Without them they were headed to the same daily death rate per million as the US. How they are at half the death rate.
- thehappypm 5y agoI’m unconvinced. The death rate in Israel is lower than the US for many reasons — including a far less obese population, a younger population, a higher vaccination rate, and (likely) more willingness to do things like mask up voluntarily. They don’t have an Arkansas. The cases started falling around when the boosters started but it could just be the natural rise and fall. Timing is not enough proof for me.
