Roughly 40% of new cases – or more than 3,000 patients – involved people who had been infected despite being vaccinated.
With a total of 835,792 Israelis known to have recovered from the virus, the 72 instances of reinfection amount to 0.0086% of people who were already infected with COVID.
By contrast, Israelis who were vaccinated were 6.72 times more likely to get infected after the shot than after natural infection, with over 3,000 of the 5,193,499, or 0.0578%, of Israelis who were vaccinated getting infected in the latest wave.
Natural infection vs vaccination: Which gives more protection? - Israel National News
Dr. Marty Makary, a professor at John Hopkins School of Medicine, during an appearance on The Vince Coglianese Show, said individuals formerly infected with COVID-19 are seven times more likely then vaccinated people to fight off the virus.
“It appears that natural immunity is better against the Delta variant. When you get infected with COVID, your body’s immune system develops antibodies to the entire surface of the virus,” Makary said. “Not just the slight protein that the vaccines gives you, but the entire surface. And so you get a more diverse antibody portfolio in your system.”

What peer reviewed journal was this study published in? In answer is none because it would never be accepted for publication in a peer reviewed journal as the premise is flawed.
"More than 7,700 new cases of the virus have been detected during the most recent wave starting in May, but just 72 of the confirmed cases were reported in people who were known to have been infected previously – that is, less than 1% of the new cases."
With the population of Israel being 8,803,609 people and with 66% of the population being vaccinated, that is about 5,810,382 people. "With a total of 835,792 Israelis known to have recovered from the virus" that is about 9% of the population. So what is this article is saying? 72 cases in 9% of the population previously infected is better than 7628 cases in 8,803,609 people? They are comparing apples to oranges and the data is flawed.
BTW, 3,500 new cases per day are being reported in Israel so "More than 7,700 new cases of the virus have been detected during the most recent wave starting in May" is just false data. 7700 new cases is about three days - not since May.
I'm going outside now, but you do you and keep reading nonsense on the internet.
