Running some quick numbers on that Israel “Stop living in fear after being vaccinated” thing, it looks like Israel’s current 7-day average is about 8000 cases/day, so with a population of 9 million we should expect about 110 cases/day out of 125k vaccinated if vaccines did nothing and people didn’t change their behavior. What they actually got was 20.. over what time period? Vaccines clearly work to a wonderful extent, but is it really to the “Don’t think twice about going out partying then visiting immune compromised and unvaccinated grandma” level?
On an unrelated note, aren’t these mRNA vaccines supposed to produce a lot more antibodies than COVID? Shouldn’t that show up on a COVID antibody test? Because in my experience they did not.
