Israel used to be an outlier but no more. The data from Mayo Clinic is very consistent with Israel's: https://www.news-medical.net/amp/news/20210908/Immunity-i

  The Mayo clinic study is the other major outlier. The Mayo clinic study found that the vaccines were highly effective, but nonetheless tried to extrapolate from a trend seen in a subset of the data from the final month: > Both vaccines were highly effective during this study period against SARS-CoV-2 infection (mRNA-1273: 86%, 95%CI: 81-90.6%; BNT162b2: 76%, 95%CI: 69-81%) and COVID-19 associated hospitalization (mRNA-1273: 91.6%, 95% CI: 81-97%; BNT162b2: 85%, 95% CI: 73-93%). However, in July, the effectiveness against infection was considerably lower for mRNA-1273 (76%, 95% CI: 58-87%) with an even more pronounced reduction in effectiveness for BNT162b2 (42%, 95% CI: 13-62%). There are many problems with this, and it shouldn't be given much weight.
