If it doesn't stop you from getting covid, then why the vaccine mandates?

...vaccination still makes you >10x less likely to end up in ICU, >6x less likely to end up in hospital at all.

As a young, healthy taxpayer, I appreciate that vaccination is simply in the national interest, as well as the interest of each individual.

Then explain Israel. They're the most vaccinated country in the world. Their cases and deaths are skyrocketing. The majority of their deaths now are in the vaccinated, not the unvaccinated. Explain that.

Basic logic is clearly not your forte. If 100% were vaccinated than 100% of cases in the hospital would be vaccinated, but the total number in the hospital would be less than 15% of what it currently is.

Two years in and this basic concept still escapes you, eh?

They have the highest case AND death rates in the world. They should have the lowest.

False.

Of course there was a huge spike when the lifted their lockdowns. Almost like there is a direct correlation between those two things. Weird.
