way more than half the infections in Israel are in vaccinated people. the raw data is here: https://data.gov.il/dataset/covid-19/resource/9b623a64-f7df-4d0c-9f57-09bd99a88880/download/cases-among-vaccinated-94.csv … I would think
@israelMOH (which reports VE for COVID-19 at only 41%) controlled for local vaccination rates https://www.gov.il/BlobFolder/reports/vaccine-efficacy-safety-follow-up-committee/he/files_publications_corona_two-dose-vaccination-data.pdf …pic.twitter.com/m37AyrNtuk

Yep that's the data source I used! It's about 90% of infections for the week 11/07-17/07 in vaccinated people age 60+, with >97% (~1.35m/1.39m) vaccinated in that age group

in your blog post, you say that ~97% of Israelis age 60+ have had two doses, but it’s lower: however,
@_lewisy has argued that the vaccination rate among age70+ where cases are currently concentrated in Israel (secular Jewish areas/central Israel) is ~97% https://twitter.com/_lewisy/status/1420162397415870469 …pic.twitter.com/cG11w4mBfi

Huh, that's odd I'll have to check my numbers. The figure from the spreadsheet online say 1.35million second doses in that population and the population estimate I could find for 2020 said 1.39 million individuals
