You didn’t really answer the question? If a vaccine is shown to reduce harm at the population level in Israel would you take it?

If what you are saying is true the vaccinated in Israel should be getting a worse version of Covid then the unvaccinated and therefore once infected die at a higher rate correct? What assertion are you making and how would that assertion if true show up in the data?

I think your logic is faulty. the human immune system is creating antibodies to create natural immunity. Then Covid has a potential to mutate every time it transmits. The variants best able to infect survive. So with or without a vaccine the risk of variants is unchanged. So we can aquire immunity by killing .5% of us each time a significant new variant emerges or natural immunity wears out or we can vaccinate. You’d have to show why a vaccine is worse than natural immunity. Reducing opportunities to escape is the key thing to suppress.
