Worried about rising infections in Israel's vaccinated population. With transmissibility this high not sure how we avoid the entire vaccinated population infected? Severity mitigated w vaccine ofc—but yikes.

Vaccinations don't make you immune to infection. Their goal is to reduce infection, yes, but also if you get it, it's a much milder case.
However, if the *hospitalizations* of the vaccinated is going up, then, of course, that's much worse. Is that data available?

Yes, I know. The surprising thing to me is that transmissibility appears to be high enough that all vaccinated people may end up infected. Certainly not what I was expecting!
To your question: hospitalizations have doubled in last month but can't find vaxx/non-vaxx breakdown.

It's a sore spot for me, equating infection of the vaccinated as a big failure (out at least a huge concern) assuming the vast majority are asymptomatic, it's just not as horrible as it's portrayed

This is a much smaller sample size, but Springfield, MO is in the heart of the US delta variant zone, and they say hospitalizations for vaccinated individuals is "rare".
