- The data is too perfect. Every group, with the exception of the 90+ group, is within 3% points. I would have to dig out some old college texts to figure the probability of that happening randomly.

- If the data is true, then the vaccine is doing absolutely nothing to slow infections. It was never said to be 100% effective, but absolutely 0?

- This data is not consistent with the (limited) data that has been presented from other countries. Only in Israel are the breakthrough cases in proportion to the number of people vaccinated.

Something is going on but the cleanliness of this data and the contrast with any other data set makes me skeptical.
So, posts here constantly complain that no one agrees on any of the data, and now you complain that there is too much agreement. Okay....
