Canada also has a high rate of vaccination and I am studying the data here carefully, but the results are not quite as stark as Israel (so far).

There has been an uptick in cases and hospitalization and deaths, since about mid-June, but the percentages of hospital admissions are rather inconclusive (for somebody trying to decide which way to go). I don’t get the feeling from the numbers I have seen that either hypothesis is true, either

(a) vaccines are very effective and mostly unvaccinated people are now being infected, admitted to hospital and dying in disproportionate numbers;

(b) vaccines are ineffective and possibly quite dangerous in spreading the virus or weakening immunity.

So it’s a bit of a toss up as the numbers are not statistically “significant” either way, they don’t prove what the media and governments are saying (you must get vaccinated for your own good and the good of society) and they don’t prove the reverse, that vaccines are disproportionately dangerous.

I would call the numbers I have seen inconclusive and not really a strong reason to follow any particular course of action. It is more like the vaccines are not as effective as most optimistic proponents claim. That of course might be true of almost anything in the medical realm.

Will be continuing to study the data as I acquire it, always the proviso being, it’s not data that I can verify but just data that is provided by health authorities.
