skewed.
If you believe in vaccine or not, these are pointless stats., just given the sort of interpretation usually used to fool the unwary. Not really any better than the old, "more than the usual number of legs" proof.
The herd mentality is a crowded bunch right now. UK and Israel have an scam agenda to multimedia their fake numbers as an example for everyone in the world to be all vaccinated, that will fail. . Have not ever been a herd follower myself, perfer a wiggle rather than a struggle through out life.
