Is this intended as a counterpoint, or a point in support? People have been pretty loose with their "therefore" about this Israel snippet. After all, if 100% of Israel had been vaccinated with Pfizer, then 100% of adults infected with Delta would have been fully vaccinated. I'm sure the raw number of people infected with Delta is way down compared to what it would have been w/o vaccination though.

This is a frequent anti-vaxx talking point that well predates COVID-19. In most outbreaks in highly vaccinated populations, most of the cases will be in the vaccinated. We see this for measles and pertussis all the time. The rate will be much lower though.

Just googling, Israel vaccination rate is 57.0%

Cool. Note that among adults, that rate would be higher. (For the apples-to-apples comparison with above.) Saw one headline that said 80% as of June 1st. If that's true, the original stat is basically equivalent to saying that 50% of the infections are among the 20% of the (unvaccinated) adult population.
