I'm not arguing against what data from Israel may show in general, I didn't go into that rabbit hole.
What I'm arguing is that the argument as presented in this thread cannot support this conclusion since they only focus on the vaccinated/non vaccinated ratio of hospitalised cases, which by definition goes up as more people get vaccinated. The effect is also compounded by a skewed distribution in favour of older people "getting severely sick" (and thus hospitalized) versus the general lower "getting sick" bar set to measure vaccine effectiveness.
This is a bit counterintuitive and makes for an easy topic for journalists to create a sensationalistic piece.
Unfortunately that's how most articles of the subject that I see cited look like. Perhaps there are better articles that make a stronger case, with all the relevant number (such as hospitalizations / infected people in general population). Can you share one if you know about it?
