It’s like looking at over the course of a day’s time and ringing the alarm if 1 person who had been vaccinated got COVID while 0 unvaccinated people did and saying that you are infinitely times more likely to get COVID if you’ve been vaccinated. Their only purpose in showing you that graph over a short period with raw numbers as opposed to normalized data over a longer period is shock value.
I get that. I understand 11 people is an extremely small number. Given the survivability and being that Israel’s population is only a few million and the fact they have hardly have any severely overweight people like we do in the U.S., then 11 total hospitalizations seems pretty reasonable. I understand 11 is a small number, but it’s not nothing.
Given that the U.K.’s numbers aren’t looking good as well and the number of vaccinated people here in the U.S. testing positive when they mostly interact with other vaccinated colleagues then the Israel data seems to be pretty consistent no matter how small the sample size is.
