Could you please give a scientific explanation of the difference between the most vaccinated country and one of the least vaccinated countries located next to it https://www.google.com/search?q=israel+covid+cases&rlz=1C1CH https://www.google.com/search?q=israel+covid+cases&rlz=1C1CH... https://www.google.com/search?q=palestine+covid+cases&rlz=1C1C https://www.google.com/search?q=palestine+covid+cases&rlz=1C......

  I am not an apologist for vaccine utopianism and don't agree with the other commenter but your particular example suffers the same unfortunate fate of a point I made in the past. The scientific explanation is that Google infographics suck. They are sourced from wikipedia data and have huge gaps and sometimes even absurd duplicates. If you look at a consistent data source[0] you will see that the 7-day average case rate in Palestine has gone from 131 on August 11th to 699 August 20th, a doubling time of 1.42 days. This would be extremely rapid transmission. [0] https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/palestine https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/palestine

    Thank you! I didn't know about this resource, it's quite helpful! The site makes it possible to compare any two countries on the same graph. That's what I did, but the qualitative effect looks as sharp as in google's graphs. Please take a look https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/palestine?country=PSE~ISR https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/palestine?cou...
