When reports of covid reached the US I bought some N95 masks which I gave to family members if they were going to the airport or crowded place. Soon after that, I saw the data that came from the Diamond Princess (cruise ship). I saw that a) we would all eventually be exposed regardless of what we did and b) the vast majority of us would have no or mild symptoms. After that I stopped caring about masks etc and just watched this policy debacle unfold with disbelief and disgust.
Here's a great sensationalized heading: "COVID in Israel: Nearly Half of Deaths Over Past Month Are Among Unvaccinated." The nearly half is 45% which means 55% of the deaths were in the vaccinated. If this were an election piece then the vaccinated would have won (err, lost) with a landslide victory. Clearly the vaccine will keep you from severe disease and certainly nearly 100% protect from death (of course, there is no data on age and/or co-morbidities). I am glad Israel is keeping such good records, but again, good journalism must always incite hysteria in the masses. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/covid-in-israel-severe-cases-remain-stable-1.10216067
