1st point: Vaccination in Israel is not as great among the developed world as it seems. This was a surprise to me. The constant barrage of vaccine headlines make it seem they lead the world. They do not.
66% of the population is fully vaccinated. Pretty close to the US 64.4%

In that context, it's not surprising that their death rate per million is in line with the US. And-just like in the US-you see a dramatic rise with #Omicron ripping through the population.
So what about this part about the majority of deaths are vaccinated people?
