"THEY say" You believe everything THEY say? They may say that , but that is not what is really happening, the numbers are way higher. Israel has 60% hospitalized are jabbed. Also just anecdotally in my personal experience a bulk of people I know that have had tested positive for covid have been "vaxxed". But keep believing what you are being sold
Among unvaccinated patients aged 60 and up, there were 154.7 serious cases per 100,000 people compared with 19.8 for their vaccinated counterparts.
according to one of the hospital’s doctors
What is clear is that “breakthrough” cases are not the rare events the term implies. As of 15 August, 514 Israelis were hospitalized with severe or critical COVID-19, a 31% increase from just 4 days earlier. Of the 514, 59% were fully vaccinated
“There are so many breakthrough infections that they dominate and most of the hospitalized patients are actually vaccinated,”

Then go get it !! Just don't force people to take it, that is what we that choose not to be jabbed have a problem with.
And I know you are going to try and say we are not being forced but you would be being coy, When you have companies charging non jabbed a surcharge for not taking the jab (delta) and more calling for it.
Doctors saying they will not see people that have not been jabbed, if the reasoning is they can't stand to see people die a horrible death then doctors should refuse to see smokers, alcoholics, obese people, drug addicts, etc, etc You have people saying the un jabbed should not be able to work and should lose their jobs. These are all punitive to force people to take the jab. .

I will just repost this for you. But I don't imagine you will read anything that counters your belief

MSM has no problems posting news articles for their sensational to push the vax vaccination. Because that's what the over all point of the article is.
27 vaccinated people test positive for Covid on a Carnival cruise ship
What is clear is that “breakthrough” cases are not the rare events the term implies. As of 15 August, 514 Israelis were hospitalized with severe or critical COVID-19, a 31% increase from just 4 days earlier. Of the 514, 59% were fully vaccinated. Of the vaccinated, 87% were 60 or older. “There are so many breakthrough infections that they dominate and most of the hospitalized patients are actually vaccinated,” says Uri Shalit, a bioinformatician at the Israel Institute of Technology (Technion) who has consulted on COVID-19 for the government. “One of the big stories from Israel [is]: ‘Vaccines work, but not well enough.’”
They are now specifying CT values for vaccinated individuals. It’s nice to see that the CDC is specifying cycle threshold, as mentioned above, for vaccinated individuals. It simply makes the detection of “positive” cases much more accurate and, as explained above, the chances of a false positive far are less when doing so. But the concern is, the testing of vaccinated individuals with this cycle threshold is less likely to reveal false positives, yet prior to the rollout of the vaccine there is reason to believe that the cycle threshold was 35 or higher, as mentioned earlier in the article. Why all of a sudden change it for vaccinated individuals? Does this mean that those who are unvaccinated will still be tested at a cycle threshold that is more likely return a false positive? Does this mean that unvaccinated individuals are likely to test positive more so than vaccinated ones, not as a result of the test but rather the cycle threshold used?
Corroborating Information: The Deputy Medical Officer of Ontario, Canada, Dr. Barbara Yaffe stated earlier in the pandemic that COVID-19 testing may yield at least 50 percent false positives. This means that people who test positive for COVID may not actually have it.
In July, professor Carl Heneghan, director for the centre of evidence-based medicine at Oxford University and outspoken critic of the current UK response to the pandemic, wrote a piece titled “How many Covid diagnoses are false positives?” He has argued that the proportion of positive tests that are false in the UK could also be as high as 50%.
Former scientific advisor at Pfizer, Dr. Mike Yeadon, also one of the authors of the paper discussed at the beginning of this article, argued that the proportion of positive tests that are false may actually be as high as 90%.

Pot calling the kettle black about only believing what fits your narrative. You are laughable with that accusation
The sheer number of vaccinated Israelis means some breakthrough infections were inevitable, and the unvaccinated are still far more likely to end up in the hospital or die.
