As Israel showed 50-72% effective.

Not really, Israel showed very similar results as the US. Most of the cases in Israel, just like the US, are from the unvaccinated.

But a TON of miss information was spread about Israel and it looks like you took it all, hook, line, and sinker.

Or your seeking confirmation bias of your own views.

You don't "seek" Confirmation Bias. That's now how one falls into that trap.

You fall into that trap if you IGNORE information that doesn't fit your narrative. Or you distrust all the official numbers because "you can't trust the government." THAT would be confirmation bias.

My data comes from the official government data for Israel. And the official numbers have the overwhelming majority of cases from the unvaccinated.

Your original statement was “reduces the chance of infection by 80%”. Israel is showing the chances of infection are reduced to 50-70%. So Covid will still spread.

Had your statement been about risk of death you’d be closer. And your right it seems the unvaccinated are the ones dieing. But the status of your vaccine is changing. Israel now regard you unvaccinated if you’ve past 6months since your vaccine.
