What's the actual numbers, though, for Israel? Rather than just percentages.
For example.
Let's say they had 500 people in the hospitals with COVID, and 95% of them were fully vaccinated......how old are these 475 people?
Because you'd expect all of the over 60s to be 100% fully vaccinated more or less, so if those 475 people are like 80+, then it's hardly surprising that they're a) fully vaccinated and b) in hospital because b) is what happens to elderly people, covid or no covid. Something would put those people there anyway.
If say, half of those 475 people were under 60, then yeah that'd be concerning to say the least.
Personally, I think these figures are deliberately vague because they're ramping up the booster shot promotion campaign. September is just a few weeks away, what better way to scare the public into subscribing to a third shot than to start releaing stories like this.....
Per, Jerusalem Post:

"As of Thursday morning, there were some 250 COVID-19 patients in serious condition
210 over the age of 60yr; 153 were fully vaccinated.
Remaining 40 aged under 60yr; 9 fully vaccinated
Currently, there are no patients in Israel under the age of 30 who are in serious condition.
Among those who are in serious condition and over the age of 60, the balance shifts: there are more fully vaccinated patients who are in serious conditions than unvaccinated ones. However, some 91% of the relevant population – almost 1.6 million people – is fully immunized, with only 109,000 people not protected.
In the 60-69 cohort, 27 vaccinated people were in serious condition as of Thursday, in addition to 18 non-vaccinated individuals and one person partially vaccinated. Looking at the numbers per 100,000 people, there are 26.8 patients who were not vaccinated, 9.5 who were partially vaccinated and only 4.1 who were vaccinated.
Among those 70-79, there were 57 fully vaccinated serious patients, three partially vaccinated, and 16 not vaccinated. This translates into 73.4 unvaccinated serious patients per 100,000 people, 52.2 partially vaccinated and 12.3 vaccinated.
In the 80-89 age group, there were 52 serious patients who were vaccinated, one partially vaccinated, and 12 not vaccinated. Considering data per 100,000 people, there are 105 unvaccinated serious patients, 25.7 partially vaccinated serious patients, and 25 vaccinated serious patients.
Among individuals over the age of 90, there were 18 people fully vaccinated, two partially vaccinated and two non-vaccinated. However, taking into consideration the numbers per 100,000 people, this means 60.3 unvaccinated serious patients per 100,000, 115.1 partially vaccinated serious patients and 38.8 vaccinated serious patients.
Looking at the data of how many patients Israel has per 100,000 people, it is clear that those who are not inoculated are still getting seriously ill much more than jabbed people."
