Vaccination likely dramatically slows the spread. Even with the most pessimistic non-peer-reviewed numbers, Delta in a vaccinated (Pfizer or Moderna) population will spread no faster than original Covid in an unvaccinated population, and the death (and presumably long-term disability) toll will be substantially reduced.
As a non-expert, IMO the most pessimistic numbers are likely to be more pessimistic than warranted.

A significant % of Israel's entire population is currently too young to be eligible for vaccination. There are two commonly reported %s: percent of population and percent of eligible population.
