What happened to Israel and COVID-19 vaccinations?

It appears that things are not going as well as you had thought.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has classified Israel at Level 4 for COVID-19 risk, the highest level in their system, recommending Americans to avoid travel to Israel.

“If you must travel to Israel, make sure you are fully vaccinated before travel,” the warning issued on Monday reads. “Because of the current situation in Israel, even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading COVID-19 variants.”

Among countries at Level 4 are Spain, France, Brazil and the UAE.

Before vaccinations began, around four percent of patients became seriously ill. But today, with most of the country vaccinated, an estimated 1.5 percent of patients become seriously ill. And a Health Ministry study of data from January to July concluded that vaccinated people with preexisting diseases are better protected against serious illness than unvaccinated people of the same age with no preexisting conditions...in previous waves, relatively healthy people aged 40 to 50 sometimes deteriorated rapidly into serious illness and death within 48 hours. “And so far, we haven’t seen that in this wave. The deaths we’re seeing are mostly patients with serious preexisting conditions.”

Israel has more serious COVID cases, but patients have milder illness, doctors say

Vaccinations in Israel are working so well that the US government has warned citizens not to go there.

Warned them not to go there--unless they're vaccinated. You left that last part out.

Yes, because the vaccine is working SO WELL in Israel that Americans that get the same vaccine (or similar) with be perfectly safe there.

Nope. Sorry tard. That was explicitly covered in the OP.

Perhaps it's time for you to go away again?

Duh... that's been true throughout the entire COVID-19 pandemic.
